One company I know of does not do post processing in house but uses 'Stockpile Reports' at what is to them a reasonable cost when you factor in the cost of an employee doing the work. Around $5000 a year was a figure I heard. They are attempting to bring some of the stuff in house but are like...

It is free in Canada also

Company I work for in Canada does use a surveyor for stockpile measurements. A few years back they began using a company called Stockpile Reports and used their cell phones to take walk-around pictures of their stockpiles. The pictures were used by Stockpile Reports to give a quantity of the...

I did the P3P antenna mod for video - quite simple just take your time, follow the instructions . 5.8 antenna change would require opening the bird. For the 5.8 control I bought a 'windsurfer' parabolic reflector. Just flew a 2000 metre test flight with good video feed all the way - but a video...

Just test flew the P3P antenna mod on my P3S. Test in open rural field - no or little 2.4/5.8 interference. No obstructions along flight path. Height 50 to 60 metres. Before mod I would loose video feed around 800 to 1100 metres, control signal loss about the same, but a 1000 metre flight was...

I am cheap so... Granola Box sunshade! Step 1 - eat granola bars Step 2 - use liberal amount of DuctTape Step 3 - use ball cap to prevent glare from bald head :D *probably works as well as any out there other than a complete hood*

I feel for you. I get a similar message that says to remove restrictions in settings - I have none there of course. I also did the log out and log in dance several times with Go with no luck. Even uninstalled and reinstalled Go with no luck ( logging in and out dance too). Litchi flys fine and...

P3S cracked under rear motors. I do not know when the cracks occurred as I just happened to be reading that people were seeing cracks and I decided to have a look. Had less than 6 hours of flight time - nothing radical as it was spaced out over ten months or so. Sent the aircraft to DJI and it...
