    Easy Gimbal Swap! (Simple!)

    I'd be very interested to hear the results of your experiments!

    EXIF/XMP Heading information

    Thanks :)

    EXIF/XMP Heading information

    Thanks, for anyone coming to this thread later it seems to be encoded in +- degrees to North with -90 being West and +90 East. Sar, are the gimbal and flight pitches additive or absolute to "level"?

    EXIF/XMP Heading information

    I've written some scripts to process timelapse photos I'm taking into a video, but I've noticed that some of the images aren't facing the right way. I can't see where camera heading is encoded into the EXIF or XMP portions of the jpg/dng file - does anyone have any experience with this? I've...

    Drone vs manned helicopter, UK rules?

    Fair enough. Would have been no avoiding it then, had maybe 5 seconds between first sight and when they were overhead, 3 more and it was gone. In 5 seconds i could have descended 5m, which wouldn't have made a difference.

    Drone vs manned helicopter, UK rules?

    Immediately after a short VLOS flight this week a police helicopter thundered overhead moving very fast and appeared to be quite low. I'd heard the rotors before, but couldn't have guessed where it was coming from or how far away it was because it was quite echoey and muffled. I'm pretty sure...

    Photos between waypoints? Litchi or other

    That's the plan! Thanks. I'd not come across the 1mph suggestion before, so was going to experiment, but I'll use this as the starting point.

    Photos between waypoints? Litchi or other

    Thanks, didn't know that was an option, but I've found it now

    3D drone Model - DroneDeploy v Autopilot

    Once Drone deploy has done it's automatic flight, you can take manual photos from any angle and add them to your upload either initially or later and have your model rebuilt. This was a great tutorial that showed this:

    Photos between waypoints? Litchi or other

    This might be an odd question, but is there a way to plan a waypoint mission in Litchi (preferably) or any other app, where the drone would take a photo every 2s between two waypoints? For context, I'm experimenting with time-lapses, and while I can make a 99-point mission for smaller projects...

    Obstacle avoidance warning without obstacle

    I had an obstacle warning yesterday from a flock of aggressive birds... That then followed me upwards 100m!

    Active track mode angle?

    Hi everyone, long time lurker first time poster. I'm hoping to use the active tracking for the first time tomorrow, and looking at the manual it suggests that I can use profile mode to fix the drone off to a particular angle, move a bit and if I want to change the view of me then I use the...
