So it's been about 3mo since i commented on this post, and since then i have been testing Datumate extensively. There is a steep learning curve but the end product is really good. I have worked very hard to learn this program so i can reproduce the standard 2d and 3d surveys our clients have...

So i have been using a number of different available trials to see which processing software i like best. Pix4D, Skycatch, MME, Drone Deploy ect. My question is, should i be using the MME Pilot app when i process through MME, Pix4D when i process through them skycathes when i use skycatch ect or...

Well i think im going to use the iphone for flying for fun and i might have to borrow my works mini 4 when i fly for hire. Until i get a new ipad.

Bummer, That was my suspicion. I had hoped to be able to use a tablet I already have and not have to buy a new one.. Such is life though right?!

So I've got an iPad mini 1 (16gb) that i wanted to use with my p3p. I have a ipad mini 4 i use with my p4p and it works great, however when i use the 1st generation mini (with the p3p) the video transmission is terrible, intermittent green screen and lots of lag/glitching. I used my iPhone 6...

I understand but the multiple gimbal non-rtk system is not the lowest priced system to be offered, at least that's how it was explained to me. Personally im not interested in the multiple gimbals but am in the RTK so im assuming ill be in the $10,000 range. Someone looking for a single gimbal...

I work for a small engineering/surveying firm as well and have similar goals. There is a learning curve i've been learning for the last year or so for sure! I've just signed up for as many trials as i can so i can use each software to decide what i like and what works best for me. Currently...

I was told +/-$5000 for the low end and $15,000 for the fully loaded version. Also was told this was the month so we'll see.

So I'm starting to find that civil3d is NOT the program i want to edit my point cloud in. I am using Pix4d to process my photos and create my .las file and have had pretty good results from that but the data needs cleaned up, which is to be expected. What programs do you all use Before C3d but...

THANK YOU for all the support. After adjusting the settings i am getting MUCH better images and am very satisfied. I knew something had to be off because everyone in my office was noticing the image quality was lacking and the boss is now impressed and happy we bought the new craft.

So my question in this thread has been about photography but my main reason for purchasing the p4p is for mapping. I believe i need to shoot jpeg to get the exif data to attach to the image files while mapping. I set it to both Raw and jpeg to see the differences between the two.

My settings were defaults/Auto across the board. I made a few changes shown below.

I have, i took a number of photos that can be replicated today that i will use as a baseline to compare. The images above were taken a year apart with two different crafts. When viewed on my computer i can see distinct differences in clarity and sharpness. The p4p i have only flown twice so i...

Excellent, i will be revisiting a couple sites this week under better weather conditions and will try what you suggested. Thank you!

I created an account, however i don't see any client jobs in any of the areas i frequent. I guess its one of those things you just keep an eye on eh?
