atomz replied to Paulo Neves's discussion Sony Alpha5000 APM triggered and geo-tagged in Terrain/Surface Mapping
"Hi Paulo,
Thanks for sharing your progress with the A5100.  I would love to see the file for the 3D printable gimbal for the camera.  I'm not sure if you would post here or need an email to send the file to.
Thanks so much again! mb"

"Hi Gerard,
Thank you for taking the time to leave such detailed feedback regarding this inquiry!  Since making this post I have confirmed that this task is possible when using Agisoft Photoscan, pix4d and MosaicMill.  I'm sure other software can…"

atomz replied to Mark Brown's discussion Agisoft Photoscan vs Pix4uav
"I've been very happy with Photoscan results for 3D models but have had less luck producing orthos which retain the integrity of linear features (power lines) across multiple images. Example.png attached.   Any recommendations on software that will…"

atomz replied to atomz's discussion Canon SX260 HS Altitude Errors
"Gents, thanks for the feedback.  This seems to be a popular camera with many (at lease for fixed wings) but I guess it doesn't work as well underneath a quad.  My next step will be to sync the logs to get better data but I agree with James that a…"

Hello All,I have recently been experimenting with a Canon SX260 HS for creating orthos and have discovered large discrepancies in the recorded altitude positions stored in the EXIF data.  Over the course of a few weeks I would sometimes have data…

"Thanks Mark.  Did you receive the out of range warnings when you loaded the new parameters for Iris+?  
My Iris was acting strange before the upgrade so I wonder if the values were related or just coincidental?
20.5 minutes of flight time sounds…"

"Hi Kate,
Did you figure this out?  My channel 3 pwm values don't change either when I turn transmitter on/off. I'm not sure what I'm missing here and how to adjust calibrate this. Were you able to get them set to be plus/minus 10 of FS Pwm?
Thanks…"
