@dpresasnyc @JCourses No problem! It will stay online. It’s just that the live component will end in a couple days because the last of the four modules is now live. I hope you find it all useful!

@mikeonline @DarkAlmond If you do run a comparison please let me know. I’d like to share your results with the MOOC cohort.

[Ben Kreimer @benkreimer]

@mikeonline I don’t know right now, but I’ll let you know when I do! I’d like to spend some time in the southwest next winter, in which case I would have my bike, and maybe a drone…

@Mohammed_Maisha I love the Stone Town VR project! I’ve got a paid opportunity for you on a project I’m currently working on. Can you follow me back so I can send you a direct message?

We're doing the final tests of the @insta360 camera system before embarking on extensive field work as a part of the Digital Public Works project.

@lakitalki @DarwinBondGraha A waiver is still needed, or the drone must weight 0.55 lbs or less.

[Ben Kreimer @benkreimer]

@webjournalist Ha! I used it earlier this year. Sometime this past spring.

[Ben Kreimer @benkreimer]

@webjournalist Yes, I’ve played with that feature a little bit!

Good to know...

[Azad Balabanian @Azadux]

I recently discovered that the Mavic Air 2 does NOT support any waypoint mission planning (so no support for Drone Deploy, Litchi, Pix4D, etc)

Not because it can’t, but probably to incentivize people to go up a tier to Mavic 2 Pro/Zoom for these more professional features

[Ben Kreimer @benkreimer]

@nebulousflynn @Azadux @AlexTench I use a Mavic Pro 2 and the DJI GS Pro app. For learning:

-I have a section about drone photogrammetry principles in my @Journalism_360 guide:

-@DroneDeploy also has good advice: https://t.co/o5lK1Ngv2t

Check out their capture app too.

@BenSchwartzXR @Azadux @anshelsag I recommend 64gb of ram, so I would pass on Alienware. M15s max out at 32gb that is soldered down at the factory. The m17 supports 64gb (also soldered), but it’s not portable at 9lbs with a 17” screen. Some Asus 15” ROGs support 64gb. Zephyrus Duo = 48gb.
