I haven't looked into it yet but apparently you can get a high capacity battery charger to charge your batteries when you are out in the field, so just means you can recharge them without having to go home

Thanks for your replies guys. I was talking to a professional today and I think I will purchase a power bank to give me more fly time. I think this is the best option cost wise! Soon as the mavic 3 is out I might consider that. Thanks again

Hi, I have the mavic air and I love it, but I want to upgrade to start doing some aerial habitat survey work. I had initially thought to get the Pro 1 used, main reason being improved connectivity but also better battery life (the Pro 2 doesnt seem that much better to warrant the extra cash)...

Just thought I'd report back for posterity... Finally settled on the air and it works a treat for what I was planning. Turns out you can get at the exact coordinates but they are buried in the exif data, once you can access this its possible to georeference the images using some calculations...

That's a shame, seems like a weird thing to do, you'd think the air would have simply copied the same GPS tech as the pro. That's a deal-breaker for me, thanks for letting me know

Thanks for the reply. Does the air need to support waypoints in order to allow 3rd party apps like lichi to dictate programmed flights?

Sorry for the delay. Thanks very much for the input guys, much appreciated! I'm gonna get the Mavic Air and test that a bit, I may well invest in bigger model if I need to. Yes, for the record I was going to use the exif data and write a little program to georeference the images, crop them...

Hi folks, I'm looking to invest in a drone to undertake aerial surveying and I'd love to hear any advice you might have. I'm thinking along the lines of pre-programming the drone to fly to a set GPS points at set elevations above the ground, and taking still images at each point, then...
