    a new micro...anyone seen this?

    OP, you should be able to get in touch with them soon. I know they are still filling orders, so they haven't closed shop or anything.

    a new micro...anyone seen this?

    I know the Airdroids CEO pretty well. From what I have heard, he has more or less taken a job with google and walked away from Airdroids. I was told that he had no more plans for the company after their kickstarter orders finally shipped. It's a shame since they had a lot of opportunity in front...

    3D Photogrammetry

    One of the other projects we have recently used photogrammetry for is this old train station. It's one of the last wooden train stations from the B&O railroad which still stands. They are in the process of moving it to a new location. We plan to 3D print it and put it on my buddies train table...

    3D Photogrammetry

    Hey Gang, I haven't been on here in a little while, so I thought stop by and post about our newest efforts, 3D photogrammetry. We started working with a company called Direct Dimensions that specializes in 3D scanning, mostly with lasers & lidar. To start, we figured we would experiment with...

    Looking for P2V+

    I just got set up as a DJI mobile dev, but the SDK currently only supports the P2V+. Does anyone have one they want to sell? I'll even consider something that is crashed and not flyable, as long as the electronics still work and I can make my app communicate with it. PM me for details. -Terry

    I'm afraid that for the moment, it is.

    DJI Livecast is happening right now. new announcement hasn't happened yet

    I want to know what flight controller they are using. It has an optical flow sensor on it now, so the question is did they retrofit that on an A2 or Naza, or is there something new all together? Personally, I think it's going to be a hard sell. It has some sex appeal because it looks great and...

    DJI SDK for mobile developers

    So it looks like DJI is going to be opening up the doors to outside mobile software developers. it hasn't been officially announced yet, but from this subdomain that is now live, it seems they will be granting access to an SDK that controls pretty much everything... video feed, camera control...

    Major Solar Storm NOW - GPS risk!

    I'm hoping to get it submitted to Apple for review before the end of the year, so less than 2 months.

    Major Solar Storm NOW - GPS risk!

    You are correct, and that's a great app. What we are building is actually something more of a flight companion app that will include space weather reports as just one feature of a larger feature set.

    Major Solar Storm NOW - GPS risk!

    It will be available for the low low price of just a few fingers. ;-)

    Major Solar Storm NOW - GPS risk!

    I'm actually in the process developing a mobile app that will allow you to check space weather conditions before flight, among other things. I'll post a link up here when it's in the App Store.

    3D Software

    Personally, I think we are still a few years out from having a really solid solution at a good price. Most of the software out there requires a very serious workstation to run it and it pretty expensive. Of course, today's workhorse is tomorrows runt, so this will level out with time. We have...

    H3-3D camera operator

    Hey gang, While waiting for some parts to show up to finish a new gimbal build on my big quad, I put an H3-3D on to have something to shoot with. I'm flying a Wookong hooked up with S-Bus to the pilots controller. Normally, I set up all our rigs as a two person operation, but this set up is a...

    DJI Zenmuse Z15N with Sony A6000 - HDMI Cable

    Good to know. I think I'm going to opt for the a6000 with this in mind. I hate to be forced to land in order to switch between video & stills. Once you are in position, it's a real pain to not have control of that. The a5100 is lighter and has the added video codec that supports 50 mbps, but...

    DJI Zenmuse Z15N with Sony A6000 - HDMI Cable

    And that is via IR trigger, correct? I'm wondering about the a5100. It looks like they got rid of the IR sensor in favor of controlling the app over wi-fi with a smartphone app. Good for most consumers, but not us MR pilots.

    DJI Zenmuse Z15N with Sony A6000 - HDMI Cable

    How does the Zen handle the shutter? From what I have read, the A5100 got rid of IR remote control. The camera looks great, but if that is the case it could be a deal breaker for a lot of folks that need that control in the air. Any ideas?

    3D Scanning via UAV

    We have been working with a 3D scanning company lately to try and see how far we could push the envelope of photogrammetry. Our first tests were to scan a familiar monument in our area and see how much 3D data we could pull together without the use of lasers, only photos. The results are more...
