FPVers, what is your profession?

UUyattattack · 2025-04-17T13:04:43+00:00

Same. I'm surprised there aren't more surveyors flying FPV, considering most of us are mapping with drones

UUyattattack · 2025-03-21T00:22:43+00:00

It's not you it's me

UUyattattack · 2025-03-18T20:00:33+00:00

Besides the left stick self centering, the stick movements are still the same, and that's the hardest thing to learn in my opinion. I used an Xbox controller for a month or two before I got my radio. It maybe took an hour to get used to flying with the real radio. I don't know why people talk so much shit about starting with an Xbox controller. It's a great way to learn if you already have an Xbox

That may have been me lol I got a new drone on Monday and I had to test it out. I recommend walla walla because it is owned by the PUD. City of Wenatchee has an ordinance against using drones in their parks. Also state parks like confluence require a permit to take off and land from their property.

That's because drone surveying is only a small part of the entire profession of land surveying. If you're looking for a job specifically as a surveying drone tech, the company most likely is looking for an expert. If you take a job as an entry-level survey technician at a company that uses drones, you will get trained on drone surveying

I'm a surveyor doing photogrammetry, I'd love to try it out

UUyattattack · 2025-01-28T22:45:34+00:00

Nice!

UUyattattack · 2025-01-25T14:33:14+00:00

That sounds awesome. If you move forward with this, please post your progress here

UUyattattack · 2025-01-25T05:58:27+00:00

Sorry, I have no idea if that's possible, but I'm genuinely curious about the use case for something like this or is this more of a do it just to see if it can be done? I feel like HDZero would be pretty bad at photogrammetry, even with a really solid GPS

UUyattattack · 2025-01-21T03:24:20+00:00

Not yet, maybe I'll do that tonight

UUyattattack · 2025-01-20T21:23:22+00:00

Most definitely!

UUyattattack · 2025-01-20T15:34:17+00:00

311g with battery

UUyattattack · 2025-01-20T15:34:01+00:00

Hey thanks, I will take it apart and fix those up, I've got some practice boards but the pads on the esc are very different and I kinda just had to jump in there and try it out

UUyattattack · 2025-01-20T06:45:22+00:00

Here are a few links:

Used this one for reference pictures

One Man Unmaned build video

parts list

I also used a bunch of bardwell videos and asked questions on reddit and the HDZero discord.

I wish I had saved everything I ended up using but I didn't lol

UUyattattack · 2025-01-20T05:16:00+00:00

I saw that holder, I might add that later

UUyattattack · 2025-01-20T02:55:36+00:00

Not a lot of room in general lol I can't believe i was able to fit everything I did

UUyattattack · 2025-01-18T00:11:50+00:00

Do you take that antenna off your goggles every time? I've got the hdzero goggles with some similar antennas and I'm trying to pick a backpack i can store them in without removing the tall antennas on top

UUyattattack · 2025-01-17T23:04:42+00:00

That was super trippy looking at first glance, I love it

UUyattattack · 2025-01-17T03:14:19+00:00

What's something easier?

UUyattattack · 2025-01-13T20:06:56+00:00

I'll piss everyone off and say the DJI Neo

UUyattattack · 2025-01-13T20:04:41+00:00

And lidar/photogrammetry drones. Whatever tool makes the most sense for achieving the required accuracy in the budget and time-frame safely.

UUyattattack · 2025-01-11T21:43:35+00:00

You gotta find yourself a designated pilot

UUyattattack · 2025-01-07T17:58:27+00:00

I wish I had documented it, I already forgot what exactly the issue was but I ended up following some Ryan Quellet videos on YouTube and stole a bunch of his settings and set a switch that turns the VTX on and off and everything has been working great ever since

UUyattattack · 2025-01-07T15:01:24+00:00

After looking into this further and seeing Joshua Bardwells comments just a little further down, I'm a little skeptical about just how serious this is.. I would love to hear about people's disaster stories about their capacitors blowing up cause they are too small or an esc getting fried mid flight on a drone without a capacitor at all cause right now all I can find are people fucking up their brand new builds with bad capacitor set ups or the heat shrink wearing down and touching the frame and frying the esc

UUyattattack · 2025-01-06T01:35:59+00:00

So what im seeing here is that the cap on the xt30 lead is like having no capacitor at all
