I've now uploaded a 4K version of the video to

Sorry for the delayed response. I'd have to fly again and take more notice, however the battery was on the default setting, but I did spend around 3 mins getting it back and landing with it "in the red"

I reckon with a TB47 battery I got around 15 minutes, although there was quite a stiff breeze blowing, so I'd expect a bit more perhaps on a calm day.

Hi, TerraDat is my company that provides mapping services of the above and below ground. For many years we've used various platforms for photogrammetric modelling of a wide range of structures and the developments in remotely piloted aerial platforms have overtaken our earlier helium balloons...

The original 4K footage may be downloaded from http://www.terradat.co.uk/clients/DJI_0018.MOV I look forward to any comments! Nick

interesting observation - the wind was picking up as the shoot progressed, and the coal tip was acting as an accelerator for the airflow as well. Would a different shutter speed have countered this? Nick

Hi, Glad you liked my footage. The lens used was the DJI MFT 15mm F/1.7. I ordered the board and X5 kit directly from DJI website which took around 35 days to arrive in UK. I'll upload the raw 4K footage to this thread when I get some decent bandwidth. Best, Nick

Having received our X5 last week, I was keen to try it out over an abandoned site near our base in Wales. Footage benefitted from some colour grading and tweaks in FCPX and a few plugins, and on the whole, impressive stuff! - very well made and easy to install - the vibration board installation...

Ah ok, we use that too though have found Agisoft Photoscan gives preferable results. I just didn't realise that Pix4D did animations. Can't wait to get our hands on an X5 to do some testing!

Great animation and data. Could I ask how you made the animation? best Nick

Hello, do you sell the boom mount for the Trackimo device to mount on an Inspire 1? I'm in the UK. Thanks Nick
