I'm flying first LiDAR project this week. I'm hoping there's some experts out there who might be able to give me some pointers and other advice to make this first one go as smooth as possible. I'm using my matrice 300 and they are giving me a Zen use L1 to use. My plan is to just use DGI pilot...

FH2 works until you are in the backwoods somewhere with no cell service. We have used it but we needed a single solution that always works for us. And as a govt entity we did get push-back on transmitting data thru a chinese company's infrastructure. personally i dont think the chinese cares to...

have you looked at the price of a second controller? not using an ipad - this is an M30T controller.. see above comment In the field doing SAR being tethered to a large screen (that may or may not even be available) isnt the best way for a pilot to work. We have since added a screen to the back...

very good info on the LP12. thanks for putting this together

I am signing up for my included DJI maintenance for my m30T. Has anyone used this program? I am tempted to ship it in the existing case as this is probably the best protection and will hold the remote and batteries properly... What have others done? thanks Mike

love this!

unless you need all weather performance, my experience says that the Mavic 3 Enterprise Thermal will better meet your needs. the M30 is big and bulky and alot more $$ than the Mavic 3T. the M30T has a separate battery charging case, and the batteries are more $$. the Mavic 3 offers a little...

I have the m30T and don't have this issue at all - however i do typically use the free NTRIP networks for RTK. Not sure that matters as many times when i get close to the ground its signal is not very strong. You may have already tried some of these suggestions below, if you have please let us...

my bad - i had posted an amazon app store link, but that only supports the M3 series. Looking at DroneDeploy support it doesn't look like they support the Matrice 30 series at all. When i get these dronebase/dronedeploy jobs i typically fly the dronedeploy stuff with my M3E and then redo the...

I used Polaris for awhile and it seems like a viable solution, however I managed to get my issues with NY CORS worked out and its a free and viable solution for my area. If i go outside of my area I will definitely use Polaris vs D-RTK 2 purchase!

i just tried this and i get the same thing. have you tried checoing the units setting in the controller and see if it switched you back? I cant confirm it because for some reason my controller doesnt show the color scale that you have in your screenshot...

well, i havent tested this yet, but you can chock this one up to me not knowing my aircraft, controller specifically. theres a mode switch on the top left of the controller that was set to sport. flipped it to N and the error went away. Need to attempt a flight to confirm, but im guessing this...

I was trying to complete my first thermal mapping mission with the M30T and of course I didn't test it before driving out to the site. Oops.. When I tried to execute my mission in pilot2 I received an error I could not get past. It said "Please change the flight mode to N-Mode". I was already...

im looking for an LP12 for my M30T. I know its a long shot but i am hoping to pick one up for less than retail, as thats not in my budget at the moment... :)

I have built a command screen for fire and SAR for my department. Pretty much based on the FDNYs setup. harbor freight apache case, APC battery backup, amazon potable HD monitor. i used a combo of the foam that came with the monitor and the pluck foam that came with the case. heavy duty velcro...
