Hi!

I am considering the purchase of a M2EA but I would like to see what data is produced in an automated survey flight. I cannot find any dataset online.

Does it create a "survey" folder like the P4RTK? Is there any metadata when flown with the RTK attachment (like the rinex file provided by the P4RTK)?

I would love to get my hands on the result of a tiny auto survey sample dataset.

I know this is an old thread but it's still worth stating that the M2EA is NOT designed or appropriate for high-precision survey use. Even with RTK, the way it is implemented w/ no precise time sync does not yield precise geotags for the images recorded. The RTK provides improved precision for navigation only.

Hope you didn't buy one with survey work in mind. I know people that did and they were very disappointed.

Hei!

We ended up getting one anyways, since we had some use cases where the geotag location requirements were a bit lower and the thermal requirements were really just in the relative and not absolute. I still tried doing surveying work with it, and it's sadly quite limited indeed. The thermal sensor drift and the absence of a first party raw data extractor are real pains.
