General Discussion / Re: Keeping the recorder camera height fixed

« Last post by ivan.zan.barbaric on September 26, 2022, 09:56:31 AM »

You unfortunately cannot import a 3D CAD line.
However, you can click the "Reset view" button in the top left corner, giving you a perfect bird's eye view. After that just click and hold the scroll wheel, and move around. This way you will stay at the same height at all times.
You can also try using the "Free flight" mode (fourth option to the right from the "Reset view" button), which mimics the drone's flight. You use the A, S, D, and W keys to move around, always staying at the same height.

General Discussion / Keeping the recorder camera height fixed

« Last post by mr.chy on September 25, 2022, 10:23:22 AM »

Hello.
I am trying to create a video along a proposed railway alignment over the acquired point cloud data using the "Recorder" feature. As I go along the alignment and keep adding "Camera" locations, it is becoming difficult to keep the height and the orientation angle of the multiple cameras same. I need to keep it same all through the video to ensure a smooth video fixed at the same height and orientation. Is there any procedure to create such a camera path with fixed camera orientation, like a 3D CAD line and import it as camera path?

Hello, so given the reply today I tested the free flight option with the Mini SE drone and it worked perfectly. It was a bit tricky at first but it was quite easy at the end. Thanks again!

Cheers.

Hi,
We have not yet tested DJI Mini SE, but the app does support similar drones like mini 1 and mini 2 in the new "Free Flight" mission, which takes the images automatically while you drive the drone manually. Images are taken according to the trigger distance you set at the beginning, creating enough overlap to achieve more than sufficient precision.

To answer your second question, the new version now contains the camera settings within the 3Dsurvey pilot app making the general workflow way simpler.
The app also contains a couple of new convenient missions, which however do cost around 5€ a month.

Mission planning / Drone Won't Start a Mission unless it is inside the boundaries

« Last post by kimbrrly.olsen on September 01, 2022, 10:16:38 AM »

I am using a DJI Phantom 4 Pro Plus with GL300C Version B controller and Lenovo M8 Gen 2. When I create a mission, it will successfully upload to the drone but the drone will not takeoff. Pressing the takeoff button just loops back to the mission map. If I move the drone to within the boundaries of the mission which is very close by- 20 m to the start point, the drone will launch. This is not very practical for commercial mission of the type that I do.

I've had the same behavior from Pix4D capture

Mission planning / DJI Mini SE and 3DSurvey Pilot

« Last post by ocar.campos on August 31, 2022, 06:29:12 PM »

Hello guys;

Long time user of 3DSurvey Pilot with a phantom 4 pro v2.0 and an iPad but this time I am testing new and lighter gear;

Drone: DJI Mini SE.
Phone: Pixel 6.
App: 3D Survey Pilot App.

3D Survey Pilot recognizes the drone and I am able to configure the mission with no problems. But, app keeps poping the following message:

"Failed to get focus upper bound. The feature is unsupported".

Anyways I keep operating the app until launching the mission. Here every preflight check passes but uploading the mission to drone where I get:

"Mission upload failed: The system is too busy to execute the action".

So, I can not actually fly the mission. This leads me to ask here;

- Is the DJI Mini SE supported by 3D Survey Pilot?
- If so, am I missing something in the new version of the app for android? (I am used to the old version of the app)

Thanks in advance!

Attached 2 pictures with SS from the phone with the messages.

Mission planning / Re: There is a serious problem when shooting with a 3D Survey Pilot.

Dear hyeon,

as describe already on previous post this sound to me as a failure of drone gimbal.
3Dsurvey Pilot control just the Camera angle (Pitch) and not the rotation of the camera.

Best, Marko.

Dear hyeon,

3Dsurvey Pilot App control just the camera angle (Pitch) and not the rotation of the camera. Seem to me that this could be a gimbal issue from the drone. My suggestion is to do a gimbal calibration with the help of DJI App and test how it works on new test flight.

After you finish with the mission we set prepare the drone for landing and turn the camera angle to 0 degrees - horizontal position. In this case there is minimum option to damage the camera lens during the landing.

In case you will do the gimbal calibration and test flight please let us know if this solve your issue with camera.

Mission planning / If you return to home in the 3D Survey Pilot, the camera turns.

When you finish shooting at the 3D Survey Pilot and return to home, the drone camera turns.
Why is that?
There are no symptoms like that in DJIGO4 app, and it returns to home normally.
What is the solution?
There seems to be too many problems with the 3D Survey Pilot app.

Equipment used: Mavic 2 Pro, Samsung Galaxy Tab S7+ (Android Ver.12)
