    .kml/.kmz file upload

    Try changing the angle of the flight runs & you may get the starting point to be where you want it.

    .kml/.kmz file upload

    The only way I have found is to create a random .km* file in Google Earth browser (i.e. not "Pro", program). Then open this in Notepad++, & copy in the latitude, longitude, & elevations on the vertices in the format you see in the random file. I suspect this doesn't even assure a failsafe...

    .kml/.kmz file upload

    Hi, Has anyone found a way to do this for an area mapping mission? It's not working with the Mavic 3 Multispectral with current firmware. Cheers.

    Is all this battery charge level stuff just OCD hobbyists?

    There’s a lot of obsession on the need to manage the drone batteries in a particular way - though nothing on the controller battery. I can only assume the chemistry & relevant characteristics are the same, so should be managed the same for storage.

    Display data on recorded video?

    Hi there, I fly a Mavic Pro & would like to display flight & camera data on the video that is recorded to the micro SD card. Dashware comes close, though I don't believe it displays camera parameters (ISO, shutter, etc.). I'm interested in camera parameters for the flights in low light when I...

    Agricultural mapping app

    Thankyou for the lead. I've downloaded the .xapk, though unlike .apk, won't be installed by clicking on the file & choosing Install. Any ideas on how to install it?

    Agricultural mapping app

    Hi there, I am a usual user of a Mavic Pro though I have been asked to get someones Phantom 4 Pro 2.0 Plus going for agricultural mapping. The inbuilt monitor is Crytal Sky, & not allowing installation of common flight control apps that I am familiar with. I believe there is a workaround, as...

    Besides waypoints, Litchi vs. DJI Go?

    If U have Litchi on one operating system & want to change to another, you can buy on the other app site & get a refund from the developer. Check with what proof they require. I mean like a long term change and not say swap between operating systems from flight to flight.

    Photogrammetry

    I set up the area to be captured on desktop via the www site for DD (I think in PH the area has to be set up in the app - i.e. no desktop option). In the former if going to be outside data coverage range, load up the area to the app before going out. I leave most settings as default - though set...

    Photogrammetry

    Maybe Drone Deploy - I fly both at 120 metres / 400 feet & the pixel size seems to be fixed for both apps - both sub 5cm / 2 inches which is plenty fine enough for my purposes - however DD pixels are slightly larger than in PH - with the subsequent ramifications on memory required. I haven’t...

    Flashlight mount

    Looks good, though I'm hoping for one that takes the larger 1" diameter flashlights - of which I have many already. Though low on power, the above mount is the only one I've seen that allows angle adjustment.

    Flashlight mount

    I'm looking for something to mount a 1" diameter flashlight to a Mavic - ideally something low-profile & allowing tilting up or down. Any leads?
