5 "BIDS"... we Bid well above the 'budget' most times

I bet it is S.R. --> Scott Rose (and team) from Dronevideos Tried for 5 years to workout a high volume setup with them, but they won't.. cause they keep getting Yes's to these requests you mention.

Anyone had experience with Drone Mounted Hyperspectral sensors? I know some have skyport capability now. Recommended Brands and ballpark pricing for 'base' models?

True true! But very interesting! Our primary 'rtk' guy... using the P4P-RTK... refuses to go back to the v1 for 'regular' mapping sites because it is 'night and day' in terms of signal strength across the large construction sites... and he no longer has to change launch points while doing lawn...

Updating to Get Current! Fresno and Bakersfield are more approximate locations for the 'majority' of our seasonal AG work.

Are there other reasons you have seen that someone would need a v2 over a v1 aside from the transmission protocols used?

Additionally, BVLOS Can be overcome with multiple VOs, whereas the transmitter may still be obstructed by tree branches, etc. Thus the reason the product designers continue to improve on the transmission protocols.. like the vast improvement from the P4Pv1 to P4Pv2! It made AG yield trial...

Proprietary App... autonomous flights to targeted trees, user input for alignment... strong signal required for constant video and timely adjustments. Video must be used since VLOS cannot help Pilot with the top of a tree. No applications submitted, cause it does not fall into the FAA...

Also... as an FAA consultant for waiver acquisition, PLEASE don't confuse people as to BVLOS having anything to do with a UAV flying behind a tree 🤣. We are Just Now beginning to make great progress in that area!

Exaxtly my point. All he did was ask if the Obsidian came in v2... not if the cameras were the same. Saw a lot of people get burned without v2s. Automated missions that required low descents across hundreds of acres (from stationary lauunch site) were not working with the client's proprietary...

Yah... but lots of the v2 requests were based on client specific needs... many in the AG world (lots of dense trees)... where the v1 was losing signal at close range. Deliverables are not always the Objective of the requests. Likely Why Yoshi was asking. 👍

Hey Dave! Been a while!! Lance here! Occusync is diff! Remote linking is phenomenally better on v2 for certain missions! (i.e. low altitude AG over large area). We had to go v2 for certain applications.

Each 3D printer uses a specific software... they all have special file formats. But, they can all Import an STL file. So, from your model, export to an STL. I use Pix4D for mapping/modeling side (not flying).

Ouch! Bees360?

What bird are you using??
