    TFRs and DJI

    You bet. Glad it went well.

    Turn on Airplane mode before starting GO. ;)

    TFRs and DJI

    Unscheduled TFRs are not added to the database until DJI learns about them. Don't let GO talk to the internet and you should be fine.

    Black bands and purple and yellow spots/streaks in X4S imagery

    Yes, I've seen it mentioned before with other cameras as well. Get yourself some DeoxiT Gold

    Black bands and purple and yellow spots/streaks in X4S imagery

    Did it just start? Agree. I would check the connection/ contacts between gimbal and craft.

    How to? Sony A7Riii and accurate GPS data

    Just looked and the hot shoe connector Emlid sells is just for the newer modules. Here is a post where a guy made his own for the older module. https://community.emlid.com/t/hot-shoe-integration/2539

    How to? Sony A7Riii and accurate GPS data

    Here is a quick find on using the module for geo-tagging images. https://community.emlid.com/t/camera-photo-geo-stamps-from-manual-photo/17340

    How to? Sony A7Riii and accurate GPS data

    I have 2 of the original Emlid modules which does not have the enclosure but otherwise are very similar. With Tallysman antennas . I don't use them and would sell one for a good price if you ever want to try it out without going all in. They operate the same. But the ppk workflow may be more...

    How to? Sony A7Riii and accurate GPS data

    Doug, The module records a log and a time stamp is placed in the log at each image capture via the hot shoe connection. For ppk processing, the shorter the baseline the better. So, ideally, yes, an instrument on site recording a base log in addition to the rover log on the uav (or your hand...

    Matrice 300

    Exactly! Where is similar redundancy with the M200/M300 power train? These craft are meant to carry the most expensive payloads. They are not worthy of redundancy in the power train?

    Matrice 300

    I'm not sure why anyone would want a controlled landing like with a crippled hex over a spinning rock ! ? DJI marketing will tell you that motor or esc failure is so rare that they don't need to waste resources with redundancy. But they get a blank look when you ask if DJI will replace the...

    How to? Sony A7Riii and accurate GPS data

    Doug, you can use the Emlid by itself. You'll need to rig an antenna and power to the unit. It will probably be more accurate than the drone's gps out of the box. But a lot of guys post-process the data (PPK) when highly accurate is needed. There are also some DIY workflows out there to...

    How to? Sony A7Riii and accurate GPS data

    There are various kits to add an Emlid GNSS module to uas. https://emlid.com/reach/

    Looks Good, but still a quad

    Looks like a heck of a workhorse. I'm a little surprised it's not at least a hex, but then it probably wouldn't get 50 minutes. But it would be even more powerful in weather and maybe could survive a motor or esc malfunction. I wonder if DJI will commit to making a strong effort to provide an...

    Do style settings do anything for cDNG?

    I don't have the camera, but I will say that they should not. You could verify with a real quick test. Load up some rediculously strong settings, shoot a few seconds and see if they effect the CDNG footage.
