RIEGL VUX-120 UAV LiDAR wins Geospatial World innovation award in Amsterdam - sUAS News - The Business of Drones

During the Geospatial World Forum – taking place in Amsterdam from October 20-22 this year- geospatial best practices from around the globe are being recognized. RIEGL is proud to announce that the RIEGL VUX-120 UAV-LiDAR Sensor for Corridor Mapping has been awarded with the Geospatial World Innovation Award 2021!



On October 20, 2021, in course of the Geospatial World Forum Gala Dinner, James Van Rens, Strategic Advisor RIEGL Group & Sr. VP RIEGL USA, accepted the highly appreciated award on behalf of RIEGL.



“The RIEGL VUX-120 is a powerful and versatile solution that exceeds the needs of the geospatial industry for high performance, engineering, and survey-grade accuracy LiDAR. The VUX-120’s long-ranging capability offers a cost-effective solution for both unmanned and manned aircraft integrations alike, providing economies of scale to enable a quicker return on investment. It is a privilege to see the expansion of performance capabilities and usage of RIEGL LiDAR in parallel to the reduction of sensor form,“ said James Van Rens.



The lightweight and versatile RIEGL VUX-120 was awarded in the category “Innovation” for its high performance, efficiency, and user-friendliness.



The small-sized and extremely lightweight sensor uses an innovative scanning pattern for the optimal coverage of complex and vertical targets, such as high-voltage transmission towers or building facades. This scan pattern employs a nadir/forward/backward scanning geometry and a 100° wide field of view for exceptional target coverage in a single pass. Thus, the RIEGL VUX-120 is the ultimate UAV-LiDAR Sensor for Corridor Mapping providing users with excellent high-resolution surveying data on the one side and saving time and money in their UAV missions on the other side.



After being awarded in September during INTERGEO 2021 with the Wichmann Innovations Award, the Geospatial Innovations Award is the second award that the RIEGL VUX-120 UAV LiDAR sensor was honoured with. We are proud that our efforts as a leader in Ultimate LiDARTM  technology have been recognized. This spurs us on to further strengthen our performance in research and development – rest assured, RIEGL will continue to provide the industry with products of outstanding performance!

DJI Mini 2 Errors: What They Mean (And How to Fix Them) | Droneblog

Image
Nothing brings a drone operator down quicker (pun intended) than bad weather and drone error codes.  We wait until it gets better with the weather, eventually, although our highly anticipated day of flying is ruined.  However, drone error codes can be more than simply waiting out the issue or hoping it resolves itself. Error codes and the inability to fly the DJI Mini 2 because of these errors can be a nuisance, but, when those codes are decoded, explained, and suggestions on how to fix the issue come to the fore, things get easier. We’ll be looking at a laundry list of DJI Mini 2 error codes, what they mean, and the steps to fix them.  The codes will be listed numerically to locate specific codes easier within the article. These codes are: Code 10001Code 10016Code 10022Code 10023Code 30007Code 30008Code 30047Code 30049Code 30050Code 30055Code 30060Code 30064 Code 30085Code 30105Code 30168Code 30210Code 30224Code 30226Code 40002Code 40011Code 40012Code 40021Code 180016Code 180030Code 1...

DJI Transmission System (Everything You Need to Know)

Image
An essential feature behind a DJI drone that is often overlooked is the drone transmission system. I have personally flown multiple DJI drones from different generations, and I can say – good heavens, what a difference! DJI drones usually have the OcuSync transmission system, which is unique and proprietary to DJI. The transmission module is installed on all DJI drones and cannot be upgraded or changed, but it comes in different versions. And the flight range, penetration, controller compatibility, and a few more factors depend on it. Here, I’ll share with you everything you need to know about the DJI transmission system, why it matters, the difference between them, and how we can identify one. Behind DJI OcuSync: Factors & Analysis A transmission system in a drone is one of the most critical parts without which a drone cannot fly at all. It simply cannot make a connection between a drone remote controller and the drone itself. In consumer DJI drones, we have the OcuSy...

Autel EVO 2 Pro: 3 Most-Common Problems (With Solutions) | Droneblog

Image
The Autel EVO 2 Pro drone is a very powerful drone with many features, but it does have a few drawbacks that I have found while using it. Despite the issues I have experienced, the Autel EVO 2 Pro is still a great drone that I would recommend to anyone looking for a foldable drone with a 20MP camera. While the Autel EVO 2 Pro is a strong drone model overall, there are a few areas of weakness. The controller, lack of accessories, and flight characteristics could use some work on Autel’s end to get this drone to the top of its class. Even with the problems I have experienced, there are still many ways to fly the EVO 2 Pro issue-free. Let’s take a closer look at some of the issues you might experience and ways to work around them to get the footage you’re looking for. 1. Autel EVO 2 controller issues As a professional drone operator, I have used a few different drone controllers and think the controller that comes with the EVO 2 Pro is just too small and not balanced properly. Let’s discu...
