    INSPIRE 1 Firmware Version (V1.2.1.03) Update Notice

    I've been seeing a lot of reports o line of this version causing I1s to fall from the sky with a sudden power loss. Batteries are dropping in voltage reported back to the user by as much as 50% instantly, causing it to drop like a brick. Anyone seen this first hand? I'm grounding my flights...

    DJI expands SDK program: Adds Lighbridge support

    Quick update: I was able to get some code going with the SDK over the weekend. It gives you complete control over pretty much everything. I'll add a video soon for anyone that may be interested. Next up, I'm going to write and app that automatically moves the gimbal and collects photos to stitch...

    DJI expands SDK program: Adds Lighbridge support

    I don't know if anyone noticed, but buried at the bottom of all the recent DJI announcements was talk of an updated SDK. For those not familiar, they launched a Software Developer Kit last year that allowed developers of Mobile software (iOS & Android) the chance to write apps for the Phantom 2...

    Show what you filmed - Post Your Video Here

    I could have sworn that I posted this here already, but now I don't see it. Must be having a senior moment. In any case, we just picked up an Inspire 1 and took it to the beach for the weekend to test it out. We ended up with this footage.

    YouTube 4K videos

    Yup, mine did eventually show up in other formats. I guess their servers were overloaded last night when I first uploaded it. It's working now!

    YouTube 4K videos

    Does anyone know how YouTube handles 4K files? I uploaded a 4K video last night hoping that anyone that wasn't on a 4K playback device would still be able to view it in 1080, or at the very least 720, but that doesn't seem to be the case. My one friend with a 4K TV says it's looks amazing, but...

    Show us what you shot.

    I've had this one on my to-do list for 2 years or more. Yesterday I just happen to find myself near the location with a rig in the trunk, 1 charged battery and favorable light & wind conditions. Once we got the shot, I knew it had to be B&W.

    Alexmos power handling

    I figured it out. Seems it is backwards from what I was told. The 3.0 version goes up to 30 volts while the 3.01 only takes 25.

    Alexmos power handling

    Thanks Captain Obvious. ;-) Do you know if that is the 25 or 30 volt version?

    Alexmos power handling

    Hey gang, I've got this Alexmos 32 bit board that I got shortly after they came out last year, but it's been sitting on the bench until now. I know that the first generation ones were only able to handle up to 25 volts, which falls just short of using a 6s battery with it. The newer ones are...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    I couldn't agree more, and you made one key point for me. This is an inherent problem. When you are designing a product to work in a certain operating environment, one of the VERY first steps is to evaluate all the inherent problems within that environment and design your offering around them...

    Point cloud data in the field isn't going to happen anytime soon on an iPad. It's simply to much data to process. DroneDeploy is probably the fastest turn around time on processing, but it's not point cloud data to start with, just the orthomosaic. They do their 3D data on a second pass from...

    Phobotic Centerpiece Brushless Gimbal Controller

    Blaming it on the mechanics of the gimbal sounds like a cop out to me. I guess every gimbal in the world was designed wrong. What a waste of time and money.

    It seems they only do 2D orthomosaics (not full 3d) and from what I have been able to dig up, you HAVE to have georeferenced photos. You can't get by with just collecting ground control points after the fact. How did you get with Recap360? I looked into it, but there was something that turned...

    Phobotic CenterPiece Owners Thread.

    I see that new firmware just went live 2 days ago. I'm upgrading now and will hopefully get a chance to test it tomorrow.

    Phobotic CenterPiece Owners Thread.

    So where did everyone land with this controller? I'm just now revisiting mine after several months of sitting on the bench. Did the latest firmware ever fix the yawning issues?

    Sony QX1

    I'm using the A6000 now and the NEX 5 prior to that. This would be a weight savings for me with that in mind. Thanks for that link, MacTadpole! That's exactly what I was looking for.
