    Best fast shutter speed

    Thank you for your reply. Just so I understand a bit better, what is the 2x focal or 4x focal based on, why is this rule of thumb and what does this improve? Thank you again.

    Best fast shutter speed

    Hi Everyone, For video, what would be the minimum shutter speed necessary to shoot in, in order to get a crisp image when I freeze a frame (for inspection work)? Thanks.

    Roof Inspection

    Hi Lake_Flyer, Thanks for all this information, I appreciate it. You've also helped me in my past posted questions, so thanks again. I really like the idea of using waypoints for this inspection. Would a lower flying 3D model be a good way of doing this inspection? I always follow the...

    Roof Inspection

    Hi Everyone, To you commercial users, please see attached a picture of a roof (outlined) that I will be doing an inspection on. Can you please give your opinion on how you would tackle this job? The client wants video and is looking for rust and damage. If you know of a better way beside...

    Mapping Accuracy with IP

    How is Volume accuracy without GCP's? I was talking with a local operator and he was telling me stockpile surveying can do without GCP's and you can get fairly accurate results in the vertical volume measurements only. This sounds like critical stuff and I can see why.

    Mapping Accuracy with IP

    In what instance would extreme accuracy not be important? I've trying to get this answer for a while just to know what jobs I can do with out GCP's? Thanks!

    Mapping Accuracy with IP

    Hi and thank you. How do you make these calculations of accuracy?

    Mapping Accuracy with IP

    Thank you for all the info and your time. I guess, what I want to know is what type of customer can I provide a mapping service to where cm accuracy isn't important to them and to whom would it be important. I just need to clear up what my possibilities and limitations are with using my...

    Mapping Accuracy with IP

    Hi Everyone, I have an Inspire Pro and have some drone mapping questions, if you wouldn't mind answering. 1) If I were to map out an area with my IP, what would the accuracy be within (without GC or RTK)? 2) Would flying lower or higher improve measurement accuracy? 3) Would different focal...

    X5 HF prime lenses vs Zoom lens for Inspections

    Hi, thank you for that info. What brand filter do you use for Aerial work? I just got the Polar Pros because of their intergraded polarizing ND filters. Sent from my iPhone using InspirePilots

    X5 HF prime lenses vs Zoom lens for Inspections

    Thanks for the info. Do you have any recommendations on what brand of ND filters get and not to get? I've been pulling between the hitech firecrest ND's and the Polar Pro 6 pack. But wow, the firecrest are not cheap! Is it worth it?? How are these Neewer and Hoya filters mentioned in...

    X5 HF prime lenses vs Zoom lens for Inspections

    Hi, Now that this is to my attention. I just finished checking the balance of both my DJI 15mm and 14-44mm. The 15mm is still bottom heavy with the balance ring and Hoya ND filter. I added a UV filter to the bunch and this seemed to help a bit but it may be a little nose heavy now. The...
