Hello all! I have a number of polygons of birds from multiple dates of nonuniform scale (ex. 10/14/2016, 10/20/2016, 10/22/2016) which I'm trying to visualize in ArcMap to create an animation. I want to display each layer using the time properties on at a time. Is this possible given the ArcMap features? Otherwise one solution I though of was to edit the time animation using Windows Media Player to crop the video to what I want it to be. The link to the workflow I follow can be found here. Any help is greatly appreciated! -Cody

Celeste, I'm a sUAS (small unmanned aircraft system) pilot for the University of Wisconsin - Green Bay. I fly over natural areas quite frequently and conduct habitat & invasive species assessments, high-resolution orthophotos, and 3D models of rock outcrops. The biggest challenge when flying is how to master panning your camera to create smooth transitions. I'm still struggling with this and it definitely is an art that takes a lot of practice. Personally, I like the open source technology available in the UAV industry. I'm currently building my own UAV and found that ecalc was super helpful to run simulations with different parts (if you want to pursue this route). I have always had success with the Pixhawk PX4 autopilot system and I'd just read reviews on the other parts you want to buy if you custom build a UAV, as some parts are low quality. If you are looking for a prefabricated UAV, the DJI Mavic Pro has been a popular choice for multirotors and the Parrot Bebop for plane-type UAV. Yuneec has also been an up-and-coming brand which I've read a lot of good reviews about. I personally don't like the DJI line since there is little room for customization and modification, but that's just a personal bias of mine. The best camera I found on the market that does the most for size if you have the budget is the Parrot Sequoia. The rig I'm building is designed for low-level aerial imagery and map generation, so I plan to use a Canon S110 or S120 with the CHDK modification which has a higher resolution sensor, but does less than the Parrot Sequoia. If you can, I'd strongly encourage joining an RC hobby group near your area, as their experience will come in handy when you begin to learn to fly. I use the Realflight 7.5 simulator to practice over winter and keep my skills sharp, and that would definitely be a low-cost, low-risk way to get experience. I hope this helps to answer your question. Best, Cody

Hello all, Today I have been a multitude of issues with the Collector App (10.3.1). Initially, I was having sync issues due to my many data points/attachments and attempted to do the workaround as described in this article. I followed the instructions to delete the client_data geodatabase and the syncgdb_request folders to attempt to have a successful sync. This method was unsuccessful in syncing my data, and when I returned to the location where the client_data geodatabse and syncgdb_request folders were on my LG G Pad tablet (Model No: LG-AK15) through my PC, the client_data geodatabase is no longer available, but the syncgdb_request has come back. In addition, I pulled the runtime geodatabase off of my tablet to run in ArcGIS 10.3 using the Conversion Tools > Copy Runtime Geodatabase to File Geodatabase in ArcToolbox. When I ran this tool, I received a 001730 Error: Could not open the runtime geodatabase. Following the attempts to sync my edits, I now open the Collector App and no longer have access to my downloaded map. It gets stuck at the initial "Loading" screen and has been loading for the last 30 minutes. When I go to the "Manage" section on the collector App, I see my basemap and it says that it is "in use", however I do not have the option to remove my basemap. Does anyone know how to reset this app to redownload my points and basemap? Thanks! Cody *** UPDATE: I now have the client_data geodatabase available, however I am still stuck at the "Loading" screen ***
