Makes me glad that I live in Queensland! If we ever see snow then the next ice age is upon us. Neville Queensland Australia

I have a Garmin GLO2 Bluetooth GPS that could be attached to a UAV then the gps co-ords are available for any mapping application. I use OSMand+ for mapping on a 10in tablet. The Garmin GLO2 weighs about 60gm so that may be too much for your little UAV. Have at look at the GLO2 specs for the...

I had my local canvas worker make four with eyelets in each corner to peg them down. Had them numbered 1-4 . Cost about $180 Aust and that's about the same Canadian. Neville Queensland

Yesterday I saw that AgiSoft Metashape was available for Apple/Mac. Best software for stitching ortho-photo-images. Neville Queensland Australia

Turbine operation is controlled by a Cup Anenometer measuring the wind speed at the generator height. Usually shut down if the wind is constantly over 60kph.

I agree. Used Agisoft Metashape to stitch thousands of UAV images of irrigation channels for a research project. No mis-shapen objects just clean sharp ortho-photo-mosaic images. Perfect for your task , if flown in a grid pattern as above. Neville Australia

Uh huh. Today's TV news - 2 Chinese teenagers were sentenced, in front of thousands of teenager in an open air forum, to twelve years detention. Why...for watching a South Korean Boy Band in action. WTF?

I concur. Tried to get approval to use a Phantom 4 in Bihar State, India for a University Research Project and was accused of being a spy. Maybe I didn't pass enough Rupees in a brown paper bag, under the table! Neville Australia

Also, when using a MAC tablet out in the open during summer at 35+ Deg C the tablet would shut down until it was placed in an air-conditioned vehicle with loss of contact with the drone until re-booted. Would only work continuously in an a/c vehicle so VLOS was limited. Neville Queensland...

Works fine on a Linux Ubuntu 22.04 PC here is Brisbane! Great photography and we are so blessed to live here in Queensland where nobody cares less about being flown over by a UAV (Drone)!

Err...ummm I really would consider AGAINST flying in China. Why? An Australian journalist has just been released from 3 years in jail for releasing a government embargoed news article 5 minutes before the embargo was lifted. You really want to fly an UAV in that environment? I would not. Neville

Okey dokey. If you had mentioned that you were of Indian heritage I would have been more polite. But also this suggests that you understand how the Indian Government works and the above reference from G Fields the moderator, is very applicable. We wanted to fly an Australian University's...

Afternoon Geoff, Great imagery. I have been writing to the US Narrow Gauge Forum, about the AC16 in Brisbane and how it is still in use as a heritage train. Would it be possible to get your permission to use your footage in an article to the forum and also get the footage in .mov format as the...
