    New M30T for solar thermal inspection not good

    I'd be interested in your thermocouple results. I'd suggest that you mount the thermocouple behind a surface of known emissivity so we can do the correction. We'd also need to know the stated accuracy of the thermocouple so we can do error propagation/analysis. I know there's other...

    New M30T for solar thermal inspection not good

    Has anyone actually made a measurement or are we believing what we're told from specs and Youtube? I've been watching the thermal space for years and my business plan / market area doesn't yet justify me making an investment in thermal drone but be assured that after taking the Thermography...

    Should you be required to show proof of TRUST certification when buying a Drone in the U.S.?

    First, thanks to the OP for asking the question. I'm a Part 107 commercial operator for the past 5 years and I had no idea what a TRUST certificate was. HAHA! Next, thanks to everyone that said "no" in the thread. I don't think you need a driver's license to buy a cart. I don't think you...

    Can't buy the Mini 3 Pro (yet...)

    I've followed the Mini 3 Pro with some interest but I can't buy one yet for a couple of reasons: I can't fly it with the RC Pro. Yep, that controller has spoiled me and I don't wanna go back it's really that good. I can maybe compromise on this one but begrudgingly. Lightweight prop guards...

    Parachute Recovery and Flight Termination System for the DJI Mavic 3

    As an update to this thread, ParaZero will have a Mavic 3 updated product "quite soon" along with updated pricing according to a rep I was in contact with. I'll post when I know more.

    Was Ready to Kick DJI to the Curb

    I live in the US and my perspective is that of a Part 107 pilot with a good number of hours in the air. Here's the issue. DJI has NFZ in areas that are uncontrolled or zones covered by LAANC. Their "Fly Safe" map is just plain wrong in so many areas in the US I can't and won't list them all...

    Editing DNG files with Affinity Photo from Mavic 3 Pro

    Thanks for the responses. Yes I can try to manually correct each image I import but I shoot a substantial number of images and that's just not a practical solution to the problem. The JPGs are perfect around the edges so I agree with your assessment that it's probably Affinity not handling the...

    Editing DNG files with Affinity Photo from Mavic 3 Pro

    I'm breaking in my Mavic 3 Pro for some commercial work and I typically shoot RAW + JPG to give myself editing options. I've been using Affinity for some time and I'm very happy with it but I'm seeing horrible vignetting in the very corner of the images. I've been trying to find a way to...

    The Telephoto....

    The question that keeps coming up in my mind is ... If they had the space to put in a M 4/3 sensor and a crap 12MP hybrid camera, why not just go to APS-C or full frame? I would have enjoyed a single higher quality single sensor in comparison to what we're getting today. That said, I have a...

    DJI Mavic 3 Launch Event And Order Status!

    So much for that 3-5 business days promise. If we're lucky and they really deliver it will be 10 business days. Well, at least DJI is consistent with the worst customer service in the industry. Did everyone else complain for their free credits and battery?

    DJI Mavic 3 Launch Event And Order Status!

    My Cine is there in Oakland as well. Very unimpressed with DJI AND FedEx.

    Where to sell Drone Pictures?

    I think the best advice I've ever heard about selling stock is to do it as a side income source. Let me explain. You book a job for a client and while you're there you see something interesting. Snap a few extra shots, light edit and upload. As others point out, this isn't a viable market...

    Mavic Pro 3...

    Complete speculation mode engaged. The M3P is going to be a flagship and feature rich drone that a smaller number of consumers are drawn to for it's premium features. We can all guess what they'll be but they really don't matter. What does is WHO is going to buy it and why. This isn't going...

    Mavic 3 - Will You Upgrade?

    This year I made the jump from DSLR to the mirrorless Z system. I went Z7II, the trinity of f/2.8 and the 105mm macro. BEST. CHOICE. EVER. Send me a message if you have questions. Happy to share my experience. I made that upgrade because I didn't see the next obvious high quality offering...

    Care to share the shop name? Do they have a spare?
