[QUOTE="Earthman, post: 109303, member: 16717"] I’m glad you found Windy again. Windy is my go to app for wind speed, direction and forecast. I use it every time I fly or plan a flight. If needed, I also use the augmented reality iPhone app Theodolite with a small spreadsheet on my iPhone to help estimate the height of obstructions (see attached screenshot of the spreadsheet). You can get Theodolite for iPhone at [URL="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/theodolite/id339393884"]Theodolite[/URL]. Although I don’t know anything about it, I noticed that there is now an Android version too at [URL="https://apps-apk.net/android/339393884/theodolite"]Theodolite App APK Download for Android[/URL]. I use paper templates or masks that have a triangular cut out to help me plan shots. The angle of the cutout is equal to the FOV of the lens. I make them from 8.5” x 11” card stock to use with my iPad or PC, and laminated 3” x 4” masks to use with my iPhone. I hold the masks over the display screen while looking at my subject in Google Earth. This gives me an idea of where I need to position the drone to fully frame my subject. In urban areas, I typically takeoff from the designated spot and fly straight up to get the shot then relocate to the next. This saves time, the battery, and reduces flight risk. I recently found and purchased the Photo Planning Tools bundle of apps for iPhone at [URL="https://apps.apple.com/us/app-bundle/photo-planning-tools/id1250155179"]Photo Planning Tools[/URL]. The Photographer’s Transit app in the bundle may be able to replace my paper masks (see screenshot below).
