No Transmission Error on DJI Matrice M600
No Transmission Error on DJI Matrice M600
Thought I would share a post on solving the problem I have just had with the DJI Matrice M600 and the total loss of Video Transmission as I couldn’t find any reference to it on the internet. Full credit goes to Keven at Heliguy, who was the star in solving this very quickly today for me.
So came to checkout my Matrice M600 today for filming gig tomorrow and found that there was no video signal and the error in red at the top of my iPad DJI APP stating Error No Transmission. Everything else was fine, RC connected, the gimbal was controllable from the iPad screen Go App, but no video.
The problem was that some point I must have changed the settings in the HD options screen and turned off “Enable EXT Port”. As I am using the zenmuse x5 this setting needs to be set to Enabled and then the drop down box under that set to”Ext” NOT “LB” (Lightbridge) as you would think. Once the settings were change back correctly all was good.
So just a quick heads up if you are using the Zenmuse X5 payload and lose your transmission signal, check in the HD settings first to ensure the EXT is enabled.
Photogrammetry For Roof inspections, Solar Panels, and Hard-To-Reach Assets: A Technical Approach
Photogrammetry for roofs, solar panels, and complex vertical structures requires far more precision than standard terrain mapping. This post from explores why traditional workflows fall short and how operators can use tools such as terrain-following, custom camera profiles, circlegrammetry, and automated vertical scanning to achieve consistent results. Packed with real-world examples and scientific validation, it provides a practical technical guide to improving model accuracy, mission repeatability, and inspection efficiency across challenging commercial environments.Capturing quality photogrammetry data from vertical and elevated structures remains one of the trickier challenges in commercial drone operations. Traditional surveying workflows fail here. Kristaps Brass, Product Owner at UgCS, has spent years working with operators who tackle these missions daily. Solar farms, building facades, communication towers, dam inspections. The pattern is consistent: manual flying burns time and money, and processed models show gaps where critical details should be. This article covers what actually works, based on field-tested methods and real operator feedback.

Level 3 Thermography Reporting Project – 3 Multi-Storey Residential Blocks
We supported a large thermal inspection project across three residential buildings by providing certified Level 3 thermographic reporting based on drone data collected by the client. Using a protocol we developed, they captured radiometric thermal images, which we analysed remotely to identify heat loss, glazing issues, and roof moisture indicators. This collaborative approach showcases how our clients can carry out surveys independently, while we deliver professional-grade thermographic interpretation and reporting — cost-effectively and without needing site access.
