    Flight Log Syncing Between Apps

    I use AirData to log my activities. It supports manual updates when you are flying an unsupported app. Check Kittyhawk for a Log Import feature.

    UAS Related Conferences

    If there isn’t an actual place to get this info, and if at least a couple people are interested in moderating the list, I would be happy to create a website as a sub domain on davesdrone.zone. If a domain is purchased on GoDaddy (easiest source for this purpose) the the list URL would be that...

    Parrot Disco for crop survey & forestry, any actual user experiences?

    Nobody ever wants to talk about pricing, but those numbers are really helpful to people looking for opportunities. If we know how much a typical golf course costs to do an ag review, then we can make reasonable decisions to determine if an investment in drones would be worth it. Thanks.

    Cost effective ways to obtain GPS data for Ground Control Points

    This is a great Thread! I’ve been researching this very topic, and for clarity, the P4-RTK doesn’t solve th GCP issue. You may not require GCP’s with the P4-RTK, but they help with added accuracy. You can’t use the P4-RTK toget GCPcoordinates, or so I’m told from a DJI dealer.

    M210-RTK problems with Data Mapping accuracy?

    I was really hoping for an experienced M210 owner to respond - I’m not diss’ing your answer, I really appreciate it. The video described a control station with the M210-RTK that looked kind of like a GCP, but I’m new to this space and don’t fully understand all of it. Hence my question. I am all...

    M210-RTK problems with Data Mapping accuracy?

    I watched a video review of the M210-RTK at: Around the 15 minute mark, the author talks about the RTK not being accurate enough for data mapping, though he says the RTK feature makes the M210-RTK excel when working close to magnetic interference, such as power lines and steel towers. Can...
