    USA LAANC Authorizations in Active Regions

    Greetings, Has anyone used AirMap, Kittyhawk, etc to receive clearance to fly in a restricted airspace under the new LAANC program? It doesn't become active in my region until later this summer, so I was curious to get some feedback on it. Is it as easy as it's played up to be on the...

    GS Pro - Flight Logs / Telemetry?

    Hello, After a quick cursory search, I found only dated information on this subject, so apologies in advance for a potentially redundant post. For context, I'm using an M600 + Ronin MX w/ aftermarket camera for photogrammetry work. Does anyone know if it is possible to retrieve flight...

    Sent you a PM, curious to hear about your setup / type of work.

    USA Experience flying in DJI "Restricted Zone"?

    Gotcha. Thanks again for the quick response. GS Pro meets our needs pretty nicely when it comes to photogrammetry flight purposes. We use a 3rd party camera + PPK corrections on the images, so not many other apps allow for the UAV to fly on a calculated route like that without a DJI native...

    USA Experience flying in DJI "Restricted Zone"?

    That's really valuable feedback. Thank you for taking the time to respond. That sounds like a huge headache overall, but also a good opportunity if you're willing to deal with the hoops you have to jump through. Were these flights recent? I know updates happen fairly frequently, so it's...

    USA Experience flying in DJI "Restricted Zone"?

    Hello, I fly commercially in the US, and was looking to see if anyone has flown in a DJI Geo-Zone "Restricted Zone". These zones are shown in red on this map DJI - The World Leader in Camera Drones/Quadcopters for Aerial Photography. They require special unlocking from DJI to fly there. I...

    Map Pilot vs Drone Deploy vs ???

    You can use DJI's Ground Station Pro to control your M600 along flight lines. We do this on a regular basis with our M600 and a 3rd party camera. We don't use it for triggering the camera, just to control flight line spacing. I don't care for it as much as Map Pilot, but it will control the...

    M600 Defaulting to ATTI Mode During Flight

    We had it looked at by a drone shop in town. We have the regular M600, so take our "fix" with a grain of salt. Interestingly though, this never happened for us when we had an X5R on there, only after we upgraded to an aftermarket camera + Ronin MX gimbal. Apparently the front of the GPS...

    M600 Defaulting to ATTI Mode During Flight

    Negative, we're using a Sony A7R + Ronin MX. I haven't been able to find many other instances of it online, so I wonder if we just have a lemon or something.

    M600 Defaulting to ATTI Mode During Flight

    Hello, We've been having a recurring issue with our M600 where it will default itself back into ATTI mode shortly after take off on each flight. This is an issue because we're attempting to do mapping work using Ground Station Pro, and when it snaps into ATTI mode it will abandon its mission...

    Sony A7R Image Geotags?

    It is good, and so is their customer support. It's expensive, but seems to be worth it so far. Fairly plug and play solution to an issue that was way more complicated than it needed to be.

    M600 Control Malfunction w/ Ground Station Pro App

    Twice now, I've had Ground Station Pro give me a good scare with two near-flyaways. The first occurred with a Phantom 4 Pro a few weeks ago on a way point mission, and the second time today with our M600 on a mapping grid flight. Both instances occurred shortly after take off at an altitude of...

    Sony A7R Image Geotags?

    Thanks for the feedback. That device is similar to what we ended up going with. Field of View LLC We've done a couple test flights already and we've been incredibly pleased with the results. You can trigger based on distance or time elapsed. The calculations to determine either are fairly...
