    Anyone using drones in a quarry or stockyard?

    I use a Matrice 210 RTK V2 with an X4s camera and process in Pix4D Desktop for pit/quarry mapping. I work for a public agency and have been doing this for a few years now. I am able to produce aerial images, surface models, quanitities, contours...you name it. I'm also able to inspect for...

    Disappointing Drone Purchase

    I have had issues with my M210 RTK V2 and have called/emailed my supplier many times....with no response. Yes, I think I know who your supplier is and I would like to call them out also. IM me and let me know who they are. I definitely won't be using them again.

    Updated pilot on crystal sky yesterday (2/24/20) problems surfaced today....

    So, once again, I wasted my time after my Matrice 210 V2 RTK did not want to connect to RTK after an update! I'm so frickin PO'd. How does DJI manage to have a working product one moment that then doesn't work the next but they make you do the update or it won't take off! I'm just at my whits...

    M210 RTK V2 - Weak RTK Signal After Firmware Upgrade

    Since downgrading and upgrading back to the latest firmware, I haven't had this issue again....But I definitely make sure and start the drone away from interferences like vehicles (tried starting from on top of the tonneau cover with no luck) and then make sure the back switch is in the correct...

    So I wasted my morning....

    All good points. I get that it's clearly marked and I bought it knowing it had these issues. I probably would buy it again as there is no one with an rtk drone like this machine, that isn't fixed wing, for the price it sells at. When that elusive drone comes out, I will buy it when this...

    questions about matrice 210v2

    Are you using Assistant 2 for Matrice, Version 2.08 in bottom right hand corner of main screen? Drone is powered up? Usb cable supplied is being used? Trying to look for obvious things here....

    questions about matrice 210v2

    Little switch on the back of the drone, turns it to usb mode. Just remember to switch it back when done. Also, what camera are you talking about? Thanks.

    So I wasted my morning....

    This was my first experience with a)finally getting a waiver from the FAA to fly in a restricted zone, and b)having to go through DJIs crap of a procedure. Again, I don't need a private company to restrict me, just the FAA thanks. Obviously I learned how to better approach this for next time.

    Calif. tourist fined $20K for out-of-control drone that landed at airport in Las Vegas flight in 2018

    If I could disable it, I would do it in a heartbeat.

    So I wasted my morning....

    Also, this was in a restricted zone. Basically they are telling me I can't fly there with their drone....So who has a better drone, or solution, for $20,000 that can compete with the capabilities of the matrice 210 V2 RTK that isn't fixed wing and no geofencing?

    So I wasted my morning....

    So who can compete with DJI on features/cost? I wish there was a US company that could. Although, I think most will be like DJI with geofencing... So my next question is, what did I do wrong on this? Is the process just broken or was it me?

    So I wasted my morning....

    DJI Matrice 210 RTK V2, 3 hour waiver in place, requested and received clearance (for the first time) on DJI's website, map wouldn't update and I couldn't take off.....This whole process is BS....I am a licensed pilot and shouldn't have to deal with this BS...
