It’s Friday yah! In today’s show we start with China retaliating against our decision to shut down their Houston Consulate; The RNC had to backtrack it’s way to Charlotte and a virtual convention this year, after berating NC Governor Roy Cooper for sayin basically the same things, it ain’t safe; Washington DC has a new football team name, and it’s quite anticlimactic, for now; Russia is apparently starting up the Space Wars again; and DJI has been siphoning Android user data for quite some time now, so maybe it’s all true about these Chinese apps.
This week in drone news, we discuss a Mavic 3 rumor that wasn't really a rumor. We talk about FAA extending the Special Federal Aviation Regulation until September. We go over the new Parrot Anafi USA and how Parrot's CEO, Henri Seydoux, unexpectedly slammed DJI in public. And lastly, we will show you a map of drone rescues over the world.

As it turns out, the images were part of another existing DJI agro drone called the T16. So we will have to wait a little longer for a release date for the Mavic 3! Extension of Special FAR The FAA has extended its special FAR that was issued a few months ago to deal with COVID shutdowns. Remote Pilot whose privileges are due to expire between March and September (previously June) can renew online. https://www.federalregister.gov/documents/2020/06/29/2020-13960/limited-extension-of-relief-for-certain-persons-and-operations-during-the-coronavirus-disease-2019 Parrot Anafi USA Two weeks ago, we discussed the new Parrot Anafi “rugged version”. More information was release this week from Parrot. It's called the Parrot Anafi USA because it was designed for the US Army. Equipped with 3 cams: 32x zoom 2 cameras 21-MP cam claiming to see from 3.1 mi. FLIR camera coupled with the zoom. 500 gram, quiet (79 dB), ready in 55 seconds and all-weather. Something unexpected came out of the release when Henri Seydoux, the CEO of Parrot, openly slammed DJI publicly by claiming that a version of DJI Go was silently modified after data leaks were supposedly found. DJI responded by saying the data was not for the DJI Go app but for its Osmo device (DJI Mimo app) and the information was not leaked but going to a third-party provider to share footage. Drone Rescues Maps Drones are used for good daily in the world. DJI has compiled a map of all drone rescues in the world 130 in the US, 63 in Europe, 23 in Asia, 14 in Latin America https://dronelife.com/2020/06/29/dji-drone-rescue-map/

Danny Engesser is an IT professional who has been running his drone side hustle for the past year. He started off with a Parrot AR, and has since moved up to the DJI Phantom 3 Advanced and now the Inspire 1. So far he's been working in a variety of industries including energy, car dealerships, and corporate group photos. Utilizing the LAANC system (Low Altitude Authorization and Notification Capability), Danny has been able to fly missions in a variety of controlled airspace. So far he's found the system to be fairly straightforward, and hasn't had any issue on obtaining airspace permissions. While in the air, Danny prefers to use the DJI Go app, however has been tinkering with Litchi as well lately. I've used litchi myself, but we also discuss my personal preference of Hangar's Autopilot. Danny mentions that he had some trouble with the Inspire 1's firmware, and figured out a way to downgrade it to the original settings. It takes some work, but he has posted instructions for how to make this happen. I haven't had to try something like this, but it looks like a good option for drone pilots that are having issue with their firmware and want to start over from scratch. Alternatively, you can use my method of refreshing the firmware to keep things up to date with a clean install. For insurance, Danny choses Verifly to cover him on a flight by flight basis. So far he's had pricing ranging from $10 up to $130, with the increase likely based on the operational airspace. There may be a few other factors that cause the price to jump, but in his tests he's found that small adjustments have caused significant price changes.

I recently did a video on the DJI Phantom 3 Professional quadcopter that I've been using. I've had several people since ask me about the camera settings that I am using on the Phantom 3. Aerial photography and video work is similar to landscape in that you have a very wide dynamic range that you have to deal with. Its difficult to capture in digital format. The Phantom 3 features a Sony Exmor sensor… having said that it is a decent camera, but not incredible. There are some settings that you can use in the DJI Go app that will help with your footage considerably. I will explain these in this video.

