Hi Can anyone recommend the best way to share a point cloud file with a client to supplement a topographical map we have just finished. We use Autodesk Recap in the office and Pix4D for processing but not sure of the best means to share the point cloud files with a client so they can view the...

Hi, thanks for this, that is exactly the workflow I needed. I was finding the P4 RTK has an elevation bias hence wanting to use the DRTK-2 device to record some GCP against which I could reoptimise the elevation in Pix4D. Thanks for this great help.

Hi, has anyone used the D RTK 2 base station in mode 3 to measure specific coordinates of a given location, i.e. for GCP's? The user guide is pretty scant on any information on this operating mode. It talks about the ability to connect a mobile phone. Anyone know what app one would run to...

Looks like a great trip and great place to sail. I'm yet to do longer than a two dayer. Hoping to do some longer passages next summer and get some nice footage of the trips using the drone.

I tried switching to Atti mode but it didn't make any difference. Also tried in Sport mode thinking that should shut off all GPS and it would then allow normal shut down or CSC, didn't work either. Good tip on launching in Atti mode, will try that next time. Great portfolio too btw.

Thanks for the reply Nigel. I was also surprised that CSC would not cut motors, I thought this would shut down the drone no matter what the circumstance. I had a friend catch the drone so had two hands on the controller and tried CSC multiple times and for prolonged hold but just ended up...

yep, i think in smoother waters it would not be an issue, I'm sailing mainly in the English Channel (south coast of UK). @solentlife - any suggestions you may have as someone from the south coast?

thanks for the reply. i did try the usual shutdown method (both sticks down and inwards) but this did not work. I also tried left stick down and left stick down plus holding RTH button but none of these shut the motors off. The issue is that the boat is not stable as it is moving up and down...

I've recently been using my Phantom 4 to film some of my sailing trips. I'm hand launching and catching the drone as it comes in to land. Once I have caught it, I cannot shut down the motors in the usual way one would if the landing had been on land. Anyone know how to shut off the motors in...
