Jeff Taylor replied to Rick Boden's discussion Platform for vertical photography"Hi Guilherme,
I'll respond in order to your questions:
1/3) The images are taken at a set interval of time, at shortest about 2.5 seconds. Getting 50% overlap isn't an issue except down-wind legs when the wind is strong; flying sideways…"
Guilherme S. Jorge Giorgi replied to Rick Boden's discussion Platform for vertical photography"Hi Jeff, I'm from Brazil and here, we use UAV's for Agricultural mapping, so, we need to generate products with several resolutions, according to the crop in the field. Based on it, I also have some doubts about your E3821 - Which overlap…"
Jeff Taylor replied to Rick Boden's discussion Platform for vertical photography"Hi Balazs,
I'll answer your questions by number:
1) The camera is automatically triggered by a script in the camera. The images aren't currently being geotagged, they can be orthorectified usually with optical data only.
2) I'm…"
Balazs Bagi replied to Rick Boden's discussion Platform for vertical photography"Hi Jeff,
I've got a few questions about your E382:
1.) How is the camera triggered, and is the data that is logged tagged to each image for easier orthorectification?
2.) What kind of telemetry system are you offering as an addon?
3.) What is…"
Jeff Taylor replied to Rick Boden's discussion Platform for vertical photography"Good luck! Happy to help if you run into any issues.
Jeff"
Rick Boden replied to Rick Boden's discussion Platform for vertical photography"Good advice. Looking forward to the learning curve! :-)
Thanks Jeff."
Jeff Taylor replied to Rick Boden's discussion Platform for vertical photography"Thanks, yes I am in the US.
I think foam works quite well.. it's easy to make adjustments, easy to repair and pretty difficult to damage. Foam would also do less damage to whatever it hits if it were to crash. If you wanted to fly really fast…"
Rick Boden replied to Rick Boden's discussion Platform for vertical photography"Hi Jeff,
Thanks very much. Starting with your plane is something I will consider. Are you in the US? Just thinking about shipping. Regarding the X8 flying wing, I have seen a couple of comments from people who say they don't…"
Jeff Taylor replied to Rick Boden's discussion Platform for vertical photography"Hi Rick,
To fit an NEX series camera sideways you may be forced into the flying wing option. The Maja fuselage is only a hair over 120mm wide so you'd have to cut out a lot of the side walls to get it to fit which may weaken that area a little…"

Hi All,I am very new but want to jump right in as soon as possible. My prime interest at the moment is vertical still photography (mapping, etc.) and I would like to order a fixed wing UAV and go from there. It will be a learning platform that I hope to use commercially at some point. Two models that were recommended are the X8 and MAJA and I am hoping to get some suggestions for which might be better or recommendations for another unit.My needs are:1. Stability in flight. 2. Performance and…See More
