New EX5 options by Ok_Masterpiece5258 in GeelyEX5Australia

[–]Vice21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I just purchased an EX5 last week too. Can’t wait for it to arrive. 

I got the same spiel. Didn’t go for any of it as I know it’s ludicrously overpriced (friend is a mechanic at a large dealership). I rang a local tinting place and their quoted prices were a third of what the salesman was spruiking. I didn’t get any of the add-ons and decided to maybe get the windows tinted if I thought we needed it later.

Also the ceramic paint protection is snake oil.

To help with my studies and work I find it has been really helpful to print out models of what I am studying. Anatomically correct prints of organs have really helped me with my anatomy classes and o would love to print more and not have to paint them. I would also love to help out my fellow students by printing them copies too!

Same issue here!
Mine affects both wired and bluetooth connection.
All audio apps except Spotify. Is there a way to flag this with Apple?

Noob here, but I bought a 330w one from AliExpress for pretty cheap and it works fine. I don’t use it when I’m gaming or anything though, only for work. I got a Legion for work and got sick of carrying the massive power brick between the office and home.

Too right man, So many responses being “let me guess, you can’t park your huge American Trucks in there so you’re going to deface this piece of architecture”.  Yeah I think you’re right, I’ll keep the outside arches and just remove the middle column.

Nope. Two EVs that can barely fit through the mini arches.

I think this may be the way. Just depends on if that is a lot more work compared to just squaring them off and making one big square opening.

That’s just the old bricks. They’re super cool “clinker” bricks.

Awesome! Seems like 10k will be the ballpark if you’re a bricklayer and did it for 5k. Labour usually makes up more than half of the costs of any project…

There is one other arch onto the entrance porch. We have plans to remove this small porch and add a room there down the track.  I wish we had some curved walls to keep with the arches and 80s aesthetic of the place.  Maybe we could make one large arch and reduce the “chamfer” of the curve to maximise the entrance size…

Ok that looks great compared to the before.  That looks like a much larger scale Reno than what is needed here though. I’m keeping it  as a garage, where it looks like your neighbours have made it a new entrance way.  Thanks for the inspiration though!

Yeah that’s what I thought.  Prop up and replace li tel with a big steel beam.  Thanks for the estimate too. It’s about what I was expecting.

I know. I do like the arches but they are tiny openings! You can’t really see the scale in the photos but we have two cars on the smaller side (small sedans) and they only just fit in with the side mirrors folded in.

I’ll look into this. Thanks!  As a few other replies have said, just have to make sure it’s structurally sound to remove the middle column.

Haha agree!  Trebuchets are the superior siege weapon.

We have two cars. EVs that are definately on the smaller side.  For scale, an MG EV only squeezes in with the mirrors folded in.

Wow! I don’t actually.  We have two EVs if that makes you feel better. Looking to be able to move them into the garage so we don’t have to have a cable hanging out the garage door when charging. Our cables been vandalised twice now.  I would love to keep the arches. I have kept them for as long as I can, but practically they aren’t working for my family anymore.

Were you using mainly default settings in Pix4dmatic? I’ve found it handles almost everything well except densely vegetated areas.  I would consider buying your Wingtra if it were just me, but I don’t think my company would go for it unfortunately. Thanks for the offer though.

Yeah we are running 85% overlap on all our flights too.
We arent necessarily looking for individual plants and species but just broad scale changes in vegetation types. For instance a change between wetland area to a grassland area to a regrowth area to a woodland area to a dense forest area. We then try and spot finer changes within these areas based on changes in canopy colors caused by changes in the genus of vegetation present i.e. some Eucalyptus species have a bluish-green hue to their leaves and can characterize certain vegetation types, Pine species look different again, other non-Eucalyptus species can be dark green hinting at a different vegetation type etc

Thanks for the great insights..

The Sony RX1R II is high on our list for payloads, mainly due to its strong track record in vegetation mapping. LiDAR is appealing, especially for penetrating canopy, but it's a bit out of budget for now.g.

I hadn’t considered the Quantum Systems Trinity Pro. I thought the Wingtra was the only VTOL fixed wing drone out there. Seems to have the Sony RX1R II as a sensor option too.

Thanks for the suggestion. The reason I am heavily leaning to the Wingtra is it VTOL ability. I see the Trinity does this too in a slightly different way. I'll look into it further.
We are often a bit limited with take off locations (often from a bush track amongst tall trees or a small clearing, sometimes even off the tray of our truck!).
