I was going to ask the same.. any true reference for measurements

Pro user for this one. Business you can get even more features but you are looking around $300USD pr month! Their plans here: www.dronedeploy.com/pricing.html

Does customer need drone deploy to view their results, I'm curious how they view their deliverables.

Cheers Joel. Depending on the client but usually its a dropbox, google drive or WeTransfer. If its super sensitive then we hand deliver 🤫

I have the same question

@@pd6208 The accuracy, especially with a triple pass flight is decent. Good enough for stockpiles as long as you don't need to repeat the flight and fly the area again with commonality. any error is relevant to the each stockpile itself which is nothing more than a volume so the info collected will be fine.

His phantom doesn't have RTK, it doesn't have the RTK antannae

@@zekehowey I thought that too, but wanted to double check. I'm looking at doing this work too with my Phantom 4, but have only ever used ground control points and Agisoft. Not sure how accuracy is without.

@@dustinrex4585 if you’re purely generating a 3d model then calculations a volume of that model you really don’t need to use control, but if you’re establishing levels on the site for cut and fill analysis then you’d need control on the site to make it survey accurate

TBH, to get accurate volumes, you need GCPs. You will get nice models, but not accurate ones.

@@ozonedronemedia7946 Thanks for the reply. So my understanding is that for smaller stockpile estimates like the ones in the video, volume calculations are somewhat accurate without Ground Control points. But for cut & fill for larger areas, ground control is recommended? Isn't the functionality for both stock pile volumes and cut and fill volumes the same? Or does the accuracy deteriorate over a larger area?

Nope, not at all unfortunately :/

@@UAVISUALS They really need to get LAANC up and running asap it really hinders the industry

No, this doesn't. To get a true volume estimate its best to use an RTK set up

No GCPs for this as it was purely for visual estimation

@@UAVISUALS But you are calculating the volume, what is you estimated accuracy?

He mentioned in video that he dont use any GCp for this project

By having a REOC to start with, then a lot of patience, then.....over to the host....

Certification helps and experience but lots of business development (sales and cold calls ;P initially )

Looks like a DJI Phantom 3

thanks! fixed
