Above is a video of a presentation we recently gave about the work we did for the World Bank in Albania. It shows that small drones are much more than toys - they have become productive tools for innovative surveyors.

Fantastic Presentation Walter!
It is one thing reading a bit here and there, compared with a full real-life
detailed run down of running a drone survey business. I am more or less
on the same track though coming from a town-planners angle, so it was great to see.
My greatest tip would be to switch to 25mm CF frame design - and you will find yourself
in Multicopter LegoLand, with great cross manufacturer compatibility. I too went with
SteadiDrones but upgraded to full Cinestar class craft in wake of quality and licensing requirements
from the Israeli civil aviation authorities. And yup - we have a full set of DO's & DON'Ts over here
which is a true eye opener.
Second, I would highly recommend you take a look at Acute3D and ask for a trial period of their advanced systems, which you can test with your existing data sets. Skyline's Terra Explorer is compatible with
the file format too.
Cheers - Great show!
Feel free to PM me for any specific tips if needed

You bet, lots of stress but after fifty or so successful flights it gets better. ;-)
Excellent and instructive!
Didn't you have some stress when you flew the drone 50m above a city out of sight?
