    Hard case recommendations

    Look into G.P.C. Go Professional Cases. I have two, one for the the P4P and one for the zoom. They are awesome.

    Flying in Army Corps of Engineers & Bureau of Reclamation recreation areas (in the US)

    Here are the rules and regulations from the COE. I carry copies of all the rules everywhere I go so I can explain to any on lookers. The COE does not regulate the airspace. I am from South Dakota and live on the Missouri River/Lake Oahe. I met with the COE at their offices and had about an...

    With FAA authorization to fly, then DJI requires "documentation" to unlock

    I have attached the text message to all of my DJI submittals, never a pdf. I take a screen shot and submit it. It has worked every time. I always go through LAANC first, then DJI GO.

    Anyone using M2Z with DroneDeploy???

    As far as accuracy, if you dont set GCPs your data would be ok, right? (For a small project)It may not be in the exact location but it would all be relative. Say for a stock pile. It may be 20ft off horizontal and 40ft vertical ,but the volume is still correct. I could see on larger projects...

    Ok, that clears up the camera confusion for me, thanks. I didn't realize Mavic1 and zoom had same camera. I may go out and fly today with the M2Z and P4PV2 and compare results. Thanks guys.

    Khurrum, did you have anything to check against? Did you have GCPs set on the ground?

    Anyone using M2Z with DroneDeploy???

    Ok, but doesn't it depend on focal length and all that business within the lens of the camera? If it is using the setting for the M2P with the 1" sensor, etc, and not the smaller zoom lens wouldn't that introduce error to the data immediately?
