Hi. I'm thinking about building a fixed wing base, to use as base for a camera intended for photogrammetry. I have access to Context Capture. I'm thinking of something rather lightweight, meaning do super heavy long lense stuff on board. Any suggesti

Read more…Hi guys,
I have a Tarot X6 960 with 3DR Pixhawk FCU.
Until now, I made 3D mapping and orthophoto with a DJI Phantom 3 Professional, post-processing the images in Pix4D.
I would buy a camera to do mainly 3D mapping and orthophoto with the Tarot X6.
I just

It is working fine but due to the 50mm field of view I have to fly at 200m height, and missions take a lot of time. The other lens I have is a 12mm (24mm e

I really like the idea behind the Propeller Aeropoints. Those are basically GCP targets with integrated PPK GPS. They are quite expensive, about $6.000 USD for 10 pieces, but that's still cheaper than a professional surveyor-grade RTK system, and

We at Airborne Projects have been busy testing and getting feedback on our new product DROTAG that allows your Sony Alpha camera (A5000/A5100/A6000) to be triggered by any APM with a telemetry port. It also tags your images in flight with t

I have made several missions using the Do-Set-Cam-Trigg-Dist command and a distance of 6 meters.
But the number of shooted photos considering the distance the copter flew from first to last waypoint is about the half .

until now I made 3D mapping and nadir photography without any ground control points.
Next week I'll have to map a terrain on a slope, and I would use ground control points to get precise results.
I'm using a DJI Phantom 3 Professional and Pix4D,
