    Computing horizontal Field of View (FOV) from diagonal FOV

    Architects asking for aerial photos to make renders of tall buildings. It would be useful to know Vertical FOV if the gimbal angle is 0

    Computing horizontal Field of View (FOV) from diagonal FOV

    So, if I'm not wrong these are Horizontal and Vertical FOV angles

    Computing horizontal Field of View (FOV) from diagonal FOV

    Are those the real FOV angles? It doesn't make sense to me. This is to me HFOV that makes sense

    Heading change between 2 waypoints

    And answering to my question in the first post "What I really want is to point camera from WP1 to WP2 and then take control of the heading to WP3." the answer is: WP1 -> Follow course WP2 -> Follow course WP3 -> Manual

    Heading change between 2 waypoints

    Now I set headings: WP1 -> Manual WP2 -> Follow Course WP3 -> Custom Heading Starting at WP1 the nose first turns to North. Then during WP1 to WP2 course the nose turns gradually to the direction defined by WP1 and WP2 until it arrives to WP2. During WP2 to WP3 course the nose turns gradually...

    Heading change between 2 waypoints

    I finally could make a test. Heading changes apply from the previous WP to the present one. So if WP1 heading is set to Follow Course and WP2 to Manual, the course between WP1 to WP2 is in Manual mode. Same applies to gimbal pitch, WP2 setting is used during this course. I’ll try today the...

    Heading change between 2 waypoints

    Working from the Fly app. WP1 Heading is set to Follow Course ('Aircraft heading follows course direction'). This means WP1 to WP2 course the aircraft always heads to WP2? WP2 Heading is set to Manual ('Applies to flight from previous to current waypoint') How can that be understood? What I...

    Drone heading expressed in azimuth degrees in DJI Fly App

    Here still waiting for SDK for tha priced Mavic 3. Also wanting display bearing angle from the north. Old useful tools DJI app had have been removed like manually drawing lines (were light blue) in the map to help flying in the fields as it was in GO app (Phantom 3)

    Geotag Mac app and Mavic 3 photos

    Hi, Also doesn't worth for me spend $39 for HoudaGeo just time to time look at the precise point in the map where the photo was taken. Below is the GPS part of photo taken with a Phantom 4 Pro that GeoTag reads and marks the point in its map. It is strange that underlined data is in the same...

    Geotag Mac app and Mavic 3 photos

    Geotag is a useful free app I use for years. It gets and outputs geolocation data, date and map of photos. It is possible to add coordinates when they are not saved from the camera. I use it to check locations or add data of photos I've taken with SRL or mirrorless cameras and my Phantom 4 Pro...

    Abnormal vertical glares in 7X secondary camera

    It seems it's a coma aberration in the lens, a general problem in the secondary camera

    Abnormal vertical glares in 7X secondary camera

    No need to record a video, it is visible a first sight. I made test with a flash light: I still cannot find another pilot that had the same issue and posted in Youtube around a month ago.

    Abnormal vertical glares in 7X secondary camera

    Thanks for your reply. It is the regular neutral filter that comes with the M3 from factory to protect the lens. Not one of the pack of NDs that comes with the combo. I'm not going to make test without lens protection. In any case what I could do is to make it with the ND4

    Abnormal vertical glares in 7X secondary camera

    (2 photos) Around 3 weeks or so I remember a Youtube video showing the same problem. I cannot find it, I don't remember how did the author or DJI solved that. This is unacceptable, all point of light have those vertical glares. Lens and filter are clean. What can I do? Thanks

    Record point position to return after battery replace

    AFAIK all programmed mission apps return the quad (P4P in my case) when the battery is low. The program regain the mission from the last WP. We don't have to do nothing but change the battery and continue the mission. I'm not flying a mission, only free inspection flights in the fields. I'm...
