Agree. P4P new controller. When the P4P RTK version hits the streets soon it will sell its socks off mostly because so many people are already using the P4P for GIS alongside a surveyor.

Just to keep the thread going along, here are some reasons for why some of these problems happen 1) Incorrect home point Low battery, loss of telemetry, etc causes aircraft to proceed to the incorrect home point. Reason = Pilot error 2) Calibration Error. Aircraft not calibrated correctly...

That’s the wrong question. The right question is “How did it happen”?

Hahaha.... when I used the term RPA someone thought I was talking about a TV show......

If we can't teach people to change the name of the aircraft how are we ever going to change their minds....

Yes it was BIG fun. We also demonstrated multiple threat scenarios and even had a fixed wing circling overhead with a WiFi modem installed like an AWACS. The most stealthy aircraft was a 550 flame wheel that we built with no camera or gimbal, no led lights, no RC or telemetry of any kind. Just...

In my opinion the first thing we might want to think about is not calling commercial unmanned aerial vehicles "drones". We are in the UAS Industry. A self driving car is a "drone"

Hi Vic I was lucky enough to be testing Aeroscope in Australia this past week. We installed the system into a prison facility and then spent four days testing the system. Great fun dropping packages into the prison and also a remote landing inside. Aeroscope worked beautifully but of course it...

My credit card is looking at me and feeling nervous already.....

I present my company as a "Professional" operation and we have a hanger full of all sorts of aircraft. 1200 Octos, Inspires, P4P's (2), 3DR Solo, Pixhawk Frames, 3m fixed wing and a Mavic Pro. When I send one of our guys out to do a job, he or she has to be very convincing before I let them take...

My apologies. When I saw it on the menu selection I wrongly assumed it was fully functional. Maybe a future firmware upgrade or the “Spark 2” will accomodate this function. I think the Spark would be perfect for a quick ortho of a small area where the weight of the aircraft significantly...

In the settings page of the PIX4D app it has Spark on the list. It’s free to download and try....

For my two cents worth the best help you can give fire fighters with a UAV is a wide area mapping service BEFORE the fire season. We map large fire prone areas in the lead up to the season so access trails and current fuel state can be assessed. There are lots more ways we can help in the...

Its easy to do GIS with a Spark. The PIX4D Capture app will fly an excellent grid flight plan and then you can use lots of different software or services to stitch all the photos into an Ortho. No problem at all...
