I do not own a DRTK and did not buy one due to the Emlid units offering better everything. The Emlid's GNSS chip is a better unit. Emlid has free point collection and PPK software. Emlid offers free Caster service where you can buy two Emlid units, setup one on a known point (NGS monument or...

Yes, if you just use the DRTK to obtain its coordinates while not receiving corrections or being placed on a known point, your absolute accuracy will be bad. It could be inaccurate as measured in meters. Your relative accuracy will still be very good. Relative accuracy or accuracy of scale means...

The seagull picture is amazing! And I hate seagulls!!!

Thanks for sharing. I did a home build using the X500 kit and PX4 and the output was a simple touse drone with a zoom camera, integrated drop device and decent flying characteristics to include autonomous missions. But as far as plug and play and ease of use, my job's M300 RTK is the way to go...

My answers are from 3 viewpoints. One as a First Responder who runs a Fire Department and Beach Patrol drone fleet. Two as a drone services small business Three as a hobbyist. 1: How do you feel the ban would affect emergency services (such as wildfire fighting and fire fighting) overall? ALL...

You will need to receive corrections from: 1. DRTK 1 or 2, Emlid GNSS Receiver - both on a known point. (Your accuracy will be as accurate as your known point. An NGS monument or surveyed point can also work well. 2. A corrections service such as Trimble, or similar. 3. An understanding of...

I inquired with DJI and got this response. "Dear Customer, I trust this message finds you well. We'd like to inform you that the update prompt you've been receiving does not affect the performance or operations of the aircraft. Please feel free to disregard the notification. Rest assured, we...

You seem to have a strong grasp on thermography, but here are my comments. There may also be a problem with your camera, but here is my take on some of your issues. When reading your face, the most reliable place to get a temperature is the tear duct. To do this you would have to have the...

I am having the same exact problem. Have you been able to update? I tried using DJI Assistant 2 and it has no option to update the Precise Fly Database. The Smart Controller does update to 01.00.01.33. When the Smart Controller attempts to upload this to the aircraft it fails with the error...

I purchased a Holy Stone Remote ID module and mounted it on my Mavic 2 Enterprise (Zoom) with an Aerial Pixel mount. Aerial Pixel also has a mount for your Mavic Mini and it mounts on top of the battery. I feel the mount is well made for my M2E, so the quality should be similar for your Mavic...

I don't have the drone right now as it is at DJI for Basic Maintenance. The settings are in the camera settings somewhere. You can choose whether to save RGB, Thermal and Current View. You may not have the correct firmware for choosing what file types to save. You may have to update your...

The aircraft in question for the altitude problem was my Mavic 2 Enterprise (Zoom). It was the aircraft replaced and it is either a new aircraft or a flawless refurbished unit. I have not tested it yet as I am waiting for my FAA registration stickers to arrive and I also have to install and...

Wow what a great shot of 35s and 16s.

I am not sure about ODM, but with Metashape you could just use a terrestrial camera for inside, process it as a separate chunk and then combine with the exterior chunk with manual tie points. It is indoors so you will most likely not have GPS for the terrestrial camera or the drone. I just...

Way too many deficiencies on this bird to even consider it. It is priced at M30T pricing but cannot even match up well with the Mavic 3 Thermal. Steel City Drones must have had an agreement with FLIR to put on gloves in its review since they did not directly compare it with other 640 thermal...
