"Could the Disco be used for mapping? I read that the camera angle looking down is about 80° so not completely nadir."
"I heard that the camera's maximum angle looking down is 80° so not full nadir, but I wonder if it can still be used for mapping. Can anyone confirm?"
"I've worked with lots of US farmers and follow enough farmers on Twitter that collectively they probably own over 50,000 acres in the US Midwest. Nobody is using drones for anything more than glamour shots of their planting/harvesting/spraying…"

"Great summary and pictures."
"Why not report simulations of the damage caused by UAVs in incremental weights (1, 2, 3, 4, 5 lbs.)? These people have no curiosity."
"The IRIS+ will live forever through Thingiverse now."
"@Chris Anderson. Just curious, will the Sony gimbal and camera be for sale without the SiteScan license/subscription, like the GoPro and gimbal are sold at the moment?"
"Looking forward to NAB releases."
"I use the GoPro for surveys all the time, it's just so convenient due to weight and having the gimbal to stabilize the pictures. Buy PTLens for $20 or so, it corrects the fisheye distortion in a batch process (meaning that you don't have to correct…"

"The people at Steadidrone manufacture a UAV with a gimbal that fits a GoPro in its case. It's quite expensive, though."
"Did you get a final answer about what caused the crash?"
"400 ft. works nicely for agricultural imagery. Idaho is a great place, I did potato research and went regularly to Morey's steakhouse in Burley a few years ago."
"It's a secondary hobby of mine to correct fisheye distortions. Did you use a GoPro? Nice picture!"
