"Thanks Clayton...
From your recommendation and after looking into the specs of the camera, we just ordered a Canon S100 for testing of mid altitude normal image survey mapping with our Skywalker planes.

"Hi Clayton.
Congratulations on your FAA exemption.
In response to your desire to connect with others, we are also using the 3DR products in both our aerial "Videography" and "Surveys" line of drone services. We have been hard at it for the last…"

"Thanks Eric for viewing our post and your suggestion.
We are always looking for improvements.
Does your recommendation mean that our Y6's would be flying backwards on every other row of survey mission?
Also, what command and/or parameters would we…"

"Thanks Henrique,
We carry a modified Canon PowerShot A810 (with standard lens) for the NDVI imagery. We fly the same mission with another "unmodified" A810 to capture the 16 mp images.
At some point, we hope to be able to afford using (and risking,…"

"Thanks Mayehem.
For the NDVI imagery, we use a Canon Powershot A810 with its sensor modified for Infrared with and a front RED lens filter. The captured infragram images are then processed to produce the NDVI images. We fly the same mission again…"

The video above attempts to provide a "Behind the Scenes" view of how we are capturing the NDVI composite images while working with a local farmer and a section of his wheat crop.The on board video, captured images, along with ground video and…
"Trent,
I am totally confident that you will master your technical difficulties in the air, but what I am most impressed with is how you have navigated around the social trash on the ground...

"Daniel,
I'm not an expert log reader like they other great developer guys, but I have had a lot of crashes over the last couple of years, and am starting to use the logs more and more for crash forensics.
In any case, I have taken a look at your…"

"Thanks Julian for your reply.
I'm somewhat confused.
You are right, my DragonLink's are hight quality.
If I just program the DragonLink receiver (at TX failure) to go to stick settings that will have the throttle raised to either still hover (and…"

"Thanks Choppy.
I know its a twisted feeling, but it sure felt good to hear that you still have nightmares of a similar crash.
I was so glad you documented a low voltage down to 3.2 volts from the APM supply. This is most certainly what caused my…"

"Thanks Jonathan,
for nailing an exact explanation to how APM's Failsafe and the PPM Encoder logic worked together to produce a DISARM while I for 400 plus feet high.
I will be starting the bench test everything on the rebuild with the dual power…"

"Thanks Henri,
My APM 2.5 is in a case. I've previously checked the foam and added black electrical tape on the top of the case to avoid sun rays.
In my rebuild, I'm adding a separate 3s 12volt Lipo for the FPV along with a separate 6 volt UBEC…"