DJI and 3D Robotics bring real-time airspace restrictions to UAV software, a UAV flagship store is planned to open, ArcadiaSky opens a marketplace for commercial UAV operators, FAA gives a UAV registration warning, and another municipality regulates drone flights. News DJI Introduces New GeoFencing System For Its Drones DJI plans to introduce a dynamic geofencing system that continuously provides updated airspace information to the operator. Data comes from Geospatial Environment Online (GEO). Drone operators will see temporary flight restrictions (TFRs) in real time, including forest fires, major stadium events, VIP travel, and restrictions around prisons, power plants, and other restricted areas such as national parks. However, operators with verified DJI accounts could temporarily unlock or self-authorize flights in some of those locations, but not in sensitive national-security locations. This to accommodate the authorized applications and provide accountability if the flight is later under investigation. DJI intends to start this in December, first in North America and Europe via a DJI Go app update, and also a drone firmware update. GEO is powered by geospatial data from Santa Monica, California-based AirMap, which calls itself “the leading provider of airspace information and services for drones. AirMap's real-time services are available to manufacturers through an API and through an SDK for application developers.” Just as we were recording this episode, a video was posted from Drone World Expo titled DJI Technology Policy Announcement by Brendan Schulman, VP of Policy & Legal Affairs. 3DR Collaborates with AirMap to Integrate Flight Safety Zone Software into the Solo App 3D Robotics will also integrate AirMap's safety information into its Solo smart drone app. CEO and co-founder Chris Anderson says, “...we want to make flying as safe as it is easy. Supplementing the Solo app with AirMap's robust and reliable real-time airspace information allows us to increase education with a seamless and enjoyable drone experience.” From the 3DR press release: “If Solo users open their Solo app in a restricted area, they'll see a warning. Users can then tap the warning to bring up a map that displays any airspace information in the area. This airspace information includes real-time Temporary Flight Restrictions that may be established in the areas around wildfires, major sporting events and other sensitive places. The Solo app will contain basic airspace information: federal guidelines (e.g., five miles from an airport); national parks; airbases, etc.” The World's Biggest Commercial Drone Maker is Opening a Flagship Store In December, DJI plans to open an 8,600 square foot flagship store in Shenzhen, China. A DJI spokesman said, “We want more people to see and touch our products.” Start-up ArcadiaSky creates marketplace for commercial UAV hire Australian company ArcadiaSky wants to make it easier to find licenced commercial UAV operators. After two months, they have 180 drone operators in 74 locations in Australia, the United Kingdom, and the United States. They've received over 1,300 requests for quotes. ArcadiaSky describes a free, three-step process: Define your requirements on a request for quote Choose your pilot based on your requirements You are put in contact with the drone operator FAA: Think Twice about "Drone Registration" Firms The FAA has issued a statement saying UAV owners should wait for the registration process to be announced before they work with any company that offers to help you with registration. At least one company is offering this kind of service. The FAA wants “a streamlined unmanned aircraft registration process that will be simple and easy to complete… The Task Force ...is working on recommendations for a system that is similar to registering any newly purchased product with its manufacturer…” Chicago City Council Approves Ban On Drones
In this episode: 1) DJI announces new micro 4/3 cameras for the Inspire 1: the X5 series. With a larger sensor, interchangeable lenses, 4k and 4k raw (X5R) video, and 12.8 stops of dynamic range - DJI raises the bar for aerial photography and filmmaking. 2) There's a new update for the DJI GO app that now includes waypoints, point of interest, course lock, and home lock modes for the Inspire 1. Also includes follow me mode for the Phantom 3. I talk about my experience using it with my Inspire 1. 3) There's a new app from Auto Flight Logic called Autopilot for DJI offering unprecedented automated control of the Inspire 1 and Phantom 3. I take it for a test drive and let you know my thoughts on this remarkable app. 4) Fantastic feedback from DCP listeners and new associate producers! 5) Video Business Success Coach Kris Simmons answer the question: When do you throw in the towel and move on?
