    PHOTOGRAMMETRY -replacing Phantom 4pro(non more in production)with Mavic 2Pro ?

    I have seen sample pictures where telephone poles look more like a curved banana rather than a straight pole.

    PHOTOGRAMMETRY -replacing Phantom 4pro(non more in production)with Mavic 2Pro ?

    One worry to consider with the current Mavic is the electronic shutter versus the mechanical shutter. There will be distortion if the craft is moving - the advantage of a mechanical shutter.

    Sharing your video feed with a bigger screen

    One worry I have is I usually set my control device on the RC to Airplane Mode so that incoming events can’t interrupt my flight. Would that interfere with this configuration?

    Phantom 4 k WiFi password “Recovery “?

    For the future... I use Evernote as a way of recording all of my passwords. I can get to them from any device, and Evernote is very secure. And free!

    Parachutes

    A Mavic Air, falling from 200 feet is definitely going to hurt someone pretty badly if they are hit. Probably not much different than a Phantom.

    Phantom 4 pro vs V2.0

    ‘Plus’ Models may have limitations, but the normal P4Pv2 model uses your device, not the built-in display.

    New P4P v2.0 for $1,099.00 US.

    I paid $1350 for mine 2 months ago through B&H Photo. If the v2.0 is available, and you plan to use it for commercial, it’s definitely better than a v1.

    New App Let's Public Report "Illegal" Drone Activity in New Zealand. Good Idea or Bad Idea? Would This Work in the US?

    Amateur Radio has been self policing almost since the beginning. When CB radio was totally out of control, HAM radio was a sane place to operate. Education through self-policing does work.

    Attention: We will have to EXTERNALLY mark all aircraft with Reg #

    The justification is the possibility of a bomb in the model that is triggered when the battery is removed. Has that ever happened before? I don’t remember that in the news.

    Gimbal guard

    Also, I don’t think it’s a good idea to have the guard installed with the drone powered up! You can damage the gimbal because ‘start up’ runs the gimbal through some movements. Remove the gimbal guard before starting your drone, then no interference.

    There is a Maps Made Easy Facebook group also, if you need another source for help.

    Could offending drones be shot down?

    Yesterday I saw a Product review for a 12-gauge shell carrying a drone capture net. So there are non-bullet ways to shoot down a drone.

    P4P+ V2.0 obsolete? Is this true? I just bought the dang thing.....

    I’ve talked to a couple of Enterprise dealers that say the P4Pv2 is discontinued - not quite the same as obsolete. It’ll continue to be supported for a while. I also heard that the P4P components have been diverted to support the P4-RTK. Which is probably causing the parts shortage for v2’s.
