In this week’s drone news, our first big story is about DJI Terra, a new mapping application that might prove to be a serious contender to existing market players like Pix4D and especially DroneDeploy. This new, desktop-based mapping application by DJI allows drone pilots to create 2D and 3D models. Does, DJI Terra work with all DJI drones? And, how does DJI Terra compare to Pix4D in terms of pricing and capabilities?

Our next story is about FAA introducing new protocols for drone pilots. Will these new protocols place greater restrictions on drone pilots? And, will we see more FAA enforcement against illegal drone pilots? You will also learn about the rising popularity of agricultural drones, especially in the continent of Asia. What are the benefits of using drones for crop spraying? Do current drone laws permit the use of agricultural drones in the United States?

Other topics discussed include drone deliveries and drones being used in emergencies. Tune in now!
