"Yeah that is just the HobbyWing one just with a different label on it.. or the other way around.
I have one but haven't fired it up yet... seems like a good idea."

LanMark commented on Andy Horka's blog post My New Gimbal"wow better design then the DJI one which has the gimbal motor on the opposite side causing the camera's lens center to by quite a ways off axis. One would think for a grand that you would get better design from DJI.. who knew."

LanMark commented on Joshua Ott's blog post Thirty days of awesomeness (#5): Something new is coming"Opps, didn't realize UAV had been in the tagline for a long time.
I realize they are one and the same technically.. however the word drone as posted in many threads on here has a bad rap. Personally I never say the word 'drone'…"
LanMark commented on Joshua Ott's blog post Thirty days of awesomeness (#5): Something new is coming"What I am confused about is why are you using 'UAV' as the tagline of the 3DR ? Is there a move to using that over 'Drone'? Shouldn't it be 'drone technology' tag line?"
LanMark commented on Lorenz Meier's blog post Help Us Improving the Status Feedback of APM and PX4!"I don't think blink codes are copyrightable material.. so why not follow the DJI blink codes?

LanMark commented on Thomas J Coyle III's blog post The World’s First Solar Powered Quadcopter"It must be nice to live in a world without wind :) nothing like making a giant kite.

LanMark commented on Duran - SteadiDrone's blog post SteadiDrone goes brushless"do you have renderings or pictures of what the other bracket looks like? does it support adjustment to center the lens to the axis centers?

LanMark commented on Duran - SteadiDrone's blog post SteadiDrone goes brushless"sweet.. do you have rough pricing with the gimbal controller?"
LanMark commented on Duran - SteadiDrone's blog post SteadiDrone goes brushless"does it support a 230g point and shoot camera like a Canon ELPH? :) (I figure if I keep asking someone would stop making GoPro specific stuff and open the doors to many more customers that personally don't like GoPro, especially in the…"

Sorry for the slow responce, your choice of frame is great I have been flying mine for about 1.5 years and have had no complaints. It is well desigened and has allot of room to do whatever you want. I like the cover it looks good and is great for protection of the electronics. I do have other pics if you want to see how I mounted stuff.
Good luck and have fun.

Tim Woodward said… Mark,
NDVI (and derivatives) can be a very useful tool in precision ag. I currently use an index based on the visible spectrum that works well with my precision ag consulting. But using the visible spectrum has its limitations (able to identify shifts in productivity, but unable to quantify the level of productivity). Basically, I'm able to define management zones, but unable to say whether they are high-yielding or not. NDVI is the next step, especially with variable rate populations, nitrogen, and weed-control.
My goal is in line with your train-on-thought...use affordable UAVs to capture high quality imagery that typically is either cost-prohibitive or poor resolution.
P.S. My background is in Agronomy (crops and soils) with very little experience with software, electronics, etc....well actually enough experience to get me in trouble.
Keep in touch.
