    DJI Mavic 3 Launch Event And Order Status!

    Congrats!! That’s great news! Hope you get it and be in the air asap!! You are one of the few lucky ones it seems. I thought I read from the DJI forum that ordering over 2 batteries can cause a shipping delay but am unsure if I’m remembering correctly.

    DJI Mavic 3 Launch Event And Order Status!

    The total was $4267 without DJI refresh. I’ve had the Mavic pro and then the M2 but never had a SC so I thought I’d try it out. I still wanted the standard remote because I am unsure of the ability to run 3rd part apps like Drone Deploy, Pix4D, etc. I am going to compare some hull coverage...

    DJI Mavic 3 Launch Event And Order Status!

    I ordered the fly more combo kit and the SC right when the live event was wrapping up Thursday evening. DJI store indicates a shipped status but when tracking FedEx, the label has just been created with no estimated pending arrival date. I’m expecting to hopefully receive it by the end of next...

    Advice for Survey Grade Mapping

    Posting an update here. Currently using a trial of Pix4d and flew a very small 2 acre plot for the purposes of generating contours. I have successfully created (exported) a DXF file of the contours but that's about it. I have the ortho map as well but I think there are a lot of limitations...

    Advice for Survey Grade Mapping

    Thanks for the advice! I am excited about the possibility of using drone data for non-critical features. I am going to look into Metashape and DJIPilot app. This seems more cost effective than paying monthly fees for processing. My company has done surveying and real estate valuations for our...

    Advice for Survey Grade Mapping

    Thanks to all for the advice! The company is taking this slow. I am studying for my Part 107 and hope to test in a couple of weeks. I flew 3D helis and fixed wing r/c craft for years and am breaking into the drone world. I'd like to set out some control points at my house and run a small test...

    Advice for Survey Grade Mapping

    Hi. I have been researching different software for the creation of topographical maps (2D, contour) based on 2 foot intervals. I plan to use my Topcon Hiper SR or Hiper V system to set out control points on the site prior to flying. These coordinates will be on the state plane coordinate system...
