    Looking for OFFLINE mapping solution that allows for RAW Capture.

    Thank You, finally someone who gets it. Whew. I will definitely look into UgCS, I've downloaded the trial and will play with it some. We're typically capturing full industrial setups in the field of things that could include lattice structures, trailers, tanks, complicated piping and tubing...

    Looking for OFFLINE mapping solution that allows for RAW Capture.

    I'm capturing images for modeling. Not Mapping. I need mapping missions because trying to catch a 80% overlap by hand gets to be tedious and spotty. Agreed. We typically will fly differing heights to adjust for the lack of overlap at low altitudes. We calculate overlaps for ground, center of...

    Phantom 4 Pro losing GPS signal, have satellites but no signal

    Guys, check out this video I made of the problem. I know this was done in front of a cell tower, at the time of the filming of this video, I suspected the cell tower was the problem. But now, I am inclined to believe it's not. Others who are using the same drone to fly same towers are not having...
