The DRONES MADE EASY app, I believe its called MAP PILOT has terrain follow capability. I have not used. I believe it costs extra. I assume you are looking to create ortho and DSM and/or contours? Ground control?

Thanks Richard R., that is exactly what I needed! I have not been too happy with the default auto settings so I'm working on going Manual. Appreciate the response and the chart. Do you shoot in D-LOG or CUSTOM? I've seen a lot of advice on going custom with -2, -3, -2. I'd rather not do too...

I intend to use following settings on the P3A: ISO 100 WB: manual, as applicable COLOR: D-LOG FPS: 60 SHUTTER: 1/125 Say it's a sunny day and I'm overexposed so I put a ND16 filter on. How do I check for proper exposure? Is it simply by looking at histogram or by turning on overexposure...

Figured it out. I neglected to take into account the larger image size (20mp vs. 12mp) The new comparison table is attached.

This is the way I understand it. The Phantom 3 Advanced has a 1/2.3" CMOS sensor that measures 6.3mm x 4.72mm. The REAL focal length = 3.64 mm and the 35mm equiv = 20mm. Phantom 4 Pro has a 20mp camera with 1" CMOS sensor that measures 13.20mm x 8.80mm. The REAL focal length = 9.16mm while...

RPIC like their acronyms!

I'm near Milford if you still need some help.

I am FAA cert for commercial operations. To me, keeping the firmware up-to-date is the right choice from a professional standpoint. I just updated to 1.9.6 last night after a scary DISCONNECT at 3,600' feet with no RTH working. Somehow lucked it back home.

I did hold the controller RTH down for a couple seconds, but admiittedly I've only used that button a few times. I plan to get out in an open area and test the RTH features to get fully confident. Will turn off TX, restart app, run through all the scenarios that I can foresee. I uploaded the...

Rural setting, edge of a large lake. Bird was 3,000' feet out, flying over the headwaters of the lake and I was turning it back towards home. Screen goes blank, says DISCONNECTED. No imagery, Nothing. Now it was a clear sight to the bird at 350' altitude in this flat area, so signal...

Hmmm, must have something to do with internet streaming. When I force 720p for playback on YouTube, the stuttering is not there.

I have several videos that I recorded at 60fps @ 1080p resolution, MOV format. Looks great when I play on PC, full screen, HD. After uploading to YouTube, the videos are shakey, stuttering. They are unwatchable due to stuttering. Anyone have any ideas what is causing this issue? Here is an...

I bought my P3A for photogrammetry type applications (I'm a surveyor). So far I've only tried DroneDeploy. It is incredibly easy and the results have been nice, so I haven't tried the others out yet.
