Just above the Roof. for mapping.

My house has a solar light , 3 years. Good design solar roof

Nice shot,   and a local McDonalds for lunch if you're desperate.

These plazas usually have something with a little better fare. We found a nice Mexican place where we could eat a little healthier and charge up some of the batteries while eating.

Nice,   I don't eat fast food so finding something else is always good.

I try not to. I have changed my eating habits.  try not to eat processed food anymore. I feel so much better eating meat, vegetables and fruits. Natural and organic. If you can it's a much better lifestyle but hard when you're on the road.

Very nice low hovering shot.    Close to Speedway for gas and McDonald's for lunch.

That was the height that they asked me to do an automated map flight. 65ft. Some of the telephone poles and trees were at the height. I'm not a big fan of letting the software do the flying.  I fly up and scout the area at that height for obstacles before letting the drone do it's thing.

That's a great policy to follow for safety.  I wish more and more power companies would put their lines underground.  Here in southern Florida it is pretty much a necessity due to the prevailing winds we get off both the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico and then there is always the threat of hurricanes.

It's so much more attractive to have your wiring underground.

It certainly is.  I like underground utilities because they are protected from wind, wildfire, weather, tree branches and damage from most animals.  The are less susceptible to outages from vehicles colliding with poles.It also reduces risk of electrocution from downed lines.

I really don't know why they still use telephone poles. I would assume in the cities breaking up the gound is more expensive.

Using telephone poles is just asking for trouble in my opinion.

There no fun to fly around either. No NYC is adding free wifi locations too. These antenna zap the drones. The interference is no joke.

No doubt adding more and more wifi hot spots will only degrade signal strength from RC to the drone will be drastically reduced.

When they were building these antenna It rythmically cut my signal from 5 bars to 2. Once it was fully installed I lose a bar or two when over it.

Quite an array of solar cells.

Wow, that is quite a bit of signal loss.

It seems the programs to reward corporations are worth it.  They are going up everywhere.

I'm in favour of that

Nice to see so many solar panels in use - great shot

Thank You Codger.

Sure it feeds the grid and cuts their costs. Win-win.

I'm thankful it was only for a few seconds every minute or so.

I'm wondering now when DJI will come out with a drone that features Ocusync 5?

I'm sure it's on the drawing board.

We need it for even better signal strength.

As new interference comes in they keep adding strength. That's a good thing.

BetterBizTech Posted at 3-26 04:10

For sure.  Also, they keep adding antennas.

There are four on the Mavic 3E I got 31 satellites the other day.

Wow, that's great.  I think the most I've gotten here is 26 but usually it varies to around 20 Sats.

Every other drone got no more than 21 for me. It adds just a little more confidence.

Yes, that is a huge improvement.

Thanks,

I have to go back out and shoot that on Eater Sunday.

Cool industrial shot
