Just curious to see feedback on what pilots opinions are on those who map and survey. What is a solid entry level DJI drone for mapping?

Recently I've been working on a software to create Mapping/Surveying missions for DJI Drones that support Waypoints (DJI Air 3, Mini 4 Pro, Mavic 3, etc...) with straight lines! Soon I'll add Litchi support, but for now it's for the DJI Fly app! \ If you want to download it and try it, it is...

I had an issue with a couple of photos during some missions recently, 1 photo out of each flight looks to be corrupted or something. The photo I've attached is edited to make the file size smaller but the photo directly from the drone the corrupted area was completely magenta colored. It was...

Hi! So out of the blue, I've decided to get into drone photogrammetry, mapping/survey. Any advice on where to start? I was thinking of changing my Mini 2 for a proper drone and learning but adding all the costs of drone + courses + software and we break the bank. Another option I was thinking of...

With rules changing in the UK around commercial work later this year, I've a couple of contacts who are landowners asking about doing some straightforward mapping of their land (mainly to get a record of bracken coverage and the like) One of the areas is flat woodland with no hills or...

The village where I live in Shropshire in the UK is undergoing some notable development, with a new housing estate being built. I'd like to fly the drone over the new development, some of which have recently had people move in, to capture a series of nadir photos (a few hundred) to stitch...

Does anyone have experience with the TopoDrone RTK Upgrade Kit for the Mavic 2 Pro? https://topodrone.org/product/ppk/mavic/topodrone-mavic-2-pro-l1-ppk-upgrade-kit/ Appreciate achieving centimeter-level accuracy isn't going to be essential for a lot of people on here. I'm interested to know...

Recently I came across an opinion that DJI drones bought from sources* different than original distribution are the ones with issues. Those are the units that turn off midair, fly away or are constantly loosing connection. So I though a simple questionnaire would be nice, to give us all a look...

Hi all, it's nice to be here. This community is really on the ball, and certainly very active! Drone Factor is a new startup on Wirral, Merseyside. We're currently running three drones and are insured by insure4drones. We've got our PfCO (there are two of us under it piloting) and we're looking...

Is anyone using their Mavic Pro for surveys? I see that there is DroneDeploy which I plan to test some day but it is to expensive if I am just going to use it occasionally and will not make any money from it. Are there any cheaper or free solutions? I do not need 3D model, elevations etc... I...

Hey! Today I got a survey from DJI in Chinese that might be pointing to the future of the Mavic. The whole survey (in Chinese, 27 questions), revolved mainly on asking what would be the interest in personalization options for the Mavic. For example, would you be interested: - If at the time of...
