None... I'm going to take a course from I think it's heliguy... My problem is that I don't know if I'll be able to get the work so I'm kinda wondering what types of mapping and survey jobs can I realistically do without being RICS chartered.

Yeah I have come to the same conclusion myself, which is a bit of a frustrating thing for me.... I know quite a bit about trigonometry...but I won't get into that lol... Ya know... Atomic clocks, triangulation... Etc lol

Hi all Would this be good enough for professional drone surveys or would I need something else? Mavic 3 enterprise Emlid reach rs2+ (base station) Emlid reach rs3 (rover) 10 GCP targets Thanks

Hi I'm going to get set up for mapping / surveys etc. Could anybody please advise me on my planned setup? 1 x mavic 3 enterprise with rtk module 1 x fly more kit 1 x Emlid reach rs2+ for base station 1 x Emlid reach rs3 for a rover Would this be a good setup? I'm thinking of getting the two...

I'd say that the RID is just getting on some plots nerves because they have been telling clients that their permission for commercial flights and CoC allows them to fly their >250g drones in built-up areas close to and over uninvolved people. It doesn't. But with RID they won't be able to get...

I know some may scoff but I would like to get an idea of what can realistically be done with a mini 3 Pro. I'm in the UK I intend on using it for roof, building and infrastructure inspections. However, would it be useful for doing orthos which only require relative accuracy? I have got down...

Ground sample distance

Hi all I understand GSD but what do you guys do when you're scanning a town or city, or anything that has massive differences in height? How do you calculate what it should be? Cheers

I think you might be right... It was a toss up between the two but the idea of of having to play around with multiple processes seems tedious but, if litchi can offer something over rainbow aside from price than fine... However it seems it cannot so for me, £99 a year is a steal... I can learn...

What has the best results... Webodm lightning, meshroom or reality capture? Is meshroom capable of creating results that are deliverable to customers? I know that webodm and reality capture are, but if used correctly, are they comparable results?

This is the thing with rainbow.... It's literally one ui where you plan everything save and then load it from your phone/controller. Think drone deploy but about 5.4k cheaper.

What did you use to plan the mission?

Niiiiicece!!! I have been looking at webodm and my machine isn't up to the job... That said, webodm lightening seems very reasonably priced to be fair...

More than anything I want to do some 3d models of homrs/buildings and historical sites. When doing that I'd like simplicity when planning a mission. Litch has too many processes along the way for me. Rainbow seems to be a nice place to start for me.

Yeah as usual it's horses for courses. It's not so much how many but what features and the cost of those features.
