    V01.04.0100 who's going to be the first to try

    I updated mine today. Entire process took about 35 minutes. It got to 99% and timed out. Told me to unplug the usb connector and then reconnect. Tried that 3 times and same result. I restarted DJI Go app and it then completed the firmware update. My first fly was a bit weird. Video...

    Maps Made Easy KMZ Export

    I've noticed that when I load maps made easy KMZ into Google earth they are elevated a set distance above the surface of Google Earth. Id prefer them to overlay seamlessly but there is a weird offset that I can't seem to get rid of. Anyone else ha e this problem?

    Look at the roofline. The ugly edge is very noticeable. The individual photos donw have that weird edge

    Affordable photo stitching?

    I downloaded the geotiffs from my project and used them in ArcGIS. They work pretty well but I've noticed the the edges and margins of the maps are highly questionable. I see where these could really be much better by using ground control points. One problem I've noticed is that in all of my...

    Affordable photo stitching?

    Out of curiosity, anyone know the optimum height to fly for creating raster mosiacs with the mavic? I planned to run a few tests but was curious where I should start?

    Affordable photo stitching?

    Thanks for the replies so far. I was not aware that I could use drone deploy to at least run the mission and take the photos. That might be a good option. I read a little about Maps Made Easy last night. It looks like a viable option. I envision most of my datasets will be fairly small so...

    Affordable photo stitching?

    Im looking for an app that will allow me to draw a polygon on an aerial and then fly a grid pattern over that polygon taking systematic pictures. Im somewhat familiar with Drone Deploy and Pix4D but they are crazy expensive. I'd like to fly a 10 acre site and then have the photos automatically...
