    Discovering old 'earth works' with drones (stemming from the recent news about the fresh search for the remains of Keith Bennet, UK related.)

    I used to fly drones for a UK Gov agency, we often used LiDAR for all kinds of things, both drone and ground base. Police forces from all over the country often asked us to help out with exactly this kind of scenario. Most of them have their own UAV teams now, so I imagine they do this in house.

    Mini 2 fly more bag, anyone use it, or bought a more compact one?

    No SDK for the Mini 3 Pro in the near future

    I'm not too bothered. What would we really gain that the Mini3 doesn't already do? Waypoints? I prefer to be in control myself.

    Going to Scotland

    As above. Regulations are weight dependent. Also, keep in mind a lot of the castles and stately homes are privately owned and lived in, not tourist attractions. Lastly, a lot of military training flights make a lot of no fly zones. There’s still a lot of places to fly though and fun to be had...

    Does the Mavic 3 sink or float?

    The depth affects pressure, the greater the pressure the slower the descent, as the descent slows the current will have a greater affect on lateral travel. At least, that's what I was taught whilst laying out lobster and crab traps on my uncles trawler in the North Sea on many tortuous summer...

    With revised drone laws coming into force 1st Jan 2023 is it worth buying a drone over 250g now?

    The FAA don't enforce any laws outside of the US. This thread is about UK laws. Also, the software isn't relevant - it relates to the weight of the equipment and where/how/when you can fly it in relation to people and buildings.

    UK folks

    Curious to know why it matters if people are Christian or not? Surely we can all pay our respects regardless? The Queen represented all peoples of our nation and the commonwealth.
