Close, its a storm drain pipe on the beach underneath. I made a 3D model and was able to get the exact volume. I told public works it needed 8 cubic yards, they didn't listen or believe me and only partially filled it when they came up short. I'm concerned that it needs to be blocked off above...

You and me both, LOL. I want the T version since my thermal solution is a Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced. It is the slowest thermalmapping drone ever. I'll take a 3T though if I see a good deal on a used one. How much of an improvement are you seeing so far between the M4E and M3E? At least when...

I forgot about that. I own a Phantom 4 RTK which doesn't have that look with dewarping off. I use a Mavic 3 E sometimes at work and checked its old images and you are absolutely right. Also I mapped twice today with me M4E, it went FIX rather quickly. It still had the flashing satellites. I'll...

Thats good news. I am pretty sure that my original drone was the same as the current one. It's just being new and DJI Support not having experience with them yet. I have no doubt that DJI will dial them in within a firmware or two. I have a new problem. The images seem to have a dewarping...

Yes. Through Flight Hub 2. It is very low latency and seamless. You receive 5000 minutes for free, but these minutes will expire after 3 months. You can purchase additional minutes @ 10,000 minutes for $259 and these minutes do not expire. You can further purchase a monthly or annual...

I do get FIX though with the new drone even with the flashing numbers on all of the other (Not GPS) constellations. On the first drone, it did the same exact thing, but never could obtain FIX. I am going to contact DJI Support, not for a new drone as this seems to be an issue with all drones...

First, sorry to hear your problem. My RTK is now working with the new, replacement drone, but I have questions on if DJI has this dialed in yet. I received the replacement drone and immediately updated to the newest firmware: Aircraft Firmware: v12.01.06.06 Remote Controller Firmware...

Update: Matrice 4 Series thermal images work in the newest version of DJI Thermal Analysis Tool 3.4 No, they will not work in Flir Studio. They are DJI spec RJPEG. I have never used WebODM and do not know. A guess would be they will work as a normal JPEG, but I have no idea if WebODM...

Yeah, still cold here, although toady was in the high 40's low 50's, but the wind is nonstop. As soon as I get the wind below 20 mph I will fly the Local Cloud mission. With GSD at 0.20 cm the model of the building should be insane.

I made a model of my usual drone testing area using the Smart Oblique option. The gimbal rotates the camera in 5 directions to ensure coverage and overlap. Only 51 images were needed and I only had my target directly around the building. It easily captured the building and some of the...

I finally got a chance to make my first map. I made it a shootout where i tested: Matrice 4 E Phantom 4 RTK Mavic 2 Enterprise Advanced with RTK module (I know the RTK module does not have Time Sync for the images) I did not map by GSD, all drones flew at the same altitude @ 125 AGL. 5 Control...

I agree, DJI Maintenance is a great value and deal. Our Matrice 300 just got Premium Maintenance and received new motors, arms, top cover as well as a host of smaller parts such as gimbal vibration isolators, RTK antenna covers, new arm and leg connection points and more. It is 3 years old and...

I found an interesting feature when using Flight Hub 2. We know that if you enable AI on the controller you get Live People, Vehicles and Boats counting. Another feature is when you save images with AI enabled the count increase to 1000 items. If you forget to enable AI and have Flight Hub 2...

Finally got a chance to take the replacement out for a test. It was short as it was too windy. I tested Network RTK while receiving corrections from my paid RTK NTRIP provider and it went FIX in less than one minute. I made a very quick map and processed and yes, the accuracy is there. I...

DJI Dock 3 is here. It gained size but also increased it's weather resistance and is now mobile, in that it can be mounted on vehicles. The new Matrice 4 Dock Series drones look to be IP rated versions of the normal Matrice 4 Series. The pricing on the drones by themselves isn't too far from...
