"It shouldn't be a problem, there's been a few flights around 1.5 hours, including this one:
1:25 flight
With a little weather/flight planning and a good 3s setup, 100k should be attainable. If you're going for ultra endurance,…"

healthyfatboy commented on Patch Thompson's blog post Finally, thermal IR imaging for Smartphones:"There's supposed to be a smaller FOV version of this same sensor released at some point from what I heard from Max, the original guy that did the cheap thermocam. With the smaller FOV, it'll help narrow things down a bit but I don't…"

"Btw, I hope everyone knows I was just kidding about berating Starbucks baristas.
I never go to Starbucks ; )"

"Does the price jump up terribly for the 33x64? For something like crop management, resolution would not need to be very high, but some more altitude would be useful for sure."

"Think of this as proof of concept, things are moving very quickly in these times. I'm applauding the idea for what it can become, it's an infant now for sure. Project forward just a few months and we will have somebody developing a GoPro…"
healthyfatboy commented on Patch Thompson's blog post Finally, thermal IR imaging for Smartphones:"I was actually thinking of making my own Android program to do the same thing but looks like he's doing it himself so I'll leave it up to him to finish up!
The original idea of a cheap thermal camera came from Max Ritter and is documented…"

"Paul, low cost thermal overlay could be used on a drone for all kinds of things- industrial inspection, crop management, search and rescue, etc."

"Jhon,
That's the point. By overlaying thermal and visual images, a low res (cheap) thermal imager can be used. The relatively high res visual image maintains a context for the coarse thermal image. This is not meant to be a night vision device,…"
Jhon commented on Patch Thompson's blog post Finally, thermal IR imaging for Smartphones:"quite poor resolution, isn't it?"

Patch Thompson commented on Chris Anderson's blog post Erk. My home town, Berkeley, wants to establish a "no drone zone""Maybe the next employee you hire at 3DR should be a lobbyist???? There must be a few, here in the ranks of DIYDrones.com, no?"
Patch Thompson commented on wayne garris's blog post Techpod production update"Great work! Where can we find information on Recommended Power Systems for the Techpod? It would be great to begin compiling set ups for performance evaluation.

estebanflyer said… Hey Patch, I was wondering if you were in Toronto these days, I'm trying really hard to make my quad fly with no success, everything works perfectly: GPS lock, xbee, radio modes, battery cells measurement, ESC calibration, compass, sonar.... I'm stuck at PID's, the copter takes off in a very sluggish way, no matter how I tweak the PID's I always end in a crash, so I thought I might as well pay someone for their time and save money on propellers. (Also save time in balancing them)
Please let me know if you are available. I am at Dufferin and Bloor, but if you want I can take all my gear to you. My phone number is 905 616 8482 (not long distance; Mississauga). As I said, I'm willing to pay for your time. All I want is to have the quad flying.
Please help me out!
