    Anybody still flying the Inspire 1 with an XT thermal camera on it?

    I've used the setup that you talked about in the past and it worked out well, but through trial and error found that DroneDeploy is the absolute best at processing infrared. Other processing services have not been able to properly stitch the individual photos into a usable photo mosaic...

    Trying to sell my Inspire 2 kit on here is frustrating...

    BTW, I can't find any instructions anywhere on just how go about creating a listing on the Forum. Can anyone steer me in the right direction? I've been a long-time user, but not all that "active" in the strict sense of the term. Is it just a matter of creating a post after a member has...
