Professional Photographer, Surveyor, dog lover.
Please tell us a bit about your UAV interest
I am keenly interested in using the capabilities of UAV's for mapping, topography, and other 'survey-related' functions. I am especially wanting to learn how to do these functions in very rugged BC terrain.

"Not sure but check the Flytron web site. They make all kinds of IR triggers for all kinds of cameras."
"I gave up on the Stratosnapper. Here is a link to a video that shows everything you need to do the same thing as the Stratosnapper but using a Flytron IR trigger instead. Easier and less cost.

"I have the same problem. My "Overshoot" field is also set to 0.
If you reduce overlap you also reduce the quality of the results.Pix 4D recommends 70% overlap (as does most other photogrammetry software).
Please explain how to correct this and have…"

"Danilo: could you try doing a coordinate transformation after creating the ortho? Just wondering if that can be done...?

"Oscar: Have you looked at the Escadrone system with the QX1. What's your opinion?
Thanks."
Thanks."
"Daniel: I have to agree with the others. This is one of the best "How To's" posted on this entire site. Very precise. Much appreciated.

"RPM: Thanks for the feedback. I personally don't use Tower any more. Too many issues. It is also lacking in sophistication compared to Mission Planner. That said, 3DR's "official" stand is that neither Tower or Mission Planner are supported for…"
"I emailed and asked 3DR about Mission Planner. Their reply: NOT compatible and not supported and there is no waypoint functionality in the Solo app as in Mission Planner. That makes Solo, in my mind, just another (albeit sophisticated) flying GoPro.…"
"Ryan: awesome coverage of your process. Have you uploaded your NEX7 mount design file to a place like shapeways.com? That way we could purchase it from you...
Looking forward to seeing this continue.
Best.

"Hoping this is the correct thread.
I have a 3DR X8+. I purchased the Mapping package.
Is it necessary to swap out the existing Pixhawk, the radios, the compass/GPS etc for the new ones that came in the mapping package?
Thanks for the help."

"Hugues: When you set up the StratoSnapper using the GUI what do you set as the channels? The choices are Push Button, 2 Way Switch, 3 Way Switch and Stick. But since I will be having the APM control the shutter by DO_SET_CAM_TRIGG_DIST what do I set…"
"Sreve: Temporarily I will use a GoPro 3 Black because that's the only gimbal/camera combo I can use. The NEX won't be on a gimbal because I want to make sure the idea works before I drop that amount of cash for a gimbal to hold the NEX.
If you have…"

"Steve: That's exactly how I was thinking about it at first and, in fact, that's essentially what I'd be doing.
For me the trick will be to have multiple 'vertical' images taken at the same waypoint (ie as the UAV climbs vertically).
Any ideas how to…"

"If you read through the PDF software manuals from PIX4D, Photomodeler, and Agisoft (for example) you can pretty quickly decide the best methodology based on how individual software packages utilize referencing etc.

Greetings: I am using a 3DR X8, Pixhawk with a NEX5 for standard mapping/photogrammetry. I want to map a cliff face. Is it possible to create an autonomous flight in Mission Planner that will photograph the face in a grid-style pattern up-down and…
