Greeetings to everyone ..
i am about to continue my Father Company which is Photoshop in the pass since 1992yrs.. but when that time we are use helicopter to fly and take aerial View for Large Company for building process
as technology changes now thing make more easier ..
as my background i am a photographer and also Own a hobby shop selling hobby stuff... and i love to build stuff. Now i only use my i1 For taking photo and agisoft also QGIF for Learning to Map... my i1 does really great job.. never cause me any problem the result are excellent .. but only problem is the battery life... for large place like more than 20 hectare i need few battery to completed... i have basic build drone / heli n plane ... but i like to have more input on this...
now what i have now (multi rotors for mapping )
- Rctimer 320KV 5100 Motor 15inch Props x4
- 20A hw ESC x4
- Tarot 650 sport
- Extender arm set for 15-17 props
- APM FC and GPS
- Also Telemetry For GS to my mac to my Drone
- For planning Autonomous Flight
- 5200mah 4s multistage battery x 2
- Turnigy 9x + FRSKY Djt module
I using a MACBOOK air
software i using for this applications
- AGIsoft Photoscan PRO
- QGIF
- APM planner (too bad they dun have mission planner for Mac now)
what i considering is .. Do i need a Gimbal For the mapping ? because it will have more weight and more battery on this. i am thinking the camera are facing down Everytime and it will taking photo after desire distant from APM GPS reading. So i would thinking i will get a point and shoot camera with CHDK (canon hack develop kit) what i need to do is just setup the waypoint and i just let it Goes completed the mission. i am also install a FPV monitor just to monitor the info and osd and where it fly.
and some quick question
- Do i have to buy a camera with GPS build in will me more accurate ?
- what IS GCP Ground control point ? is it just a marking or anything to laydown on the terrain so i can try and measure the accuracy after mapping
i am asian guy so.. please forgive me for my broken english hope you guys know what i trying to say.
