Looking for a free drone mapping app. All I really want is to be able to take a grid of raw photos and I can stich them myself. I have used DroneDeploy in the past and I just downloaded it and it says it is in 14 day trial mode. Does anyone know if the app will stop working completely after 14...

It would appear that any listed FOVs are diagonal. Did you look at the link I posted above? It shows the math. The math I did clearly shows that the DJI posted FOV does not match my numbers so would make sense now that the numbers are diagonal.

OK I assume that is in Camera mode because that uses the whole sensor? EDIT: Actually in Camera mode it is def only 64 degrees. In Full FOV video it would be closer to the 67.

OK I just made a post that might answer your question just as your post answered my question. FOV is calculate diagonally which I did not know but you might use my post to calculate the height you will need. Although this post is OLD now so you probably already figured it out...

I made some measurements to check my actual FOV of the M2P. The measurements were in Camera mode. At 200cm from the wall the width of the image was 248cm. By my calculations that is only 64 degrees not the advertised 77. I checked this at different distances just to corroborate my...

Can people comment on the latest best cheapie drones to fly indoors with no position or altitude hold? Please don't recommend any DJI product as I have looked at all those already.

Wow. Im surprised how in focus the bird is given that the buildings on the ground are in sharp focus.

If you leave all sensors on and try to catch it by avoiding activating the sensors you are risking an accident. What if it is windy out? Youll end up cutting your fingers or worse. When I grab it i want to know I can squeeze it tight then sticks down. The only way I would do it is by turning...

Yes exactly this. The certification covers all AC you mentioned. They want us to acknowledge that we are joining the airspace of aircraft and that this is serious. I studied for about 2 hours and did the basic test in 45 minutes and got 88%. Yes there were some questions that I thought were...

Are you positive the new iPad 5 Wi-Fi version does not have GPS now? It's funny because any Android tablet I've ever had have all had GPS.

Yes as I mentioned, I did search extensively. I was asking if anyone can give me a link. Is there anyone on this forum that does not know how to solder? Not many I would guess. In any event I am not going to spend that much money just to get a cable.

I would like this solution but I cant find a conversion cable for the Mavic 2. Has anyone seen this somewhere? I have no issue discharging using the two resisters that I have shown but bypassing USB would be nice to discharge a little faster.

Actually you would be more like a hand burner. You definitely cannot touch them when they're discharging it at 2 amps. My trial was done on the top of my stove because I was warned they get very hot and that is likely the only place I would do it except for maybe on tile.

Yes you are allowed to have your own opinion :). I base my decisions on science and past history. Past history has shown that lipos shouldn't be left fully charged if not used (There is a lot of evidence for this if you care to research). Until someone shows me differently I will discharge if...

Dude you must be a lawyer or something. OK I will spell it out for you. If I know the bird is going to sit for a while then I discharge them immediately. EDIT: Please feel free not to comment on my posts in the future.
