    I Made a Free Tool To Do Automated 3d Mapping and Photogrammetry On The Mavic 3/Air 3/Mini 4 Pro Without SDK

    So kind of everyone to help me out. Let me clarify my erroneous question: is the RC Pro usable with the OP’s process? Obviously it’s too late to edit my post. I can take a facepalm folks, but I’m usually busy and drop in here and there to check on ways the Mavic 3 might eventually be more...

    I Made a Free Tool To Do Automated 3d Mapping and Photogrammetry On The Mavic 3/Air 3/Mini 4 Pro Without SDK

    Hmm, when I click through the OP’s linked page, they give directions for specific controllers, none of which are the RC Pro. I clearly see what drones are compatible, there was no confusion about that, otherwise I wouldn’t be commenting here. Is there a software limitation specific to the RC...

    I Made a Free Tool To Do Automated 3d Mapping and Photogrammetry On The Mavic 3/Air 3/Mini 4 Pro Without SDK

    I'm asking about compatibility with the RC Pro. I don't want to work around by using the RC-N1 if I don't have to.

    I Made a Free Tool To Do Automated 3d Mapping and Photogrammetry On The Mavic 3/Air 3/Mini 4 Pro Without SDK

    Awesome work man. I'm just starting to dive in, but question: can the RC Pro be used with a Mavic 3?

    Is the RC Pro really worth $1000?

    It’s worth it for me. My ipad overheats easily in AZ and just before that it dims out and I can’t see anything in sunlight. Set up time is a straight through affair. The screen size is better than any phone. Never had any delay in touch, and I’m a long time Android/Apple user, there’s no...

    Surveyed GCP data

    The way I understand it, MME touts this feature as a way to use GCPs after a map has been processed, almost like rubber sheeting the ortho. GCPs would still need to be surveyed to be an improvement. The 'GCP' would need to be some immovable target also found on the initial map ('tree stump').

    Drone Harmony Airplane Mode

    Welcome! First of all, have you reached out to DH? They have always addressed my questions quickly and answered thoroughly. Second, it may depend on your drone. I like DH because I can upload my own DTMs for terrain mapping in areas with little to no wireless internet connection—but it’s for a...

    software that runs on Mac for processing map mission photos into 3D model?

    I use Open Drone Map on Mac, as well as Pix4DMatic. Pix4DMapper is only for Windows, but Matic is better IME. ODM has some limits as well on project size, and has a bit of learning curve. I use Matic for work, it can handle over 2000 photos but the perpetual license is not cheap. ODM has an...

    Backpacking with M3...

    I noted your post, and agree with using a smaller drone. On the other hand I also noted OP was already invested in the pack and drone, and the size and type of pack was informative to the kind of trip being planned. I get it, there are different types of backpacking, with different needs. I have...

    Backpacking with M3...

    OP provided the pack he purchased, and it looks awesome (Aircontact Pro 60+15). Definitely meant for major backpacking excursions or even a through-hike. I'd put the basics for a flight in the 'brain' on top, and chargers etc. in other parts of the pack. If planning on using it often, I won't...

    Mavic 3 and Classic

    I'm miffed about buying a M3 1 year ago on the premise it would have a mechanical shutter. I'm miffed the controller being a limited RC-N1. I'm miffed about DJI saying I'll get store credit for buying RC Pro. I'm miffed there was promise of an SDK later this year that didn't come to pass. See...

    Air 2s + Smart Controller with Dronelink /DroneDeploy

    Not necessarily. I use both Android and Apple for DroneDeploy and Map Pilot Pro for the past 4 years, I've never had issues with mapping flights. The main problem seems to be the version of Android. I kept my old Galaxy S8 as a dedicated flight controller, so there's that to consider.

    Backpacking with M3...

    I guess what I mean is that I use soft shell cases to hike with my M3. To be clear, the case I linked will hold the M3, as I own and use it just for that. I have another similar case from Amazon (Sunnylife) for my M2P setup. The Moment case holds the folded M3 and either two extra batteries or...

    Backpacking with M3...

    I use modular cases. Backpack geometry (i.e. long distance comfort) is personal and more important, and the reason why packs made for drones suck. For backpacking with the M3 I use these: Moment Drone Carrying Case I have the smaller case for my RC Pro. Between these two cases, I can bring 3...

    Mavic 3 for mapping

    DJI said there will be no SDK for the 'base' M3 this year. This means no 3rd party apps. No efficient way to fly any mapping job bigger than, lets say, 50 photos. I'm not holding on and waiting, personally, as the mechanical shutter is essential for a proper mapping drone. RTK integration is...
