Featured Group: Drones
Whether you're new to drones and looking for advice on incorporating them into your wildlife tracking project, you're an experienced drone pilot with advice to share, or you've got questions about hardware, batteries, and troubleshooting, our Drones forum members are here for you!
Join here and say hello to our Drones community!
Recent Group Highlights:
Our recent Tech Tutors episode, How Do I Use a Drone to Capture Radio-Tracking Data?, featured Debbie Saunders from Wildlife Drones. Our forums are a great way to stay engaged with our Tech Tutors experts, and Debbie stopped by the forum this week to answer a huge batch of questions that were shared after her episode!
Check out all of Debbie's new Q&As and ask your own questions here:
