    Any others switched to Davinci Resolve for Post Work?

    Final Cut Pro and Resolve both much better than APPro. Another great one that surprises many... LumaFusion for iPad Pro In many ways... LumaFusion is great, better than desktop editors.

    Mavic 3 granted first EASA C1 Certificate

    Not a USA applicable, but great news for EU Flyers! Doesn't require an A2 exam & cert... Should encourage EU Owners to examine & purchase the Mavic 3, not just a Mini series. Discussed over on the Mavic Forum too...

    Windows 11 installing idea is needed.

    As with many MS OS, the initial releases aren't that stable in all hardware. There have been many Win11 Updates, some almost weekly. Check for Updates and allow all the updates, it may improve your stability. I've updated or rebuilt multiple Business AMD & Intel Systems, MacPro Intel BootCamp...

    Different to US Bans, UK Ministry ofDefense continues to buy DJI Drones

    Agree, I've stated similar in past. Additionally, Military continues to purchase despite statements/general policy to ban... any special task can purchase as needed... and DJI is one. Humorously, I've never understood the logic that a drone is more threat than all the data collection devices...

    Finally working steadily!

    Just a bit of update… the XRite ColorChecker has changed Company names… to find look for “Calibrite ColorCheker Passport 2”. All the XRite ColorChecker listing now show discontinued.… it‘s still same product, just a Company Name division from main Brand. A similar product but larger… is by...

    Different to US Bans, UK Ministry ofDefense continues to buy DJI Drones

    Found this Jun 6th Article interesting. Not accepting the "unproven claims by US", and acknowledging that DJI continues to produce superior platforms. https://dronedj.com/2022/06/06/begging-to-differ-with-us-ban-uks-mod-buys-dji-drones/ Personally, I've felt the unsubstantiated claims have...

    Where to find a DJI S1000 or S900

    Not sure if Web Site is accurate or current... but shows they have new. dji-s1000-frame-hexacopter Glad to see your adventurous side for a S1000. If your Profile is accurate on age (diff on Inspire forum), you've missed sUAV development years. Your Mavic PRO will fly totally different than...

    Windows 11 installing idea is needed.

    Windows 11 is basically a Win10 core with updates shell (icons, etc), other than cosmetic and some menu changes, haven't noticed any compatibility or significant bugs. It does have a TPM2 requirement, which a lot of existing hardware doesn't contain or provide... thus not updatable to Win11...

    Drone based thermography quality and usability.

    That's what I assumed... photo 072311 was 2 degrees. I understand isotherm... just wanted to verify which photo was on the pinched 2 degrees. Thanks!

    Drone based thermography quality and usability.

    For my understanding, could you indicate which one is which... I'm assuming 072311 is the pinched down 2 degrees. You found same / similar settings on M2EA? I was under assumption M2EA was limited in several thermal settings.

    Drone based thermography quality and usability.

    Very nice, thanks for verifying! That would be "nice software"... since same sensor as the M2EAdv, but software more advanced than provided by DJI SW. That's interesting how the Autel SW for same Sensor is more feature rich on Thermo configurations. I purchased the EVO2 Ent 6K (returned) with...

    Drone based thermography quality and usability.

    In searching... I did find a purchased convertor product that takes 3rd Party thermal images and converts to FLIR R-JPEG & TIFF. It does specifically state DJI to FLIR. https://aetha.global/product/thermoconverter/

    Drone based thermography quality and usability.

    Interesting and good to see... the "convertor" to move to FLIR format & Tools. Do you have any lead or pointer to where or who makes that convertor. I assume the convertor takes a DJI File and converts to FLIR file format?

    Drone based thermography quality and usability.

    Sounds very promising… Is yours the FLIR sensor model? I too would be interested in it’s capabilities.

    Needing a Test Unit - XT2 640 13mm to verify my XT2

    I’m looking for a willing Owner of a XT2 640 13mm to loan their XT2 out to a fellow XT2 Owner to help verify my XT2 camera. Or, if someone knows how / whom to contact to have mine repaired… since FLIR Repair didn’t correct. My XT2 appears to be out of focus on the RGB at any distance beyond...
