pic upload didn't work.

After conducted about 20 missions in the Arctic with the Inspire Pro we found that the most reliable mapping method was to use Litchi waypoints as follows: 1. Use Mission Planner PC software (survey Grid tool) to first plan altitude (resolution), desired frontal and side % overlap, and then...

still helpful info! Plus we will be using a P3 Advanced as our backup, which probably works similarly to the X3 for MapPilot. We will do some mapping comparisons between the two cameras and I can post the results here.

One other thing - are you using manual infinity focus or do you let autofocus do the job? I would think that using infinity focus properly calibrated to the hyperfocal distance might be more reliable for mapping.

IrishSights - are you finding the MapPilot is limited to 3 second triggering or 4 seconds? (looks like 3 seconds when I plan a mission, but MME told me they use 4 seconds). With my previous Pixhawk set up, I could cover about 15 ha with a 13 min, 10 m/s mission triggering a Sony a6000 at 1...

Thanks for the comments. I've looked at a few mapping apps so far and Map Pilot seems to be the most advanced and flexible to me. I'm going to do a test this week to see what kind of shutter intervals I can get manually during a Litchi mission because MP limits the X5 to 3+ second intervals...

Hi - I am about to start testing the Inspire Pro for doing various high-overlap (80-90%), high resolution (1-3 cm) structure from motion mapping applications. I have been using an Arducopter / Mission Planner based solution up until now. Does anyone have a favorite app or technique that they...
