    2 Pro Mother Coyote Entering Den

    While filming the field behind my house, I captured this mother coyote taking in some sun before diving into her den. Hoping to see the pups emerge in a few weeks.

    3D Mapping Workflow

    Wondering whether you have any more samples to share. Thanks!

    Export KML from internal storage to SD card

    Figured it out - go to Mission, press SELECT, chose a mission to export, then use forwarding arrow bottom right of screen.

    Export KML from internal storage to SD card

    Can someone provide instructions on how to export a KML file created on the smart controller in Pilot to the external SD card? Seems so simple, yet I haven't been able to figure this out. Thanks!

    3D Mapping Workflow

    Hey Guy, I'm actually doing the mapping directly on the smart controller. I did however, buy a standard mavic 2 controller in case I want to go back to using a tablet/phone. So far though, I have managed to do the mapping within Pilot - using reading glasses and a rubber-ended stylus! A bit...

    Mapping mission - setting altitude reference to ground

    Wondering whether you have any additional (easy) information re: elevation maps. I recently ran the same map twice and received completely different elevation values for the map. I'm not sure why this is the case and was wondering whether you've encountered similar issues, and if so, what the...

    Maps made easy

    Hey BigAl, when I download the GeoTIFF (TIF), or DEM GeoTiff (TIF) files, all I get is a black and white image (see attached). The Colorized DEM GeoTIFF (TIF) works fine. I've tried to open in photoshop elements, but it says it is unable to open HDR files (need CS2). Any thoughts on how to...

    3D Mapping Workflow

    Here are some samples of the output from my recent mapping tests. I focused on holes 1 and 2 of a local golf course. From left to right: 3D image, RGB map, Elevation Map, and finally, Plant Health map. For the first three, I used maps made easy. For the last one, I used DroneDeploy. I was...

    3D Mapping Workflow

    Was able to resolve the workflow questions. It's actually quite easy. I used "maps made easy" and simply followed the instructions - fly the route, upload the images, wait for processing. It took a few hours for processing but I received a 3D map, an Orthomosaic map (shows elevations) and a...

    3D Mapping Workflow

    Thanks good to be here. Lots if interesting stuff on this forum; should be able to learn a lot. Been flying drones for years, but only recently getting opportunities to do some 3D mapping. Hope to get some advice in that regard.

    3D Mapping Workflow

    Looking for some input from fellow mavic pilots on creating 3D maps of golf courses. I have a number of options to create the mission, collect the images, but not sure what's next. I'm aware of dronedeploy, pix4D, maps made easy, etc. but have questions about the the specific requirements to...
