If you plan on using your drone for land survey you will need low cm precision and accuracy. To use the RTK on your drone you will need a source of corrections and these could be from a DRTK or from an RTK/NTRIP service provider or using NGS CORS RINEX downloads to use PPK. You will also need a...

He does have a path to get a Part 107 without taking the $175 exam. He has to take a training (that is nearly identical to the recurrency training we take) on FAA Safety. gov. Go here: https://www.faa.gov/uas/commercial_operators/become_a_drone_pilot Scroll down to: Existing Part 61...

I have fond memories of the Phantom 4 Pro V2. I learned to map with it, learned to map with control points with it, and learned how to map with an add-on PPK kit with it. It did real estate jobs very well and its video and images served some inspection type jobs. Mine has found a new home. I...

OP, I would attempt to get a refund for the faulty listing if this is indeed a Phantom 2. You introduction to drones may be a sour experience using such a dated drone that you will have a nightmare finding "good" batteries for. I would find a low cost Mavic 2 Pro and call it a day. You can...

There is nothing new about DJI having all products reach EOL, End of Life. It happens with every single product and will happen with their current products. While it does indeed suck, Autel is no different. The Mavic 2 series has been out since 2018/19 and I was able to buy new DJI batteries for...

Map Pilot Pro

You have too many problems going on here. Are you using a multispectral P4 and trying to map to do a vegetation index ortho? If so, the water is giving you bad data since you need the sun reflecting off of the vegatation so it can absorb and refelct correctly. Next problem, the rippling waves...

Way too political for me. I'll keep using DJI until I can't.

Not sure how software we can't afford is better for us. All Flight Hub 2 competitors are out of range of our limited budget. The same goes for drones we can't afford. I've had demos on several of the listed drones. None came close to price to capability and ease of use.

Skydio AeroVironment BRINC Drones Freefly Systems Teal Drones Insitu Vantage Robotics Draganfly Easy Aerial, or Vision Aerial I'd rather have my DJI. Draganfly is Canadian also. Our public safety program runs well because of Flight Hub 2 which would be a $20,000 subscription for Skydio and...

Swipe down from the top, like you are trying to get to settings. Screenshot is a option. The screen shots are stored in Screenshots Folder. You can connect the controller to a PC with a USB A to USB C cable. Turn on USB Storage, press OK.

As mentioned the camera is the same. It does have improvements with features. There are some really good deals on Phantom 4 RTK units with batteries and custom cases as a lot of people moved on to the Mavic 3 E and now the Matrice 4 E. It may be hard to find DJI OEM batteries as time goes on...

No problem Paul. I have the utmost respect for surveying as a profession.

I would try that route while you learn how to setup the Javad unit. At least you could start to collect some datasets and process them. A general guide to get up and running: You need to be in an area with cell phone coverage. Connect you controller to a hotspot. Swipe Down from the top of...

A Google search shows a Javad forum that discusses this. I cannot help you with Javad but can help you with workflows once you get the Javad to send corrections. https://support.javad.com/index.php The above forum seems like a place where Javad users can help you get it setup. What state are...
