*A typical flight mission setup using Drone harmony to follow the terrain and maintain one
heading orientation during a flight.
Wind is a factor that can affect the accuracy of the data. Wind will cause the UAV to move
erratically to maintain a constant flight line on a grid mission. This erratic movement has an
effect on the accuracy of the data and should be avoided if maximum accuracy is desired.
Smooth consistent wind is not as problematic as gusty turbulent wind which will cause more
motion from the UAV.
Rain should be avoided as exposure to moisture may reduce the lifespan of the unit and void
the warranty.
Available Light is not a concern. The RN50 can effectively be used at night and any time of day
regardless of light availability. Consideration should be given to capturing data when the sun is
low (sunrise and sunset) as direct sunlight into the sensor may produce false points.
