Thanks Dave. I'm using these for photogrammetry. I deal with very large quantities of data (mostly satellite DEM and orthoimagery) quite a lot. Too much quality is rarely a problem, as it can always be sampled down. Frankly, at this point, I am more concerned with write times, as 10 sec. per...

thanks all!

thanks, point taken

awesome, thanks for the info. I'll do a better search next time ;)

not to beat the point to death.. but... so, If my drone has a constant altitude mode, and I set that to say, 300 ft, and it flies around the mountain staying always less than 300 ft above the nearest point directly below it.. still not kosher?

Hi All, newb pilot here (working on my part 107 cert...) I am trying to figure out: 400ft is max altitude, but from....? i.e. if I am standing on/launching from the top of a mountain that is at 5000ft MSL, and there is a valley below that reaches a depth of say, 3000ft MSL... can I fly out...

I thought that might be a problem. it is interesting that none of these apps, that I know of, offer an option to STOP and shoot. This would solve the time issue, and produce clearer images due to the lack of any motion blur. yes, it would take longer, and so might not be applicable in every...

Thanks Meta4. but, not giving up yet :)

thanks much!

Hi All, I just started exploring drone mapping for photogrammetry with a Phantom 4 pro. I've used DroneDeploy a couple of times to scan some chunks of landscape. It's really easy and straightforward to use... the only problem is that it overrides the jpg/RAW camera setting, and will only shoot...

Bought a slightly used Phantom 4 Pro from a friend. Using it mostly for photogrammetry. I'm in the Oceanside/Vista/Carlsbad area a bit north of San Diego, which has *lots* of airports nearby.
