Same, I've never even considered trying to monetize/leverage my whopping six images on Google maps (although they do have 140K+ views). I like the idea though if you are trying to build a photography-based business or adding an income stream. My advice to OP is to have well-defined services...

Getting a better picture now. I'm not entirely surprised that mainland techniques aren't working on the islands. Completely different context and behaviors are probably quite different, thus the suggestion for doing the behavioral studies. Do you know the age/sex of island animals? Are they a...

Ah, I see what you mean now. Not a hunter, but I'm inclined to agree. I'm not doubting the impact of foxes on ground nesting birds. I am doubting the usefulness of a drone in spotting a fox. As a biologist, I wouldn't give up on the trapping. Hunters/trappers etc are a great resource, but they...

Doesn't seem like that feasible, or even possible in his particular setting.

Sounds a lot like my summers in AK with my 12' zodiac! Lot's of logistical hurdles to be sure. But given that these are primarily nocturnal animals and you can not fly at night aerial surveys for foxes during the day probably won't give you much information (to state the obvious, as mentioned by...

I'm an ecologist who has spent A LOT of time in the field studying animals (population dynamics, behavior, migrations etc) as well as worked many gov contracts on invasive species control. So that is where my response is coming from and it is 100% meant to be constructive. Also I don't know your...

There are a few options I know of, and likely a few that I don't. A google search might help you more than this forum since some seem determined to answer questions you haven't asked and/or lecture you on anything tangentially related. Or just search old threads here, there are plenty. (1)...

I do a lot of the same sort of thing, but I use Pix4D Capture. Just curious why you use Drone Deploy for capture then Pix4D to process?

Thanks for the reply. I can imagine that it would be a bit of a hassle and potentially not worth it at all. Thanks for exploring it as a possibility though!

Do you know when it might? It seems like a lot of people, like me access these threads almost exclusively through the daily emails. So the 'ignore' function doesn't really function for us. I'm sure it's a pain to try to filter that sort of automated email customized for each recipient, just...

This doesn't address your question but maybe addresses the larger problem. Is a flying camera the best platform for crawl space work? Have you considered a rover type RC vehicle instead? Just sounds like the wrong tool to me??

I've been out of the drone loop for the entire summer and it looks like a lot has changed, so I could be wrong. If so I'm sure someone will correct me (at least I hope they do). My first guess is that since this is a commercial application of a drone and your son is (seems to be?) making a...

Both of those offer free trial versions (two weeks each I believe) unless something has changed very recently. And they are very liberal with that free trial. I've spoken with folks from both and they were happy to extend the trial (in my case at least, i.e, education). You sign up for the...

I assume you are excluding automated flights. e.g.,
