We <3 Open Source Software
We believe Open Source Software (OSS) truly benefits everyone. It doesn't require activation, has no recurring license fees, and puts the source code in the open for anyone to inspect or improve.
Zenith Drone Solutions is proud to sponsor all OSS we utilize with at least $300 annually to show our appreciation. With one of our sponsorships, we actually pay more to use the free OSS than we would pay for the paid 'big software' because of how much we believe in OSS and the service it provides to the community.
Open Drone Log
'Powerful Features, Zero Cost'
Free, open-source drone flight log analyzer for DJI and Litchi. Analyze telemetry, replay 3D flights, track battery health with privacy-first local storage. Desktop & Docker available.
We love Open Drone Log because it allows us to keep our data local, and allows us to keep track of our maintenance on our aircraft & batteries. It has a built in feature to alert you when a drone or battery goes over a certain amount of flights, cycles, or hours.
We love seeing our 'personal bests' in a lot of different metrics. It's always fun to see a new PB be set!
Open Drone Log allows you to easily play back every flight, and see every metric that happened during it.
"The donations and support money for opendronelog mostly goes to support my time maintaining the project, helping users with issues on Discord and GitHub, bug management, implementation of new features for newer drones.
Additionally, it supports recurring yearly cost for running the https://opendronelog.com/ website, domain and free online webapp server (https://app.opendronelog.com/) for quick analysis without any tracking (We delete the log and any associated data from the server immediately after processing the file and sending the information back to the client browser)."

WebODM
'The free and open source drone mapping software.'
WebODM is a free OSS primarily for rendering orthomosaics, but so much more can be done with it. We use it to share orthomosaics, allow our clients to easily measure distance, calculate volume, view other media like photos & panoramas geotagged to their site- all from their browser.
"The fund money will be used to further research and development, improve
code quality, security, provide upstream support for libraries WebODM
depends on, help pay for infrastructure costs and improve the documentation."
