    How to Use RTK

    Thank you for this information. I have an Autel V3 RTK Drone and access to NTRIP through Missouri DOT. I think I understand now why I get the RTK not ready notification. I’ll connect my SmartController to my cellphone and then work to ensure I have the correct information in the RTK screen. I...

    How do you remove the blur when shooting signage at night?

    That is so good - and so helpful! Thank you for that. I have LR and Premier but (thankfully) for this job it wasn't needed, since I really need to spend some time with both applications to improve. Thanks again for your support! ~ EM

    How do you remove the blur when shooting signage at night?

    I made a couple of adjustments and shot a 3-burst AEB and got a much better result! Thanks for the recommendation.

    How do you remove the blur when shooting signage at night?

    I shot the original photo in .DNG and converted it to JPG in order to upload it here. How do I remove the blurriness around the signage? I'm flying an Autel Evo 2 8K, shooting at 100 ISO, in low light. If I can't remove it through adjustments in the drone camera settings, is there a way to...

    What happens to my drone if controller turns off?

    Sadly no. In the U.S. once you pass the FAA Part 107 Remote Pilot exam - you have a certificate (license) to fly commercially and recreationally. There are currently no hands-on proctored or monitored examinations required. I think it could be done, but it would require a standardization that...

    WebODM and Orthomosaics with Autel Evo II 8k

    I’ve been practicing orthos with my Autel 2 8k using the mission plan in the explorer app, and WebODM. Is there a free open source software solution to accurately mark GCPs? I’ve seen lots of subscription services and expensive GCPS like Propeller, etc., but don’t want to commit until I have a...

    What happens to my drone if controller turns off?

    I think it’s only a “stupid question” if you don’t ask it. Most of the folks here have been where you are or have enough shared experiences to “straighten out the learning curve” with or without the joking comments🙃 As for myself, I wanted to know the same thing, so I practiced a few times...

    New to Autel- sort of.

    [Uodate] I’ve started into photogrammetry Since responding to your post awhile back, I’ve eased into photogrammetry by using WebODM. This FOSS is simple enough to use and generates some very good results. Moreover, there are lots of tutorials on YouTube that experienced users have shared to...

    640T and Thermoconverter.

    As a noob to Autel II Dual 640t V2, I was thrilled to finally get the Autel IRPCTOOL 1.3.3. I’ve only been flying the thermal for a couple of months and since it doesn’t come with any useful manual specific to the 640t, I’ve been learning through trial and error, FLIR articles, and YouTube...

    Using Autel explorer app vs using controller by itself

    I actually fly using both as the situation dictates. Being able to shoot Panorama, and Hyperlapse are very cool, and occasionally I will use the Smart Orbit or Orbit functions as well. I don't notice any real difference when using Dual Stability, but I do like being able to quickly swipe and...

    Smart Controller instructions-II

    I've been using the middle one one for the charger and it's worked perfectly. Connect the USBC cable to the port between the USB and HDMI outputs.
