    Camera Filter

    Th Thanks for posting that, Mr. Prior. It was an excellent explanation of how filters work and when to use them.

    Purchased Spektrum PPMA9500 remote ID anyone installed one on a Mavic 2 PRO

    I have a Mavic Pro that needs to have a RID ready module. I have later Mavics that are good to go, but would want to loan this earlier model to friends. What drew you to this purchase, and are you interested in selling it?

    OpenAthena™ for iOS v2.5 release: Instant geolocation from any drone image

    Where, or how, can I find which “iOS API” I’m using, the Swift PHPickerContrller or the UIImagePickerController? Is it on the iPad or the drone camera? In either case, how would I install the correct one and disable or uninstall the errant one? I might not be asking the question properly...

    Why is Congress interested in drones?

    Thanks, Meta4, I’ll take a look. I’ll add that I’d be a professional skeptic if there was any money in it. That final sentence you’ve quoted could describe just about every side in any controversy we have in our country, which would explain the circular firing squad we’re all surrounded by! K.D.

    Selling newsworthy video

    Thanks for the link to this article , Meta4. As I read this, though, it seems this was a decision clarifying that “end users of a video” could not be forced to stop using drone created videos to promote their businesses. It doesn’t mention that the drone video creator is also free of any...

    Why is Congress interested in drones?

    What is the source that says “Skydio is the main lobbyist for this”? I didn’t know that kind of information was easy to get.

    OpenAthena™ for iOS v2.5 release: Instant geolocation from any drone image

    Interesting, Bobby. I’m using an iPad with my controller and Mavic 2 Zooms. It is a ninth generation using iOS 17.1.3. Does the stripping of metadata you’ve observed happen consistently or randomly? My experience has been having some pictures with and some without. I haven’t been able to...

    OpenAthena™ for iOS v2.5 release: Instant geolocation from any drone image

    Interesting, Bobby. I’m using an iPad with my controller and Mavic 2 Zooms. It is a ninth generation iPad using iOS 17.3.1. Does the stripping you’ve observed occur all the time or just haphazardly? I have pictures that have retained the metadata and pictures that haven’t. It does seem to...

    Selling newsworthy video

    I’m perplexed, mavic3usa, You say the F.A.A. never went after anyone, but then you explain that when people, apparently jealous of some YouTube posters’ successes, complained to the F.A.A., the FA.A. investigated and the “targets were nice enough to respond and learn from the experience, it was...

    Selling newsworthy video

    I remember when the F.A.A. was going after non Part 107 licensed drone operators for posting videos on YouTube because content displayed there was awarding monetary remuneration for the number of visits these videos were earning. If that has changed I missed the waiving of that requirement.

    Selling newsworthy video

    In the United States drone use for “compensation” (be it cash, a plate of cookies, or just a pat on the back, if the F.A.A. sees that as a “value,” requires, by law, a Part 107 professional license. I would think that in any country, witnesses of a crime are expected to pass on any evidence of...

    OpenAthena™ for iOS v2.5 release: Instant geolocation from any drone image

    JPEG. I’m not sure DJIgo4 offers a DNG choice for the Mavic 2 Zoom. I’ll have to check. I have to believe that there is some setting that is stripping the Metadata from some of my photos.

    OpenAthena™ for iOS v2.5 release: Instant geolocation from any drone image

    There is a “missing efix data” on the photos that OpenAthena can’t utilize. I just can’t figure out why the data gets dropped. I move my photos from the DJIgo4 on my iPad to the photo folder on my iPad. I’m not taking them from the s.d. card, where I might imagine a more complete copy might...

    OpenAthena™ for iOS v2.5 release: Instant geolocation from any drone image

    Thanks for this information. I’ve bookmarked the GitHub site. There’s a lot of technical information that I don’t know how to read, but the meat of the site is very understandable. After using OpenAthena on all the pictures I have on both my iPads, I’ve found that over half, usually in groups...

    OpenAthena™ for iOS v2.5 release: Instant geolocation from any drone image

    I’ve spent some time exploring OpenAthena and much is fairly intuitive. However, I’m not very deep on technology, so I’m in the dark on “EXIF” and “metadata.” I have seen a question pop up about having “exif,” but there’s no way to answer it or look for an explanation. While most of the...
