Arnaud Vandecasteele replied to Arnaud Vandecasteele's discussion Is the Solo good for mapping and surveying ?
"Hi Jaime,
After your post I've tried again to use Tower and I've finally found where to click to get the survey option. This was not quite obvious, but I found it :)
Regarding your custom board, would it be possible to have more details ?

Arnaud Vandecasteele replied to Mark Brown's discussion Does anyone here use a Sensefly eBee with Agisoft Photoscan?
"Hi Mark,
I've got an eBee and I can confirm that you can use both Postflight Terra (Pix4D) or Photoscan for post-processing. What you get after a eBee fly is a set of pictures, so you can do whatever you want.
