    Land surveying - takeoff at an angle

    I couldn't agree more. I'm hoping to meet other pilots who fly for surveying companies, where we could discuss our different strategies and techniques. I'm not looking to take advantage of others, but if we can learn as a collective, it would benefit all of us.

    Land surveying - takeoff at an angle

    The driveway I took off from has a mesh reinforcement. The rebar is not the issue here.

    Land surveying - takeoff at an angle

    Good point! I park away from my lift-off point, but often forget about rebar. I wonder if that's what affected the accuracy.

    Land surveying - takeoff at an angle

    Over the weekend, I ran a test where I tookoff from a driveway that had a slight angle to it. When I plugged the data into the app and it stitched the mission together, the end result was a very inaccurate analysis. The map resolution was .3 in/pixel, the Approx Horizontal Relative Accuracy...

    What is the best tablet to use for the P4 pro v2?

    The iPad pro is a great tool as the screen gets brighter than other iPads. That is if you don't mind Apple. It's expensive, but worth it in my opinion. Especially if you're going to be professional.

    Controller vs Groundstation Pro

    Sounds like an extensive mission. How many flight batteries are you estimating to use?

    P4 pro v.2

    I flew my phantom 2 in 2015, and got a $100 non-dji battery for it. I noticed that battery is still fully charged to this day even though the bird has been grounded for years. The other batteries discharged like they are programmed to. That was reinforcement to the importance of only buying...

    Green Flight Line

    16,000 AGL or MSL? If that's AGL you're most likely flying in class A airspace, and run the risk of being hit by commercial air traffic. It's probably a good idea to not fly that high.

    FAA Approves DJI To Authorize Customer Flights In Controlled Airspace

    I'm anxious to see if this will result in the ability to file a flight plan in DJI GO, like in AirMap. This will hopefully make the process even smoother.

    Itelite DBS Plus Bird side Antennas.

    To transmit the 2.4ghz signal, you'll need a wide, thin gage cloverleaf. The thicker gage, tighter cloverleaf works better with the 5.8GHz frequency.

    Night Time Video Flight on PV2+ - Noisey Video

    Regardless of an app gives you the ability to deactivate flight lights, it's unsafe for reasons like lifeflight pilots not expecting a 3 pound object to be in their flight path.
