    What's up with the green interference?

    Your post implies that you have green screen on the actual 4k footage from the memory card which is very difficult to believe. The green screen on your tablet is likely your tablet CPU and GPU and / or wifi signal. Wifi is not a big problem when you fly within regulations, line of sight, and...

    Got a call from the local FAA - someone 'reported' me

    I work for a large Architecture and Engineering firm. We have our own internal group and liability insurance and SFOC and equipment and everything else. We also developed very clear contracts that any consultant would need to show that they can meet and sign prior to doing any work for us. I...

    What's up with the green interference?

    Another thing I did that seems to help is I cut a sheet of copper (crafts store) the size of my tablet and insert it into the light shroud behind the tablet. I need the wifi from the tablet to connect to my cell phone hot spot for GPS location and online sync with Litchi. The copper creates a...

    What's up with the green interference?

    I had this with my Samsung Tab 8. I thought it was transmission. One day the tablet battery was dead so I used my iPhone. It was crystal clear. So I bought the NVIDEA Shield tablet and I have never had this issue since. It must be video processor in tablet from the USB. I also gain HDMI out from...

    Recreational drone now illegal in most of Canada...

    I am in the middle of my courses and now I can't fly anywhere. One of the requirements to get a commercial license is 100 hours of experience. So how is anyone supposed to get this now? The previous guidelines for under 2 kg were reasonable. It is unfair to ground all drones over 125 grams.

    Tablet options for DJI Phantom 3, 4, Samsung Tab 8, Nvidia Shield, Teclast X98, Eachine One goggles

    I did a short review of tablet options in case it helps people looking for a tablet or goggles. Eachine Goggles One - I can't actually focus on the screen with the goggles on so I need to increase the magnification of the lens before I can use them. They also came with one battery, not two...

    P3 - Max lift weight

    Sony RX100 can be mounted to P2 and P2V+. But why not go right to the Samsung NX500 APS-C 28mpix camera! http://dronexpert.nl/product/360-samsung-nx500-panorama-head-phantom-3/ I am currently trying to rig a Sony a5100 to my P3P.

    How can I fly grids with geotagged images with P3P?

    So I bought the P3P to do 3D mapping and now I can't find a way to fly grids with it and take images with geotags. I have been trying Pix4D Mapper beta but still doesn't work. Apparently DJI's own Ground Station doesn't work either. Really?!?! They can't make Ground Station available for their...
