Hello, i am new here and have just found out about the Reach/Reach RS, i want to be able to do high accuracy mapping/topography or as high accuracy that i can, without having to spend tons of money on survey equipment. i am thinking about a hexacopter, gimbal and a sony A7R or something that is +30mp or is that overkill ? pixhawk 1,2 or Navio2, what is best ?
and to make it all work, do i only need the Reach and Reach RS ? and something to sync the camera with the system, using the flash?
and if someone can give me some tips on a hex frame (good quality) that would be awsome
so if it works with A6000 it should work with a A7R ? or what can go wrong ? i am just thinking about getting as high pixel density so i can fly higher or at the same hight but get more details
if i have a drone with Reach and a Reach RS will i get relative cm accuracy or absolute accuracy cm accuracy ? if i dont have a known point ?
It works with any camera that has a hot shoe interface.
You will get relative accuracy, it order to get absolute you will need to tie your base to a point with a known coordinate or to another base station with an absolute known coordinate.
okey, i am guessing that it can use a hot shoe, i will have to look into that
so it cant sit there for a while and collect data and then figure out where it is ?
is this something that can be done in a accurat way in some kind of post processing ? as long as i have a good relative accuracy ?
So if I good understand, you can get absolute accuracy for base if I have another base that is sending a correction?
I ask because I have 2 reach modules (1 base, 1 rover) and I have ordered Reach RS
