How Multispectral Sensors Guide Spray Plans

I use multispectral maps to decide where to scout - not where to spray. My starting point is calibrated imagery, with at least 75% forward overlap and 60% side overlap,...

Best Overlap for High-Resolution Field Surveys

Best Overlap for High-Resolution Field Surveys

I’d start with 80% front overlap and 70% side overlap for a standard RGB field survey. For dense canopy, repetitive rows, or uneven ground, I’d test higher overlap before flying...

XAG battery faults: software checks and resets

XAG battery faults: software checks and resets

If an XAG battery shows a fault, I don’t reset it first - I read the fault, check the live data, and decide if the pack should stay in service....

How GIS Connects with Drone Mapping Systems

If your drone maps don’t line up with field work, GIS is the missing link. I’d sum it up like this: GIS takes drone images, field borders, soil data, spray...
