just to follow up and close out - i did purchase this, but not the same one. it fits fine on the M3E even though most are designed for the Mavic 3. And it fits with the RTK antenna on as well!

title says it all. PM me if you have something you are looking to sell.

this could be a winner! have to make sure it fits my M3E but for $35 ill take the chance. thank you!

I have a project coming up that requires me to take photos holding the drone, mainly for the high accuracy GPS that it applies to the photos. using the M3E, i'm trying to figure out how to to best do this - holding the drone while also holding the controller to frame the shot and trigger the...

thanks! Ill have to polish up on my python, but ill be sure to add some things to it

this is really cool, thank you.! and the fact you include the src code is so helpful - have you considered hosting this on github and turning it into an open source project?

This is really great news. I havent watehed your full video yet, so maybe you answered this question in there. But did you ever discuss parachute options with the FAA during this process? My use case is more construction mapping , roof and pavement inspection, etc. I would need to have this...

will do. I may just try it anyways and see what happens.. I dont know how all these jobs coming up in NYC are getting done. people must be flying illegally. and everyone wants their jobs done ASAP. this process is 30 days for new, 14 days if you have ever been granted permission before.

thanks, i forgot about these new rules... looks like i wont be flying anytime soon! and $150 to boot with no guarantee of being approved!

Hi all, I have a potential job in staten island and I am trying to figure out if I can actually fly there. I am outside of the LAANC approval areas so I know i am good there, But what I am wondering if I need to get city approvals for a 15 minute flight for photos and videos of an apartment...

can i ask how you came to those manual settings? Was it put the drone up and adjust settings until you liked the look? Or did you use the histogram? Or a combo of both? I just ask because I am more of a drone pilot than photographer and I like to learn how people are getting these great videos.

not looking good for Destin - red means no LAANC. and all 0ft restrictions there, so even using dronezone you most likely wont get approval. but you can always ask - use droenzone to put in for an altitude waiver. pensacola beach, panama zity, and perdidio are your next closest options and...

just watch out for the blue angels training.. they regularly make 100ft passes over pensacola beach when training.

even if you could fly the automated route, I'm thinking that only covers the ground and part of the walls. Im thinking doing the ceiling as well to create the enclosed space. in past mapping missions i've manually taken photos under overhangs and things like that to get good detail on say the...

I was thinking it might be a cool thing to be able to do a 3d map inside a building. Think like a large tennis dome, or indoor soccer fields, etc. It would be a great marketing tool if you could create a 3D model that you could be inside of, vs outside? just wondering if anyone has tried this...
