Hi, It's a great weekend to get out and fly, so accordingly we've released some more free updates for you all for OpenAthena. The app allows you to locate anything within any single drone image, turning what's usually a complex mapping task into a simple, quick action: Our latest update for...

Hello all, I have compiled an extensive tutorial about flying large scale mapping and photogrammetry missions fully autonomously specifically on the DJI Mini 4 Pro drone (without SDK). This tutorial relies heavily on the in-built waypoints feature on the Mini 4 pro. I have also attached a...

I'm trying to get to the holy grail of 1 cm resolution on my orto maps. What are ya'lls settings for height/overlap, etc.? Is there a good rule of thumb? Is it as easy as flying lower and more photos?

Hi! So out of the blue, I've decided to get into drone photogrammetry, mapping/survey. Any advice on where to start? I was thinking of changing my Mini 2 for a proper drone and learning but adding all the costs of drone + courses + software and we break the bank. Another option I was thinking of...

Hi all, New to using a drone other than to socially fly and take photos and after some help on basics for setting up the drone to take mapping photos. Done a little bit of research myself so far and this is what I've come up with. I own a Mavic 3 and I'm using Maps Made Easy to stich the photos...

Hi All, I am in need of some technical help with the differences in accuracy between the ME3E and the ME3T. The ME3E is said to guarantee cm level accuracy with an RTK module while the ME3T Module does not. I am trying to understand what the difference in accuracy may be before purchasing. I...

Good morning everyone! I'm new to the forum but have been stopping by for a couple of months begore now signing up. I do photography mainly, nothing commercial when it comes to maps. I'm actually a total noob for mapping. On to the subject. DJI is not releasing the SDK for the consumer series...

I made a small app (for Android) to make Grids for Litchi. After you make the csv file (ENTER) you can email it to yourself and open it with MISSION HUB. I believe this is the final version. Please gnore the error when you open map for first time. It will not show again (its an initialization...

I just had a question about mapping and different uses i'm sure the answer is common sense however I wanted to be sure. Why would you use a single grid "Lawn Mower" style vs a Double Grid "Checkers board" style What does each provide that the other wouldn't? What is the pros and cons of...

Mapping with this Phantom 4 + V2.0 has me perplexed on what I can do. I knew the controller was android I supposed by watching all the videos before I purchased this disappointment of a Plus Controller. The Amazon site even has an app for all Phantoms except they do not support the plus. I have...

I had a Mavic Pro that ran Go4, and if I was going to an area without internet, I'd cache the map area before I left. Sold off the Pro and got the chance to get a mini, so did. No map caching I can see, no videos on it either. I plan on using a wi-fi only tablet with it, as well, my cell phone...

Hello everyone, I didnt know here to post this... Recently, they started building a new highway near home. This implicates deforesting and destroying the mountain but after the deforesting process they have discovered a very old graveyard. Near this graveyard is located one of the oldest...

I thought you all might be interested in this contest my company is putting on: We’re looking for DJI pilots to try building a 3D map at Hivemapper.com. All you need to do is fly around any area you want to map and upload your video. It can be anything from a quick orbit around your house to...

OK Guys, I think we are running into some of the same issues on the Smart Controller as we had with the CrystalSky. Has anyone found any viable mapping apps for the Smart Controller? With some initial tests I did verify that DroneDeploy doesn't work, even if the Android Version supported the M2P...

Use this thread to share your best vertical drone photos If you're like me, you got into drones for their mapping capabilities and for their ability to give 'a bird's eye view'.

Hi all! Is anyone on here using their mavic for agricultural purposes? I'm trying to find out what I need for commercial and private drainage mapping, as well as NDVI setups for biomass and yield predictions. I have the Mavic 2 Pro Thanks in advance!

Hi. I'm brand new to the drone world. I'm a forester and wildlife consultant that deals with lots of private landowners. Many of those landowners like to have updated aerial maps of their property as often as possible. Is there anyone out there that could give me an idea of where to start...
