thanks msinger, the update info is good to know, I had a reply from PrecisionHawk that its okay to bypass the error message and fly. Pissing with rain here at the moment. When the weather clears, I will try PrecisionMapper on a small field.

I have been using the MavicPro for drone mapping and am keen to share the story and get a discussion going about drone mapping. I have used DroneDeploy to control the drone and its works so well. Fell free to chip in about projects, case studies done, I would like to see other mapping work. I...

Thanks 4wd, when the mavic does a firmware upgrade, I asseme the controller and battery in at the moment have a firmware upgrade as well ?

thanks, I will try that on a short, low, slow run

good to know :)

I am using PrecissionMapper with the mavicpro on my Ipad, (for drone mapping) A warning comes up saying the drone's firmware has to be updated to 1.3.5 using Inflight (??). ... the current controller version is 01.03.0500. I did a firmware upgrade via the ipad and all was good. but...

Hi Mark, So you take off using DJI Go app, get the MavicPro to the desired height, focus, while still flying exit DJI Go app and run Drone Deploy? I am just interested if this is your approach? Thanks

Aerial panorama photography on the Gold Coast, Australia - DJI MavicPro

Hi TexInPa, welcome to the discussion, its great to have you contributing. To answer your question on mission flight times, I have read that 10-2 is the best time to minimize shadows (but then more chance of wind). I have not used Maps made Easy yet, any thoughts on how well it performs. I might...

Thanks for the feedback, Aerial Perceptions, you can toggle the DroneDeploy to have the camera shoot either manual or automatic. My first run had the setting on auto and all my images where overexposed. I am not sure if the setting has always been available

I wrote a blog post about this on my website and the images I took are available to download and use in your photogrammetry software of choice. MavicPro Drone Mapping | Brisbane quarry | DroneDeploy | Pix4D | Point cloud | Orthomosaic |DEM | 3D model

I just finished a write up for my blog how I use the MavicPro fro drone mapping a quarry in Brisbane, Australia. http://www.droneace.com.au/project/mavicpro-drone-mapping/ The images I used are available at the end of the blog post. Any feedback welcome. cheers

TLT, what photogrammetry software do you advise to use and why not the cloud, too much time to upload?

Hey TLT.. thanks for adding in, it would be great to get help from you. Photogrammetry is an amazing field for me that I want to move into and learn more about. I did not know that you could be certified in photogrammetry. Is that a States (USA) based thing. Apart from all the new terminology...
