    Why NDVI camera when drone deploy can convert?

    Ivan if your point is that there is useful data outside true NDVI that is true. I think for a lot of farmers and agronomist having an RGB image of the field is a huge step forward. But you see this is a symptom of how little data the farmers and agronomist are working with. As we push forward as...

    Why NDVI camera when drone deploy can convert?

    To do them properly and justify the high prices I think that's true. However with aps like AgVault analytics is quickly evolving into a computer skill set so users shouldn't be too worried about getting overwhelmed by higher levels of scientific analysis.

    Why NDVI camera when drone deploy can convert?

    The "conversion" that drone deploy offers isn't real NDVI. Check out this short paper on the problem. If you don't like clicking links I just googled "NDVI white paper ryan nelson"...

    How much are people charging for precision agriculture surveys

    I don't know if they offer the option to DIY anymore. I had them do it and it works great. The normal DJI gimbal is still there and functions as if the NDVI+ sensor isn't even on the drone.

    How much are people charging for precision agriculture surveys

    No one has any large data usage yet. Its for aesthetics and to give clients a cool live shot. There is no practical application beyond "cool", however that doesn't mean that video isn't a huge deal. Being able to see moving imagery is always more exciting and how excited you can get your...

    Evaluating the Opportunity

    I think its hard to beat. The phantom 4 pro has imagery that often makes me think I'm looking at CG. It really is a beautiful camera. As for the Sentera NDVI+ there is simply nothing on the market that can currently compete. The company is small and you can get in touch with the actual engineers...

    Heretical Thoughts

    The trouble with any regulation of UAV's is who will enforce it? The police force in this country already has way too many enforcement responsibilities. That's why the regulations have been so small for hobbiests. No one could efficiently stop us so instead if they keep the rules vague and the...

    Phantom 3 4K Camera/Gimbal does it work on Phantom 3 Pro?

    Yes the inside of a p3 standard and a p 4k are different from a p3 pro/p3 advanced. The pro and advanced are the same and can have gimbals swapped but do not try to mix across p3 std and p3 4K.
