This is precisely why we don't hand-catch UAS. Especially not in high winds

Just processed this in #Pix4dMatic during the UCLS survey show in Southern Utah. Amazing how clean pointclouds can be with the right camera.

When they go low, go lower. The difference is MAGA intelligence vs normal intelligence. Go harder with smarter. Box em' in and pulverize them like you, Crockett, and a few other young, courageous legislators are doing. Not a Dem, but a big fan in NV.🇺🇸

This simply cannot be accurate. He's obviously unfamiliar with aviation terminology.

if you haven't caught the story of the LA (canadian) fireplane/UA collision; here it is.
www.cnn.com/2025/01/10/u...

Note that the most intact part of the UA is the battery. Batteries are harder than a softball. Softballs at speed will break windshields and do significant harm.

This is what Dick flew during a TFR.
Lives depend on you not being a Dick.

This is the drone found inside the wing of a firebombing plane. It punched through the leading edge of a wing.
As fire fighters say, "If you're flying, we can't be flying."
Keep your UA/drone on the ground, even if you believe "that little thing can't cause harm"

This egg farm scan shows why small sensors aren't ideal for aerial mapping. .5 sensors aren't made for any kind of serious mapping or accuracy. We ended up "fixing" this for the client. Tho not perfect, it's not bad.
