Did you notice if the battery was swollen before this flight? Was it difficult to insert and remove? We have a couple of swollen batts and have stopped using them. They were quite new without much use (4-5 flights), so maybe a design fault?? Doh, sorry, it wasn't your drone, nevermind, as you...

Hi there, Yesterday i was trying a routine flight for mapping but before i could get airborne i had communications issues between the RC and the aircraft. There were various messages on screen (I tried both ipad and samsung galaxy s7) telling me "Aircraft disconnected'" (even i could see the...

Hi, we operate a number of UAVs based out of HCMC, mainly for topographic, etc mapping but also inspection and archive purposes. Any other P4PV2 pilots in HCMC, or elsewhere in Vietnam? Reply or email me at [email protected] Regards, Dave

Hi iClick, Drone Deploy or Pix4DPlanner will work well for this purpose, but you will need to fly each section of corridor with at least two overlapping flight lines, three lines are better, so as the processing can create the stereo models needs for mapping. To do this create your long...

Hi Agrs1974, Your setup is very much like ours: P3Pro, Mavic Pro and new P4Pro! As motorcycle man has said there are a lot of links to resources in these forums, but another great source is youtube.com where there are many great videos on camera settings for different drones for different...

Hi badshoe, Wow, ice storms and hurricanes, sounds like tough country down your way.....! If your flight planning software does not accept your land plats coordinates (which are likely to be on a coordinate projection Northings and Eastings in eg NAD27 or NAD83) directly, you will have to...

Hi Flyinguser, Thanks for the response. I regularly use Pix4d and DroneDeploy for flight planning, but neither of these does the doughnut flight plan. Perhaps I could find s/w that allows No Fly Zones, then create a No Fly Zone over the houses, etc in between the streets, but I think this...

I have a requirement to map streets and I don't want to fly over the houses, etc between streets. Does anyone know of a flight planning software (for mapping, so able to set flying height, sidelap, endlap, etc, etc) that can create a flight plan to map 4 streets in a block without flying over...

We always travel with our UAVs, either checked-in in a locked hard shell case inside another hard shell suitcase with other gear, or as hand-carry, soft or hard case, doesn’t matter too much as we’re handling it ourselves. Hope this helps. Dave

Well noted. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you all for your replies. Have any of you had a chance to test these apps yet? Thanks Dave

I'm hoping that someone can point me in the right direction for flight planning software for the P4P V2.0 which we purchased recently. We are a surveying and mapaping company and have been using DroneDeploy, Pix4Dmapper, etc as well as DJI's GS Pro with other DJI UAVs (P3P, P4P, Mavic Pro) but...
