    Yes i do videos, but only for a first view. Then almost all the times, photos. For 3D mapping i have first a flight plan and then the uav take the pictures exactly were i want (less than 2 meters variations)

    Bridge Inspection with UAVs

    Ronan, don´t get me wrong... I have a PJ780 and i love it for video. I don´t want another camera for video shooting. (10X and 24 Mpix) I also in inspections shoot with the TZ61 from Lumix and its also a great camera and with an incredible zoom (30X and 18.1 Mpix) But i prefer to have my sony nex...

    Bridge Inspection with UAVs

    Hi Brigeinspector For me, video is not the way to do inspections on bridges or on any other structures. Its ok for a first look, but if you want to really see whats going on, you must have pictures, High res pictures and not pictures from "sports cams". Also forget the Sony 780/790 and look...

    Traveling with multirotors

    Well.. we are different countries, so for now it's all the same, still no rules here. But eventually INAC authorities may go the same way. I think that they don´t really know what to do, because even their definition of drones is laughable. For them, if is a military operation is a drone, and if...

    Traveling with multirotors

    As I said, there are not specific laws for UAVs in Portugal, and although I follow almost entirely the CAA rules, I must admit that fly over people is not one of them. I really think it is dangerous and should only happen in specific situations . But I also think that the European regulations...

    Traveling with multirotors

    jimmygixxer I already fly much closer of the airport with no problems, it was a special day (faro motorbike show), but there where a lot of policemen, and no problem as i said. For now as i have said, there is no entity that can approve or disapprove the flight, it's all a matter of common...

    Asctec

    i have a falcon 8 since early 2011, and at first look... yes its pricey. but when you have one, and do some work with it, you will find that it is not as pricey as you may think. It's incredibly stable. as a mater of fact, it seems like the more wind, more stable. once i have to fly with 40...
