@JoostGT3 I had not seen that! That's really neat! Beautiful video. There has been work for the last several years using infrared and high-resolution satellite imagery for buried archaeological sites, with great success (most famous right now is Sarah Parcack: here is her first TED talk, but...

Hey everyone! It’s been far too long since I’ve written anything on here. I generally pick people’s brains, but today I thought I’d share some of the work I’ve been doing with my drone this summer. This is a sizeable post, so thanks in advance if you read the whole thing! For some...

I'm going to write an entire post about this and more before the end of the night, but I will say this for the moment: climbed the MP up to just under 5260 masl (meters above sea level) yesterday. It was flying beautifully, except for the snow storm icing the arms and rotors. Works fine today...

Yeah. Why not? That's where I want mine to function. I work high in the mountains; tough to access, very thin air. MP is perfect for the trek in (light and fits in my field gear bag), but anything I can do to make it happier in the thin air would in turn make me much happier

@ccoltmanm No, they didn't. I don't have it set up to automatically sync. @MavicJohn85 I tried Photorec, but it just got me the deleted ones. I'm just going to chalk this one up to a loss. I'm heading out again this week to get some new photos and video, so while I'm sad to have lost those...

I'm doing some modeling in Peru right now with my MP; did a test flight at about 4200-4400m the other day. MP was having problems gaining altitude; I was only able to get about 100ft or so. Do you (or anybody else, if anyone is still watching this thread) have experience or advice about flying...

@Youser I'm definitely not filling up the memory card; I had less than 200 photos on a 128gb card. I don't think you can make photos that big haha @Thwyllo It definitely could have been sloppy fingers, but I'm not sure how. I'm going to check the settings once I'm done with work today and...

I tried photorec, per @Kilrah's suggestion; unfortunately it wasn't successful. I got plenty of deleted photos, but not the overwritten ones. (Excuse me while I go cry for little bit). Oh well. Asi es la vida. I'll work on changing those settings right now. Well, after I make more coffee...

I just downloaded the DJI Assistant 2, v1.2.4. It keeps telling me to plug in an Inspire 2. This is a problem, seeing as I have a MP. Any suggestions on this? (I quoted you to hopefully grab your attention since I've seen you everywhere here and you know your stuff, and I didn't want to...

I can guarantee that I did not format the memory card. I didn't do the full "Unmount from Phone" deal, but the phone was off when I extracted the Drone Memory card. More than that, I was just looking through the photos themselves again more closely. I lost an entire Pix4D project. In Pix4D...

Yeah, me neither. Well, bad news is still news. That sucks. I'm seriously about to cry. Those were the best pictures I have ever taken. They weren't terribly important thankfully, but still really cool. Not worth sending out for forensic retrieval; that sounds expensive lol I'm...

Hey Guys! Just got back from a fun trip and tried to pull some of my drone photos; best I've ever taken. But it seems they got overwritten.... any insight that anyone can offer? Here's what I did... Took the shots on Monday evening. Just gorgeous; canyon, petroglyphs, crew shots... So great...

That's great to know! I somewhat figured that last night as I was searching, so I ordered 2 new standard ones. Appreciate the insight from everyone, truly!

Thanks for the tips. I was just curious if the Platinum batteries had any improved flight time. Even a few extra minutes could be helpful, but if they have the same run-time as standard then there's no point.

I'll definitely stick with the DJI batteries then. Any input on the Standard vs Platinum?
