I was able to hear a detailed explanation of the drone mapping business! I am now 66 years old, and after retirement as a civil servant in Korea, I started flying drones as a hobby, and after learning 'Premier Pro' for video editing, I am uploading drone videos on KZfaq, and three years ago I qualified as a drone instructor After acquiring it, I give lectures at drone flight academies, and I also work on pest control with agricultural drones. In the meantime, an acquaintance asked if I could make a map of agricultural land, so I watched your KZfaq video to learn how to use Pix4D capture and Drone Deploy, and I learned a lot from your lecture! I will be visiting your channel often to learn more in the future, and I also learned something very useful from this video. Your lecture was the best!

Dylan, with a small property like this do you ever feel the need to run a separate flight at a different gimbal angle in order to capture better 3D details? I've been experimenting and have been seeing that I have seen some better results doing a flight at -30 degrees but you need to expand the flight path as it can't see the property at the close proximity. Maybe I'm doing something wrong and you can offer some suggestions for achieving the best 3D results. Thanks and love the videos!

I do photogrammetric mapping of forestry areas. I'll do 5 passes if an area is particularly complex - one nadir (top town), and 4 passes with the camera at a 30-45 degree oblique angel from the cardinal directions. However my work isn't making me nearly that much money -- I'm paid a flat salary and the photogrammetry data is ONLY used to plot spray drone flight routes - what the company is paid for is the sprayed acerage.

I've had a Mavic 2 Pro over 3yrs now and I only thought my drone's purpose was for amazing Photos and Videos...only today I learned about Drone Mapping...and the very last few seconds I now seen that a 360 degree camera could be used with the Drone. I have had the Samsung 360 camera well over 6yrs and it has barely been used...I recently brought high capacity memory cards on sale back in 2021....so lets say if I really wanted to produce the top quality mapping...Could I implement my phone with a DJI Gimbal, my 360 degree camera and my Mavic 2 Pro? My Mavic 2 Pro has been used mostly in the car scene in very low light at night. I found a purpose for what I have been gathering all these years?

@DylanGorman2 жыл бұрын
That’s not entirely true. You can still capture using an RTK drone or processing using PPK methods. It’ll be cheaper yes, accurate yes, but obviously can’t pass it off as a “drone survey”. I have several clients that pay for us to run mapping missions that aren’t geo-referenced with survey grade accuracy. They only care about relative accuracy as they are using it for visual inspections. But again it’s the client that you are selling your services to and what they are looking for. I do disagree with the “you can’t do accurate mapping” statement though because it’s been proven to not be 100% true. I still see your point though. Just my experience!

They promise that you can edit your report in the tool itself, but it doesn't work. Maybe if you have the paid version. You can only share the 3d model with customers via a web link (from DD itself). For more than $200 a month, you also have to pay extra for adding GCPs. The app itself is super easy to use.

For your second question, you can 100% use GCP's without a survey drone. Its done all the time just know that you need to work with a licensed surveyor in order to call it a survey accurate drone map. For your first question, i have heard about the changes, I have not seen the new questions but overall you need to score a 70% or higher in order to pass. I missed 2 questions and still scored a 94% on my exam. I still think it is doable without the new study material but again I haven't seen the new questions just yet.

@@pereze75 Ernesto: Nah! 6 years Active Duty USMC flying H-46's; 24 years Navy Reserves and flew H-3's and MH-53E's. Flew a desk towards the end of my career. Hard to crash a desk and if you do, you'll definitely walk away from it! Flying drones since 2013, control input is just like flying helos. Semper Fly, Dave.

I have a Dji mini pro 3. It's not listed as a compatible drone but do you think it will be since its relatively new? Or should I buy another drone?
@DylanGorman2 жыл бұрын
That drone wont work, however if you want the best beginner drone (and probably the best drone for the cost) to start flying stuff like this I would recommend the DJI Air 2s (amzn.to/3Q1soQj)

Wow! I have a question. Was the camera 90* for all the time or it moves the camera?

Is this type of business good for beginner pilots or should I do something first? Also I can't wait for the SDK kits to become available to the mini 3 pro.

How do you sell your product without being a licensed photogrammetrist or surveyor? You can't legally claim accuracy with these projects without being licensed in either field. Or are you just selling "pretty 3D pictures" to your customers with a disclaimer about it not being "accurate"? Thanks for the video because I'd like to use my drone to do this on the side!

Thanks for the informative video...SUBSCRIBED to your channel! I'm curious if you're able to do everything you did in this video with the Drone Deploy Lite subscription or do you need the Individual subscription?
@DylanGorman2 жыл бұрын
Thank you! Try out the demo and see all the tools available but I believe everything I showed off in the video is supported on the “lite” subscription.

nice video! How do you load your sd card on the mac? For some reason my mac recognizes the card in disk utility, but is not mounted (tried every trick on internet)
