Why not do a 'simple' SfM mission, perhaps using a trial version of Pix4D desktop? You could fly up, using licthi or GS Pro or just flying manually, and take a load of pictures of the area, ideally as you described flying facing west, east, etc. This will let you build a nice BIG (watch out for...

Hi from just a bit more north than you are! (Wirral!) That site looks amazing, would love to do some photogrammetry there some time! The landscape is just ... bizarre looking. The tint is likely as others say the white balance. If you're new to it, my tip is to always shoot in RAW. Welcome!

Limit of 20mb for the Apk? That's really unhelpful! Why is this the limit? Also, anyone managed to install Pix4D mapper at all? I've expressed my annoyance with this issue to DJI... I hope others do too, it's f**kin ridiculous that we can't install additional apps without all this messing...

Hi Tiger :) I'm having similar problems, I'm going to attempt some ADB installs, but would like to know what you managed to get working. I have emailed DJI about this, and suggest you do too, as they need to know that their users are terminally pissed with them for not allowing additional...

I just successfully, first time, installed Magic Power on my P3S on the latest firmware [1.9.20] Thanks guys!

Wind? What wind!

Hiya, sorry, been slammed! I left it a while in the field yes, and the IMU was normal, the compass values read normally (IIRC) and I didn't do a calibration. I'm about to test it again (for the first time since the 2nd July) and I'll let you know on all these points as a second run. Whatever...

To clarify: the IMU likely needed to warm up. The GPS fix was probably goosed as I'd traveled 100 miles+ from the last location it had a fix (it needed to re-download GPS almanac data but I didn't realize) This was evidently affecting the compass calibration. GPS systems explained To...

Got into the swing of using ATTI in the open Class G airspace near me. It's a blast. Your video (Solentlife) is fun; like the music. And man, that's an old telly. I'll be using my P3S for more tests in the next few weeks.

Hi all, I sorted it. I just left it for on 30 minutes in a field with nothing nearby. No props on to avoid any issues! IT'S ALIVEEEE!!! And mighty fun to fly! Love playing in ATTI.

Thanks all. I'm out later and I'll look at the compass values (slipped my mind that I could).

T Thanks Nigel, you're onto it there. I'll be looking into all these things. Came with a Windsurfer :) Not that I've tested the range yet :)

I've had a good read, am stood miles from any metals, the controller, other objects, in an open field that is just mud. I'm wearing zero metal - I'd be naked if I tried any harder! I've successfully calibrated several P4P's, an Inspire 1, a Mavic Pro all in this exact spot. The P3S just...

I'm a very happy bunny. It's basely flown 4km in a straight line since the previous owner bought it a year ago. I've been flying my P4A and the Mavic Pro a whole lot recently, but saw this pop up on Fb. Couldn't resist. There was all of 60 minutes between seeing the ad and flying it. So...

I'd be very interested to know about how OP's list above, and the question of being an officially certified surveyor in the UK.
