I recently passed the UAV 107 test. I've been a land surveyor for 9 years and professionally licensed for the last two years. I am looking to learn about using drone aerials in my workflow and marketing. I am also looking for partnerships with commercial drone pilots. For many of my clients, a drone survey supplemented by ground surveying and boundary location is exactly what they need for their projects.
As the technology improves, there's a tremendous opportunity to bridge the gap between conventional survey methods and aerial survey with drones.
Right now, I pay aerial providers 5-10k to fly over sites 1x with a fixed wing aircraft, capture aerials, and provide me with linework and elevation spot shots. I get topographic contours, and linework for property improvements and vegetation. I know I could get more images and better results on many of my projects with drone. I just don't know exactly how.
