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.

Ahhhh.... Very interesting... Last time I looked Google earth pro cost a few quid. Now it's free. So, I can create a kmz file in GEP, import that into the litchi mission utility, and then that will output the file to inport into litchi fly app? Don't suppose you have a link to a tutorial do you...

Hi thanks for the response... I want to try it out in a professional context... As in I want to do it as a hobby to see if I can master it or at least, try to monetise my hobby by selling the odd asset pack pack here and there because my partner and I like visiting historic places etc. Hence the...

Hi all Anybody got any opinions on litchi vs rainbow... On the face of it, rainbow blows litchi out of the water in terms of features. The ones of interest to me are, Facade Mission, 3d mission and grids. I know that litchi have a new app in beta but, their old app has some basic mapping...

Sounds about right... That said, the way I understand the proposed changes to the regulations/weight classes, if they are implemented, we'll be able to fly drones like the air in the same manner as a mini - close to and over uninvolved people so I suppose it's not all bad... I say that because I...

They'll find a way... My bet it's going to be GNSS enabled drones...
