On Agisoft I think your biggest issue if using one of the zoom cameras will be not having the correct overlap. Try to increase overlap. Also as you mentiuoned keep the zoom at the same exact level. You can try PPK also. After your flight download the RINEX logs from your image folder and then...

I replied, but after visiting Agisoft I was incorrect. Also my other reply has a link in it to Agisoft and is waiting for a moderator to approve it. But i posted below my response on RTK. On your alignment issue: You can process the different cameras together in one chunk in Agisoft. What...

Here is a link to Agisoft forum. You can have different zoom levels/focal lengths in the same chunk. I always thought you could not. https://www.agisoft.com/forum/index.php?topic=16983.0 You will have to make sure your overlap is ok since the different zoom levels may make the automated flights...

Oh and one more thing, DJI has its own tool for doing some basic radiometric analysis, DJI Thermal Analysis Tool. If you need sample images, they can be found here in this zip folder, in the dataset folder: DJI Thermal SDK - Download Center - DJI United States

Yes, the Matrice 4T thermal camera is radiometric. Keep in mind though, the DJI spec RJPEGs it produces cannot be used in FLIR Tools or FLIR Studio. Also the DJI spec RJPEGs cannot be used in Agisoft or Pix4D for a radiometric orthomap unless they are converted to TIFF. Drone Deploy though...

Welcome! The 4DT is a solid choice. For your accuracy needs, the 4DT will suffice. Like you mentioned, it does not have the mechanical shutter or the better Micro 4/3 sensor for mapping. But it can still map like any drone with GPS tagged images. You will not need GCPs if you only need...

Very good news! What did you end up doing as far as mission type? Mapping grid or Patrol route? When you do finally spot some Koalas, if able, share a thermal picture please.

Great information!! We have a dedicated drone training day coming up. We will test the relay function with a 4E and 4T.

For a waiver, there is none. This would be an FCC issue, not FAA. The FCC did not explicitly ban the DJI 4G dongles, DJI just did not introduce them to the US, most likely due to the controversy that DJI has at this time. You used to be able to add the DJI Dongle to the controller for the M30...

I finally received my AVSS PRS (Parachute Recovery System). This PRS makes a Matrice 4 series drone a Category 2 sUAS allowing for legal flights over people and moving vehicles. It does have a Category 2 maximum wind and also a minimum height you must fly. The most important item is that in...

Thank you for the feedback! This could be a huge improvement for situational awareness for many industries. In Public Safety, the newest COAs that allow for BVLOS could definitely use this to their own advantage and enhance safety. I am very unfamiliar with using this relay function though. I...

It seems like it is turned on, but go into the setting and make sure. On a Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced the sun damaged the shutter on the camera since this older model does not have Sun Burn protection.

You can turn on the Sun Burn Protection. It is located in the Camera Options, accessed from the far right side. With this on, the thermal sensor will keep the shutter closed when it senses a strong infrared source such as the sun. On our Matrice 300 RTK, it closes on propane fires at times with...

The new L3 will work with the Matrice 300 RTK, 350 and 400 series! It is DJI's first long range LiDAR system and also sports two 100 MP Micro 4/3 RGB cameras. You will be able to gather both colorized LiDAR data and create ortho maps with photogrammetry! Pricing was around $18,000 which is...

Great advice above. You can also try the white hot with red tint color palette to highlight the highest temperatures in red. Unfortunately, if the birds are the same temperature as other items in your field of view, you will have a harder time picking them out. We run into this same problem in...
