    Love my Air 3, but man, this Mini 4 Pro...

    Really nice videography, sir! I could tell you were flying manually and, for the most part, everything looked smooth and well framed (from my point of view). My compliments! I did see you were flying in some wind - the flags were waving and you could see it in some of the trees. Still it...

    Threatened with Jail for Drone Mapping, North Carolina

    That's not true if you're using SBAS located GCPs and/or RTK/PPK location data. Dylan Gorman documents a drone survey job in North Carolina where he was "working with" a survey company. I'm not sure what all that entails, but it seems like a better model that going to court and suing each other.

    Threatened with Jail for Drone Mapping, North Carolina

    From this article - Drone Mapping and Unlicensed Land Surveying Lawsuit "As Michael would learn, the Board has said that drawing lines on images of land to approximate property lines is the practice of land surveying." Redfin uses pictures like this in a lot of their ads. I wonder if the...

    Filming in National Parks is Banned for YouTubers

    It's easy to remove video metadata (sometimes called telemetry), so that's not much of a problem. Here I'd think that "posting" and "private" are pretty much mutually exclusive concepts.

    Filming in National Parks is Banned for YouTubers

    Depending on what you filmed, it could be very easy. I think you mean MISB since that's the current mechanism for incorporating KLV formatted location data into video. And I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have to say it was you who filmed it. More likely you'd need to refute the evidence they...

    Filming in National Parks is Banned for YouTubers

    Update on this topic from Jeven with consultation from an Online Creator Lawyer. Turns out Jeven was (maybe inadvertently) right in the first place about 28%. This is pretty crappy IMHO. And it seems "commercial" filming means anything that has the *potential* to make money for someone...

    "No motorized vehicles" ordinances

    And it's being extended to ebikes, one wheels, and escooters, depending on the locale.

    Collecting field data - archaeological investigations

    I think you can do what you want using ArcPro FMV. I'm pretty sure the videos from your units aren't MISB (I know mine from my Mavic Air 2 aren't), so you'll have to do the video multiplexing (georeferencing) before getting into FMV. ESRI's page describing the process is Introduction to Full...

    Filming in National Parks is Banned for YouTubers

    <drift> Vic, I'm not picking on you but I hate google. It gives the illusion of enlightenment when it actually just presents the intersection of one's search words and Alphabet's idea of what you should see. IMHO, using google to "do research" on complex topics can be very misleading. Unless...
