    Mavic 3E RTK Question?

    jaja6009, I've done some mapping with DD and a P4P on the side of my construction management job. I'm going into drone work full-time and looking at the M3E. What do I need to have or do to get the cm level accuracy that is being talked about? thanks, Doug

    Mavic 3E RTK Question?

    I have done some mapping with a P4Pv2.0 and am now considering the Mavic3E RTK to do construction and other mapping. Besides the drone, I assume I need a base station of some kind. Is there a resource I can go to to learn what equipment is needed and how to proceed?

    Almost crashed my Air 3 today

    I had a weird thing happen with my Mini4 Pro see Mini4 Pro Landing Failure. Not sure what happened but I crashed the drone. I had a lot of responses to my post and then I noticed this one. I was using the landing gear noted in this post and was flying with a low battery and in tight quarters...

    Mini4 Pro Landing Failure

    Reading Almost crashed my Air 3 today below, I realized that I had this type of landing gear on the Mini4 pro (and my minie3 pro and Air3). I can definitely see how this could interfere. I don't know if it had become folded up or not since I didn't get a look until after the crash. I think that...

    Mini4 Pro Landing Failure

    To clarify. I had initiated RTH and the AC returned as normal. I typically turn the camera down during this process and after it descends to +/- 75', I cancel RTH, confirm that it is on target, confirm the landing area is clear, and finish landing manually. This time it manually descended...

    Mini4 Pro Landing Failure

    Meta4, Thanks for the analysis. Regarding "as you descended it drone drifted to about 35 ft from the homepoint". I don't recall it drifting more than a foot or two through the entire descent and it was very close to the HP when it stopped responding. I panicked when it wouldn't land. It...

    Mini4 Pro Landing Failure

    While RTH with a low battery, I cancelled RTH at <100' so that I could land manually. The drone stopped a few feet off the ground and would not land. I was landing on a paved parking lot but the controller said something like "unsuitable landing area". The battery was running down and the drone...

    Backup drive for saving sd cards in the field

    I really only need the ability to transfer to another USB thumb drive and have no use for the wifi part, so this is looking good. It's so easy to lose, drop, overwrite a micro USB that I just want to back up along the way and this is looking like a good solution, It's kind of amazing that there...
