I use z3 for my RGB (orthomosaics, 3D) and a slantrange for my Ag specific such as NDVI, weed detection, yield potential. It's relatively new right now and farmers are hard pressed around my area to cough up anything especially if they feel it isn't a need but a nice to have. I am going to...

Sensefly RTK: I have a couple orders where I am flying near a 1,000 acres and the client (non-ag) wants 3d imagery of the field plus elevation data. So I have been considering an upgrade in platform from the m100 to a fixed wing to cover jobs like this. Has anyone used the Sensefly RTK or...

I have attempted to use SlantRange through pix4d and DD it's not easy to do but can be done. I just started up the Slantview subscription today so will let you know how that works compared to pix and dd. The problem or at least the trouble with SlantRange vs your x3 is that the individual...

I am flying the m100 and doing ag services with the z3 and dronedeploy app. I also bought the SlantRange which is specifically for Agriculture and their software does amazing work at providing detailed counting, weed ID, drought spots etc. Insipre 1 would probably work if you only use the x3...

Can you not get some kind of vinyl or reflectance material from a local sign company and cut it down to size?

I have the zenmuse z3 and it works just fine. I do have to nudge the camera with my fingers after turning on so it can do the full calibration. I have seen the x3 on other m100s and it worked without issues. Have you plugged your m100 into the computer to check that all is up to date that way?

There is a timer option in the camera settings. Draw the specific line you want and adding waypoints along the way if you need the camera to focus in different areas.

have you downloaded the assistant and just plugged the m100 into your computer and updated the firmware that way?

I get with two tb48's with a heavy sensor and the z3 running about 24 minutes before I hit the 25% mark. Sounds like you're in the ballpark.

So I purchased the 2p version for around $3,500. I haven't used Slantview, but to just upload the photos to my computer and process through other software I am trialing. I have 3 months of Slantview purchased, but won't turn it on until next spring. It is a learning curve on how to properly...

How are you charging your agriculture clients?

I fly the Z3 for RGB and the SlantRange for my sensors. It is new and I am just getting use to it and trying to determine what altitude, speed, and overlap goes well with both cameras. I found that using dronedeploy - 150ft @ 16mph with 70% overlap works well with the Z3, but not so well with...

I made this mistake, that list can actually scroll down and you will see more options. I don't think its necessarily labeled pitch or roll, don't remember off the top of my head but it is obvious. Scroll down and you will find the option needed. If you don't see it let me know and I will try...

I saw a video that was done by a company in my state just recently flying in my local town for a marketing gig. Video was well done and as I was watching I was like that's shot from a UAV! Our town is completely covered by Class E Airspace and he actually flew the UAV about half mile from our...
