I have always wanted/needed a good solution for having a portable, sunlight viewable monitor with its own power. I found this SEETEC solution that checked all of my boxes...

New Jersey actually proposed a law stating just that. It was not passed. I have no idea whether your proposed bill would pass or get fought because I do not have any information on the number of agencies (If any) want to conduct mass surveillance. I can only speak for the DFR program I...

These police programs are referred to as DFR, (Drone as a First Responder). There are now well into the double digits of public safety organizations doing this. In my city, we are looking at starting an entry level DFR. A well written ConOps (Concept of Operations) with a Blanket COA can allow...

You can process in any photogrammetry solution that can use oblique images. Most do, I can confirm 100% on Pix4Dmapper, Pix4Dmatic and Agisoft Metashape. How do you like Smart Oblique compared to a more traditional double grid with oblique images? I found that Smart Oblique took quite a bit...

On the sister commercial dronepilots forum there is a current discussion on how an appeal ruling in a drone mapping case played out. The thread contains some of your valid points in it. There is a constant circle of people entering drone mapping that are selling products for the wrong use, that...

My remarks were for the OP not having the correct equipment to do things "right". It was a solution for as stated "ballpark" GCPs. You are correct in that GSD and location are not the same, not sure where I mispoke. My point was with the Eagleview Pictomerty being around 1 foot GSD the control...

The new H30T looks super impressive. 1280×1024 thermal sensor gives you "Hi Def" thermal imaging. Infrared spotlight type sensor and even more optical zoom. I hope the Mavic 4T gets the thermal resolution increase.

Here is an interesting article on Remote ID and a report card on some of the manufacturer's implementations. https://www.skysafe.io/blog/drone-manufacturers-fail-faa-remote-id-requirements

Everyone's experience will vary. For failures, usually only those experienceing them will post about it. I don't post out of the blue that my drone did not crash today. I have owned 4 DJI drones and my real job has owned 5. Out of all of them only 1 expereinced a crash that was not pilot...

I have a Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced using DJI Pilot, but your Mavic 2 Pro may be similar. I am not too familiar with DJI Go. On the preflight check screen, scroll to the bottom. On mine it will show that RID is on and working.

Do you need the new serial number? Is it the Flight Controller serial number in the About section? Starting with 1581?

I do not own a DRTK and did not buy one due to the Emlid units offering better everything. The Emlid's GNSS chip is a better unit. Emlid has free point collection and PPK software. Emlid offers free Caster service where you can buy two Emlid units, setup one on a known point (NGS monument or...

Yes, if you just use the DRTK to obtain its coordinates while not receiving corrections or being placed on a known point, your absolute accuracy will be bad. It could be inaccurate as measured in meters. Your relative accuracy will still be very good. Relative accuracy or accuracy of scale means...

The seagull picture is amazing! And I hate seagulls!!!

Thanks for sharing. I did a home build using the X500 kit and PX4 and the output was a simple touse drone with a zoom camera, integrated drop device and decent flying characteristics to include autonomous missions. But as far as plug and play and ease of use, my job's M300 RTK is the way to go...
