Hello friends!
First post, and apologies in advance for what I think might be a quite novice question in nature. I have been reading previous posts addressing similar but slightly different use cases, and am a bit overwhelmed by what seems to be a variety of answers and solutions for my question and design problem.
I have recently began monitoring a dozen acres or so of lakefront property. I am interested in using my Mavic 2 Pro and Smart Controller to begin systematically observing changes in the environment over the course of the next year. For the most part, I think one approach is to set a flight path and run it a few times a day to gather data to construct a collection of maps that will visually indicate by comparison things that I am interested in such as: areas that get the most direct sunlight in the morning, areas where water collects after rainfall, movement of wildlife, the overall health of the foliage of the area, etc.
My question is, does anyone have any recommendations on which software to start looking at first? It seems like my commitment to using the Smart Controller eliminates some options such as Pix4dCapture. I have the impression from other threads that I can use DJI Pilot on the Smart Controller and potentially Open Drone map to achieve my goal.
Anyways, thank you so much for your consideration of this potentially quite simple situation. I am just a bit overwhelmed by the possibilities and am hoping someone will shed some more light on different solutions. In hindsight, I am wondering if cost was no issue if I should have considered an Enterprise UAV.
Happy holidays to everyone-
