A bit late... I'm using as much as +/- 80% overlap and 65% sidelap ; speed in relation to altitude, GSD and the camera definition (using a gross approximation with basic trigonometry) for processing with ODM. The terrain makes a huge difference, if it's mostly low buildings or vegetation it's...

So far the only times my Anafi flew away were when the GPS was not yet perfectly set when starting the flight or the mission - as mentioned by ParrotAnafiFan. It's really easy to be distracted or in a hurry and forget to check that tiny icon, make sure it's green, and even better wait for the...

Does it work well for you? Both with the controller and with direct wifi connection to the Anafi? I finally installed Win 11 but now I'm suspicious as they say you need Amazon store (and Amazon account) in addition to the subsystem... I don't want to corrupt my Win 11 installation that works...

I often fly until the battery is really low (Iknow, I know...), but mostly in areas with no wifi interferences, and I only had issues when the GPS on the drone was not perfectly set BEFORE takeoff. It's basic stuff, but sometimes one may forget to check that small icon, or it switches back from...

Also every time you fly, make sure the drone has a precise home GPS position, before take off (or a few dozens meters above your own position if trees or obstacles prevent a good GPS signal on the ground). Sometimes it take a few minutes for the GPS to get a precise position, if the drone is...

If position is still an issue with more recent Parrot pictures, you can look at "ImportPhotos" a plugin for QGIS. I'm using it to check the results of the flight plans done with my 'own' plugin, so I know it works - at least with the the Anafi 4K! But I don't see any orientation data, and I...

I get good results with ODM. I'm using the console version that seems easier to install on Windows than WebODM with the graphical interface. Just place the photos in a /dir/images folder, then run it, maybe have to play a bit with parameters. It wasn't as bad as I feared (provided you have...

Let's hope this is not a 'feature' of the latest firmware update, to follow EU's rules? I haven't checked the forum about that! Like you have now to remove any tilt from the takeoff block in FlightPlan, else the mission just doesn't start anymore, this didn't happen with previous FW. I just...

No luck with those high latitudes! QGroundControl looks great although I'm curious to see how it handles the Anafi. Also if you lose the wifi connection, will the flight plan go the the end? My main issue would be that apparently you still need to register and connect to the internet to plan the...

One year later, have you found something more about this json file specs ? I see that a few questions about savedPlan.json on parrot developer forum didn't get any answer... experimenting seems to be the only way. I'm curious about programming 'gps lapse' in the flight plan, instead of 'Period'...

Interesting... I also found a local source for higher resolution terrain. I think they offer both the ground map, and the "features" map, ie buildings, trees ?, and other obstacles. I didn't look at the latter, yet. I'm not familiar at all with Mavlink, QGroundcontrol or GroundSDK, I'm using a...

I'm curious about what sources you plan to use for terrain elevation, are you doing a 3D model first (eg with ODM) with your own data ? Or is the 'low res' data available online good enough for you, opentopography.org, Nasa, etc ?

OK, of course I have a tilt value different than 0 in all my plans ! Weird bug, but it would be 'fine' if this correction solves the issue. I'll check as soon as I can... Edit: That solved the problem, Thanks !

My Anafi won't start flight plans anymore. Everything looks fine on the FreeFlight6 screen, no error message (nor in the .json file from the drone). Manual flight with FreeFlight6 is still fine, both with the controller and with the smartphone alone. Same with FlightPlan, I can select and modify...

The tablet has both WIFI and GPS, but with another app that started correctly, I could not use wifi to connect to a camera. With FreeFlight it was even worse, it was just stuck on the first screen, I couldn't do anything. Of course the goal would be to use the controller instead of wifi, in the...
