Hey guys, been a while.. been working on my boat.. heh.. go figure. Anyway, was going to take the boat out for the first time and get some "action shots" and then I had an idea...which you all already do I am sure... If I fly around my boat.. in the driveway atm.. heh.. and get a 3d "view" of...

Drone flying would be so much more fun if I had more people that flew drones around where I live heh. I have to go all the way to Austin or north Austin to hang out with drone pilots.....I live in the Cedar Creek / Bastrop, TX area. There needs to be a Bastrop convention and "infect" people...

I have used Dronedeploy a lot, just did not know it was not accurate enough. Gotta come up with a survey-able method. If I buy a Bad GPS device, will the DroneDeploy video show me how to use that to tie in the GPS coordinates etc, or am I, essentially, looking at what they mentioned (my work)...

Is there an easy way or maybe a video that describes the process to fix the gps points, etc? Not "fix" but how to use a mavic to get good mapping and a gps device to get it more accurate. None of the folks I am talking to have any hours flying drones, so they are not very good at explaining to...

I was talking to a state guy and he kept explaining to me that the GPS points needed to be more accurate. They use a Bad Elf gps device to do waypoints, but they have never flown a drone and I am not sure how/if you would be able to correlate the gps fixes. They were saying they would place a...

Okay, but does the "DJI Assistant" on the iphone work or do anything worth working for?

Yea, it looks to be an old defunct iphone/apple application with the same name. I have the dji app on my laptop, an old one... captcha does not work.. so cannot log in there, so have to wait till I get home. Runs well on the desktop. Plan to ditch the old crappy laptop and buy a cheap old...

So, what I am reading, and correct me if I am wrong, is the DJI Assistant app for the iphone does not work? I have tried wifi, bluetooth, etc.. cannot seem to get it to connect to the drone at all. Says searching and finds nothing. Anyone have any luck? I am debating just buying a cheap...

Oh no, I know the flight app will be free. I was curious if there was a way to stitch them for less.. heh Sorry, I do not use it much... if my realtor friend decided he wanted me to help more.. I'd make him pay for the service, otherwise.. it is still great for making the flights and taking all...

Sorry, was a busy day so reply is slow. I got an email with this: Important Updates to Your DroneDeploy Account Dear Rancher, Thank you for being a part of the DroneDeploy community! Drone operators, like you, have created tens of millions of acres of high-resolution maps and 3D models on...

Welp, just saw the DroneDeploy free version is going away soon... and since I do not do this for money... curious what, if anything, you all use as an alternative? I have fun with Dronedeploy, but I just do not see myself using it enough for $83 a month or $129 month to month.....I have a...

Wow.. I just added up. To replace my Pro and batteries etc.. would cost me $2,194.... no way. If I wanted a new drone, I would grab a regular ol Pro or a freakin Platinum and pocket the cash. R

lol.. did not know the Mavic Pro has 2x zoom :p Would be tough to choose.. but, imo, again.... having a Pro already... Hard "pill to swallow" to pay that much for a Pro 2 when the FoV is 70%, the zoom is 83%.. and the pro I have is going to be cheaper. If I wanted a drone, and was waiting...

I got it all working, thanks guys:)

Oh, not incorrect, so much as I originally thought it was a temperature reading.. lol.. freaked out a bit. Then I realized it was signal strength. Just curious if that is normal or if others experience flights with a signal strength error of like 184. I think it would be easier to understand if...
