Is it even worth attempting to follow up on authorizations? I've now hit five months on several. I know the wait is long but I'm hearing others getting theirs in half the time. I'm glad others are getting theirs, no sour grapes here but if I attempt to check will that just ensure a longer wait...

Yes, I believe so. Buyer may have gotten it working but I'm interested in any thoughts on fixes or anyone else that has had this problem.

I just sold my X5 along with the original lens, and Olympus 14-42 and a Panasonic lens. All worked fine when I shipped them out but the buyer has had nothing but problems with it, as it keeps giving him a can't recognize lens error. He has cleaned all of the electrical contacts on the camera...

I agree that the P4 can be perceived as a toy from the outside. I had this opinion for quite awhile but the reality is that it is the best tool for the job. Wind is an issue but the more mapping based applications and service providers you look at the more you will see geared toward the P4. What...

Here's a few I did with the 14-42 last week. I'd love a touch more clarity but not bad for the price. I was about 50-75' from that tower with an Inspire 1. Side note....FDS - you guys able to ship gear effectively to PR right now or are things still too sketchy?

Mr. Martin, Thank you very much for your in-depth reply. It gives me more food for thought and I really appreciate it. One of my tipping points, for lack of a better term, is positioning myself in the market where I can deliver a quality product that has market value but doesn't over extend me...

Thank you Jerry, I really appreciate your input.

Thanks bluelight, that is exactly the kind of info I was hoping for.....unfortunately I always tend to stick on the questions that aren't an easy black and white answer. I am in the US, Houston, TX more precisely. The environment isn't the greatest but the UAS work opportunities here are...

I appreciate all of the input and info, as well as the other questions raised. It certainly is a daunting hill to start climbing but that is what hills are for :) . I am of the sort that while I understand the academics and the coursework path, I also need to get my hands dirty on the...

Thank you very much Jerry. I appreciate your time. I got lucky and found out that an old friend is currently in a GIS program at the University of Houston and is going to hook me up with the department head. I'm excited but a bit overwhelmed trying to figure out where to start. I already have...

Obviously, there is a very clear line between those of you that really know what you are doing and are able to get out in the real world and work at mapping/GIS and the rest of us struggling to get functional. Can anyone spare a few minutes and provide some direction for someone who wants to...

Thank you rilot. All I have had time to try so far is the lens correction selection in Lightroom but it appears to only be generic for the inspire 1 and not this particular lens. I'm still figuring that end of things out.

I just bought a 14-42 for my Inspire 1 X5. Clarity seems great so far but I'm finding a "fisheye" type bending of straight lines (i.e. roof lines, etc) when zoomed all the way in. I did a quick search but haven't yet found a fix or correction. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong or settings I may...

I'm sure you have already but if not, get your police report done as soon as you can. The NCIC entry is your key to recovery. With something that high end the average turd car burglar isn't going to know what to do with it other than pawn shop or craigslist. Pawnshops electronically report their...
