I am both happy and unhappy. On one hand we have an option of getting DJI's drones in the event of an FCC ban. This will allow for us to get the great DJI hardware. On the other hand, the pricing will have us paying more. Also will the new software integrate into everything as it does now. I...

Randall Warnas is behind the Raptor drones people have been talking about recently. They are made with DJI hardware, built in Malaysia and use American software from Aloft. They are around 40% more expensive than the DJI version, but at least if the DJI FCC ban happens, you can still have...

Inspired Flight has a new 300/350 clone that looks very interesting. IF-800 Tomcat Link: American-Made Drones | Inspired Flight Technologies It also has a H20T clone and some very interesting payloads to include: photogrammetry cameras, LiDAR, Gas Detection (Laser and Midwave Infrared), and...

I have a Mavic Enterprise Advanced and at work we have an Autel Dual 640. Both get the job done and both are good aircraft. The Mavic 3 T is a better choice for me since you get Flight Hub 2 with its Live Streaming, situational awareness and soon control of the drone from Flight Hub 2. You may...

If it was Drone Base/Zeitview, they have a large number of missions asking for pilots to "break" some rules on various mission types. Maybe try and do your flights before it opens. Lighting may be a factor depending on when they open. Unfortunately, most pilots flying for Zeitview disregard...

I am not trying to be rude, but your question has been answered multiple times. You are not accepting the answer. It was answered here: "No. For RTK to be enabled, and the drone to allow you to fly, you must have a FIX status. You can only have a FIX status when receiving corrections from the...

No. For RTK to be enabled, and the drone to allow you to fly, you must have a FIX status. You can only have a FIX status when receiving corrections from the DJI RTK or Custom NTRIP. If you place the RTK module on your drone and do not enable RTK then you will not be using RTK. When you enable...

When you buy and install the sold separately (Unless in a bundle) RTK module which also must be receiving corrections from a DRTK base on using Custom NTRIP, Glonass (Russian version of GPS) will be used for precise positioning and also precise coordinates will be tagged onto images via DJI Time...

For some reason links are not working all of a sudden. Google NGS Geoid 18 Computation Tool

Yes, if you gave them the data in the original PCS, it would be off since it has a different origin than the new PCS. The next problem is, what vertical system were the GCPs in? Orthometric or Ellipsoid. If ellipsoid, then the data will be in ellipsoid. If they were expecting an orthometric...

I am not following you. Did you reprocess in Drone Deploy with the new EPSG Code? And how close was vertical previously? The M3E wouldn't help here, if you are using properly measured and spaced GCP's.

Sory I forgot you already have in HARN you just need the contours in feet. 1. Export the DEM/DTM from Drone Deploy 2. Use the Contour Tool to create your contours. At this step you can make the contours in feet or US Ft, whatever your client needs. 2. (Alternative). Use the Times tool to change...

Export the DEM/DTM from Drone Deploy. Transform to NAD HARN in Arc Pro. Make contours in Arc Pro. Add the desired point. Export back out as a DXF.

LOL. I got it wrong anyway. It is the ACSL Soten from Japan. It also does have a Smart Controller at around $2K. Could be a hit with those who cannot use DJI.

A new drone is available from Soten from Japan. It looks to be a competitor for the Mavic 3 IMO, and has some interesting features that equal or rival the Mavic 3 E. Swappable payloads (20MP Mechanical Shutter, Multi-Spectral, EO/Thermal (320) LTE connection IP Rating NDAA Compliant SDK A...
