    Calling nice Mavic Mini owners !

    Yeah it seems mad that I couldn't find one immediately, let alone after a protracted search ! But you guys to the rescue, which, with hindsight is where I should have come in the first place... We're not planning to print it so far - it's more of a Subdivision surface exercise, so we're trying...

    Calling nice Mavic Mini owners !

    You know how in Skype when you want a new line you do ctrl + enter ? ;) guess who did that in the wrong place

    Calling nice Mavic Mini owners !

    Hey you guys I have a small favour to ask, if you would be so kind as to indulge me ? A friend and I are doing a 3D model of a Mavic mini as a little personal project, and I have been searching the internets high and low for decent side view of the MM with its arms open. Alas I am failing so...

    Panorama Photos Stitched Badly with no Wind?

    For me, PTGui and Hugin are the best, and fairly similar in power, except the latter is free, and has a few of its own weird little foibles. MS ICE is the fastest, but lacks editing ability and often gets the stitching wrong. Anything else I have tried is inferior to those first 2...

    Panorama Photos Stitched Badly with no Wind?

    I think every frame has enough detail in it, and you would be most welcome to try ! Here's the link. Thank you. Note: this Pano was shot on a Yuneec Typhoon H, so you might need to know the FoV, which is 115 degrees.

    Panorama Photos Stitched Badly with no Wind?

    I'm quite good in PS but I can't persuade Photomerge (I presume that's what you're using ?) to do it on its own. As you say, that aligns that bits that don't change, but remains as confused as anything else about the bits that do. Very keen to learn what I might be doing wrong. If I zip and...

    Panorama Photos Stitched Badly with no Wind?

    As far as I know, @Meta4 is right, and you can't expect any panorama to work when primary stuff changes throughout the photos, so anything involving the ocean won't auto stitch properly in any application because the ocean was different in every frame taken, so the control points are looking for...

    PFCO Track....

    If you are flying recreationally, and the buildings you refer to are in built-up areas like towns or cities you have to maintain a minimum distance of 150 meters from such areas, and it would be illegal to overfly any people or structures not under your control (the general public and any...

    Christmas flying and current events

    I haven't been flying while this has been going, but it's been weather that has kept me out of the skies rather than any intense levels of public hatred :) We might feel a little uncomfortable setting up in the more public places where we fly for a while, but we have to get over that, keep...

    Geofencing

    Yes. Geofencing includes the manual limits you can set and the no fly zones built in to the system.

    UK and EU Fly rules for recreation fly, time to sell or buy a drone?

    Yes the rules are getting ever more restrictive, but for me that means 'do more flying now, while you still can'. So I'm not selling up just yet. I haven't heard about the European £1000 thing, which sounds horrendous if it is true, but if you are in the UK things are not so terrible yet. That...

    Places to Fly Map UK

    I love the idea of it, and your effort in making it is much appreciated, but like @Tazbone above, I worry that these are people's best guesses as to whether we are allowed to fly. For example, Porchester Castle is listed, yet flying there is absolutely banned - English Heritage found my video...

    Battery Removal ?

    Correct. Always remove the battery after flight so it doesn't discharge to unsafe level, or in the rare event that it catches fire it doesn't also take your craft with it !

    Close Call with Bird Attacks---

    You can add a skin to change its colour to something bright that birds don't expect to see in the air - orange or red for the UK - not sure what works best elsewhere. Or you can get those 'evil eyes' stickers that are much more effective in dissuading an attack but do make your craft look...
