"I totally understand that, especially w/ everyone now rushing to do this because this will be the part of drones that will be the most valuable.
You'll for sure be ahead of the game, it's naive to think that when the accuracy is actually "survey…"

"I didn't know DJI locked up near no fly zones, good to know...
When it does work, it's great! I've had a few times where I've just pressed the button and I spend a half hour to an hour at a site.
I should bring up that the State Board of…"

"The point was, I'm glad I had the Iris w/ me! "
"The Phantom caused me the headache, not the Iris+. There was a firmware upgrade that totally locked it up after I did have everything charged, calibrated & ready to go. It should have been me just pressing the button, there was no firmware upgrade…"
I had a job yesterday where I just happened to throw the Iris + in the car last minute. I've been using the Phantom Pro 3 and have a few mapping apps that puts it in almost autonomous flights, I just nudge the landings. Nothing was working, I was…
"?? Not sure what that means??"
"I was checking out that FLIR camera online & it looks like they've partnered up w/ DJI & might be available w/ the Inspire now, the Phantom in November. "
"Not sure how you want accuracy w/out a surveyor? I tested my Garmin on spots I had surveyed by a surveyor, the altitude was off by about 10'. They XY was off by just a few feet. He spray painted orange on top of fence posts I could pinpoint in…"
"I actually like both, for different reasons. If that's what you're using it for you will like it, especially the remote access to the camera.
I wouldn't sell it though, I plan to keep mine for my collection..."

"Drone Deploy you do need geotagged photos. These companies are willing to talk you through the equipment they recommend for this. I use both Pix4D & AutoDesk Recap 360, they've been very helpful. They're all coming out w/ mapping & processing…"
"He's using AutoDesk, put the same photos in ReCap 360. Otherwise you can save it in an LAS file that he can open in AutoCad & the contours should be there. "
"You definitely need several GCP's, I don't even geotag anymore. The RTK still needs survey equipment that goes with it. I get a surveyor to give me the XYZ's for the GCP's. I consider myself a data collector, not a surveyor or mapping expert.…"
"It depends on the accuracy you need & the software you're using, the drone gets you about 5meters of accuracy. I use geosetter or photoshop lightroom to tag after the fact. Lately I don't need geotagged photos, I use GCP's and plug them in after…"
"Great idea :)
I can say even these big construction companies are trying to incorporate this into their own workflow. This is still in it's infancy for construction & engineering & these companies have been using drones on their projects legally…"

My husband owns an engineering company & I've been doing this for about a year. Thought I'd post the webinar here - It was DPR, Shimmick, AutoDesk & me (GrandView Services) talking about using this for construction & engineering. I was totally…
"There's a lot of myths about advancements out there in the whole drone world. I just talked to someone yesterday who said their friend has a start up for fully autonomous & watched their drone fly off into the water. It's safe to say anyone taking…"
