Choosing a Drone for Mapping/Surveying

- A lot of people ask us about what drone they should use for doing mapping and surveying. In this webinar, we do our best to answer the question and give you the pros and cons of different platforms that are available.
For more information, contact us at enterprise@multicopterware.com
Phantom P4 Pro is the best mapping option available. Buy 3 of them while they are still in production!
The P4 RTK is $6k more and is miserable to use especially when it comes to multiple battery swaps during a mission.
M200 with X4s is the worst option and the X4s was discontinued because of its horrible mapping (image) performance. It was good for video and no matter what they say about it being the same as the P4 Pro it isn’t as it has functionality that can’t be fully turned off.
Good comment about the DJI China Spying BS! So sick of hearing of that, but it’s something that DJI will never overcome.
mmmm, you mean like
the 100,000s of people with their GPS tracking iPhones
on vacation filming everything everywhere. Yeah, let's ban a PHONE and cars too because a drunk can kill you with a car.
@Fern Blitz you don’t need the RTK/PPK unless you are needing to do Surveyor Level mapping.
@Fern Blitz There were just minimal updates and nothing worth spending anything extra or putting off a purchase. There will be other manufacturers added to all the various mapping applications also… My favorite personal UAV is the Autel EVO2 Pro (6K) and it also has a super impressive mapping app of its own…
Hi Lane. I am thinking about buying an p4rtk and swap battery many times to cover large areas. Why do you think it is miserable? Please explain
Which mapping software would you use and what equipment do you need to add to the Phantom 4 to make it to geo referencing
Very helpful. Can't wait to see what is coming! Zero to hero! Thanks for calling me too!
I just need to get out and see what is in my area to get started.
It is hard to offer a service if I don't know what I can do or is out there.
Hi. It would be priceless if You update that video for 2024
What kind of Computers and printers and Laptops for Base and Mobile operations would you recommend?
Snow Dump Capacity, would be a big concern that I would like to provide my client?
autel evo pro 2 for mapping??
Nearly all of our work is government contracts, can you please recommend a non-DJI brand.
In regards to photogrammetry how does the Anafi AI compare to Skydio 2+?
yes yes yes, tell me more! I want to start a mapping biz. can you help?
Did you do it??
is it possible to find Lidar for DJI Phantom 3 Pro ??
HVAC, dirty filters will cause HVAC systems to work harder?
It will make the AC system run cooler (freeze up) with no heat transfer from the indoor air and evaporator coil.
The P1 should be good for mapping, mechanical shutter with 42MP , does cost $15,000 though haha
Not sure where you got that pricing from, but the P1 is much less than $15,000
you don't need a Puget systems computer for this cyber power or origin computers can give you a computer kind of like like saying hey you can get to work in a ford raptor but you just want a f150 work box
Thanks for the Webinar, very detailed and very informative.
One year later, is the Phantom 4 Pro/V2.0 still the go-to option for mapping? any tip? advice?
Thanks again and keep it going!
P4RTK is the industry standard I would say. The P1 payload coupled with the M300 Rtk looks promising but is a lot more expensive .
If you aren’t concerned with Absolute accuracy though, you don’t need RTK. You’d just be wasting money.
I currently still use a p4p for mapping/volumetric stockpile calculations with ground control and it’s great for that application. If needing survey grade or lidar, I’d say rtk is the go. But also alot of areas is in a rtk denied environment. Ppk works better for these areas.
Can we use foif dgps as base station for phantom 4 RTK
If it can put out an NTRIP network, then yes. Otherwise its probably good for marking ground control points.
could i use a dji fpv drone for surverying property
Not really the right machine. The camera resolution is only 12mp, the camera cannot point straight down, there is no way to automate a flight, and it only has a 1 axis gimbal. Can you build a house with only a butter knife? Probably, but its most certainly the wrong tool for the job.
@@multicopterwarehousellc how would the dji air 2s hold up?
IMPORTANT QUESTION!?! Do I have to be a licensed surveyor to survey with a drone legally in the United Stated if its only being used for site planning?
I'm not really qualified to give legal advice, but there are a few states that require it, but most do not.
@@multicopterwarehousellc okay thank you. I am getting my part 107 license soon and was hoping to tap into drone surveying but there seems to be a grey area on the legality of drone surveying without being a licensed surveyor(requiring an engineering degree). Thank you for the reply!
We are looking for the best solution for Law Enforcement. 45 -1hrs flight time Long range / Day and night camera solution but at a cheaper cost . Also can handle some light to moderate rain operations.????? What product do you recommend please.
Matrice 300
So no apps support the m300?
For mission planning, the M300 has its own controller with mission planning features. For processing, Pix4D, DroneDeploy, and others will work
@@multicopterwarehousellc mission planning with mapping in mind? Overlaps ? Facade? Roof? Terrain following? Gimbal angle?
@@multicopterwarehousellc Any tips for managing the gimbal angle while mapping ?
Your sound recording is really not good. As if you're talking on the phone.

Aloha,
I am going to purchase the m300 with payloads L1,P1,H20T, eventually dual gimble. All said and done that's about 43-50k. 50+ if I get all the toys minus the U10. So I was wonder if I want to buy a cheaper mapping capable drone to practice with. What would be the recommended drone right now I like the DJI Mavic air 2. Is this a good drone to start practicing the flight and photography?
For a better understanding, I am a scientist this drone will be used commercially and for research, both equal fun while I try turn things to profit or a hobby/research that pays for itself. Also do you know of any small mid size (M300 size) payloads that offer the LiDAR Green for water penetration?
Thank you,
AJ
I’d look into LiDAR USA. A lot of those payloads may not be compatible with M300 though but would be for an M600
