    "DroneViewer" for synchronized flight mapping and video playback

    Just wanted to add DroneViewer to the list of available Flight Data Analysis software tools. With DroneViewer you can see your drone’s position on a Google Map as your video is playing. You can geotag key positions in the video and jump back to them instantly. You can click on your route in the...

    Synchronized flight visualization and telemetry demo

    I use SnapzPro X, but I hear Screenium is also good. These are Mac-only. I'm not familiar with the Windows offerings.

    Synchronized flight visualization and telemetry demo

    Hey guys, I just released a new version of Dashcam Viewer that adds better dashboard graphics (notice the Phantom in the compass :-) ) and compatibility with the new DJI Phantom 3 SRT format. For best results use 1080p movies. Too bad the SRT data format is so coarse. Would be nice if they...

    Phantom "attacked" by green laser

    Lol, not much of an attack but it was the first time someone applied "counter measures" to my Phantom2. Happens @ 1:40. To make the movie I combined GoPro flight video, DVR monitor video, ambient audio, and Flytrex Core data in RaceRender3.

    Dashware for Mac?

    But RaceRender for the Mac is a good substitute! :-)

    Synchronized flight visualization and telemetry demo

    FYI: You must turn on "subtitles" in the DJI Pilot app to get the SRT files. (tip from a YouTube user)

    Synchronized flight visualization and telemetry demo

    The program Dashcam Viewer has been modified to work with Phantom 3 videos and SRT data files. It allows you to display the current position of your P3 on a Google or Bing map as the movie is playing. Here is a demo: This video also demonstrates other features of the software such as zooming...

    Negative attitudes to drone photography?

    The last time I flew I was asked "how much does it cost?" by three separate people, lol. But the trigger question I've discovered is "Do you have a camera on that thing?". When I hear that my ears perk up. About half the time this is followed-up with "well you better not be photographing me!"...

    Beta testers wanted for new P3 flight visualization app (Mac/Windows)

    F6Rider, glad it works for you. Currently there is no way to overlay the info on top of the movie. Instead I display date, time and speed in the header area above the movie. Not quite as convenient as overlays but simpler to implement. I'll add this suggestion to my job jar.

    Beta testers wanted for new P3 flight visualization app (Mac/Windows)

    I thought so too at first. But the Hs values in the sample SRT file I've been using are mostly zeroes. For example, here the P3 is obviously moving based on its changing lat/lon but the Hs value is 0.0. 325 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:27,000 HOME(-123.0328,37.5614) 2015.5.9 16:52:29...

    Beta testers wanted for new P3 flight visualization app (Mac/Windows)

    Hi, I'm working on adding Phantom 3 support to my vehicle flight data visualization application (Dashcam Viewer). The software allows you to playback video of your flight alongside a Google Map showing your current position. Graphs and Data views show you additional flight data as the movie is...

    Does anyone here drive an EV or Plug-in Hybrid car?

    Yes, I drive an Leaf EV. Yes, I'm from California. But before you midwest folks spit your chewing tobacco and blow diesel fumes my way, hear me out. I'm a sports car guy. Heck, I've never owned a car with more than two doors. But with gas prices hovering around $4.50/gal in 2013, $10,000 in...

    People on the ground acting silly? Have you had this happen?

    Once I was asked "How much does it cost?" three times during one 14-minute flight by three different people. Doesn't bother me though (unless I'm stressing at the limit of my FPV!). I've also learned to expect the stink eye from someone who asks, "Does it have a camera on it?". As far a...

    Drone scare in Chicago

    So scary! http://www.nbcchicago.com/news/local/old-town-chicago-drone-299640321.html "A couple in Chicago's Old Town neighborhood say they're a little unnerved by an errant drone that wandered into their yard. Noemi Kopp-Tanaka noticed the small aircraft Monday, and trapped it with...
