Terrain data is a downloaded DEM (Digital Elevation Model) to allow you to use Terrain Following when mapping. The DEM's from DJI can be old and of low resolution. This has nothing to do with images reporting in ellipsoid for altitude. The drone uses either the barometer, VPS or GNSS module for...

Information on DJI RTK drones and how they report their altitudes: https://www.agisoftmetashape.com/how-to-process-dji-rtk-coordinate-data-in-agisoft-metashape-complete-workflow-guide/#:~:text=Common%20Issues%20When%20Using%20DJI,to%20apply%20GCPs%20for%20correction...

Your flight logs will show altitude as above the takeoff point and this in the metadata will be Relative Altitude. Relative Altitude is in the metadata, photo properties just does not use it. To answer your question on adding 40m, no, the drone is calculating the altitude as designed and...

Is it the intermittent squeaking sound? If so I can hear it. Hope it isn't bad bearings. Do you have access to a thermal camera to check if one motor is appreciably hotter than the others?

The altitude in the image is referring to the HAE or Height Above Ellipsoid. So the 118 means that your drone was 118 meters above the WGS 80 ellipsoid. DJI Enterprise drones that have the ability to use RTK will report two altitudes. In the Matrice 4 Series metadata: HAE will be in the...

I am tone deaf. I don't hear anything. You would of noted if you had any errors on screen. Rotate the motors around and make sure the little gap towards the bottom is even through a full rotation and that you can feel the magnets making little stops. On a side note, this drone looks bad a**...

Not on mine. My controller firmware is 01.64.0605. Like you my Pilot 2 is 15.0.0.8.

The images do seem more compressed than the Mavic 3E. Are you on the newest firmware? I just went back and looked at a lot of my images. They range from 5MB to 11MB with the 5 being streets and roads and the higher numbers being forested areas. Someone else in the forum also had a problem with...

You do not want to use the zoom camera for mapping. The Wide is the 4/3 sensor with the mechanical shutter. If you change your zoom you will have a different focal length and this will introduce errors into your outputs. I have an opposite experience. My outputs in Pix4D, Agisoft and Drone...

The latest release notes do not show 01.64.0605 Also the Offline Firmware updates do not show this firmware as available for download.

I would be very careful with this mission. I would use RTK and watch to make sure you do not lose FIX in RTK and also you don't lose your non-RTK positioning. Try the Local Model method. Fly the area with simple settings. Then use the Local model to plan your flight. Just draw your shape...

This link may help: How to Extract Image Metadata in Python - The Python Code Also I would look and ask around Github. I am sure someone has done this before.

The area mission will take images since it is an image acquisition route for photogrammetry. I am not sure that you can stop taking images. Maybe try and start to record video? Have you tried Patrol route? I just tested it the other day. It works the same as Area Route but does not take images...

Download and install Pix4Dmapper. You can use it for free in Discovery mode, but will not be able to do full processing. After you import images into Pix4D, you get camera IMU data. From here choose To File to export to an Excel sheet.

Yesterday my RC Plus Controller updated its firmware to 01.64.0605. There was not a new firmware for the aircraft, just the controller. This firmware might be for the new Mavic 3T Advanced and might allow the RC Plus to work with it. I could be wrong though. The RC Pro for the Mavic 3...
