I think that for what you want, the priority should be something that can carry a multispectral payload. If you're not spraying, the Agras might be overkill. You could probably start with Mavic 3M. I can't give much advice about software for agriculture, but I'm betting that it will be the...

Its tilt is relative to the direction of gravity. It will stay perpendicular to that force, so if you compare it to its original position, the orientation would be different, but inside your sealed room, it wouldn't appear to change.

I'm very sorry for your loss.

Great shot!

The rules are different everywhere. You may not be able to use the word "survey" in some places. That doesn't mean that you can't learn drone photogrammetry and as much about geomatics and GIS as possible (it's a big topic). There is lots of surveying information available online, and if you're...

I think you have the necessary equipment. Do you have any experience with surveying?

We had some great frost in mid-January! Nice shot!

Unfortunately, this is not something you will be able to find, and even if you could, as a surveyor, I would be very careful trusting someone else's data. Fortunately, GCP's aren't necessary for everything, and you can make perfectly adequate, somewhat accurate geographically maps and models. If...

Yeah, I went off topic a bit. I'm just talking GPS theory, not necessarily DJI GPS requirements, and the theoretical centimetre accuracy is achieved with professional GPS equipment and longer observations. But 4 is the absolute minimum for a 3D position. Trust me, I'm thrilled that we have...

No, 4 is technically correct. You can get a horizontal position with 3 satellites, but need 4 to get vertical accuracy and you can get positions to the centimetre with 4 satellites. It's just rare these days to have so few. I wouldn't want to fly with 4, but as a surveyor, I am just clarifying...

Welcome from Alberta! Enjoy your new drone!

Nice work!

The Vancouver area may have a lot of no-fly zones. Make sure you get an app like RPAS Wilco or Canadian Airspace Viewer to check before you fly. Enjoy your visit!

Can I ask roughly what part of the province this was in? Great shot!

You should definitely be able to find a Mavic Pro controller on e-bay. Or here, in the classifieds.
