Overlay flight telemetry

[realsting]

This is not necessarily a question about the Phantom 4, but is it possible to have the flight telemetry overlaid on the recorded video, or is it possible to somehow get the flight telemetry so that I can overlay it in postproduction?

And I am NOT talking about just recording the video from the iPhone monitor during flight.

Thanks,

Yes. You'll need to first convert your flight log to CSV format using one of these converters. Then, you can load that CSV data into gauges and display them on top of your video. Most people are using DashWare to create those gauges. You can find more information about how DashWare works by searching for "DashWare".

Please check Phantom Overlay
New app for Mac to generate GPX, KML and FCXPML out of the SRT files. Easily add GPS overlay to your video.
Enjoy !

Hi msinger....

Glad to see you again after a while ...
I have problem with Phantom4 flight data mapping to be used on dashware. I have tried several data profile to use with... (ie: DatCon v5, Datcon v3, Litchi v2, etc). But none of them can bring the data into dashware app as expected, even in fact i am able to preview the data via the Data Profile Editor menu inside dashware app.
I also tried to rename each column on the CSV to match the column names written inside profile XML file, but still no avail. Yes there were some columns seem to be correctly read by the gauge (ie: altitude), but i still unable to get most of the columns work as expected, especialy the longitude and latitude which is needed to form a mini map on the sync tab inside dashware app, there's still blank or sometimes only a single line which is not representing the real flight data.

I searched on google for the last few days wish to find Actual data profile specially made for Phantom4, but couldn't find one. I think there would be some change on the column names produced by the phantom4 flight data on every firmware update. And these are the column i get from Phantom4 with latest firmware (v02.00.0700).

So... can you help me with this?
Thank's in advance...

I'm not able to help you with this since I don't have a working DashWare profile. You should be able to get it working if you map the data correctly.

Thanks for your reply msinger....
Finnaly, i figured it out my self.... The problem is DatCon producing #ticktime from the Phantom4 Flight Data which i gues they're kind of very random, so DashWare can't take it into account as a sequence.... So i just replace it manualy with excel autosequence, and then everything works....
I made a new Profile for Phantom4 as well, but with very few columns which meet my need...
