Y’all missing the point saying how it’s so expensive to start and he’s not even working. All I know is he took a hobby he liked, found a nitch, saved, worked and made more money than I’ll ever get flying drones. Then is kind enough to share the information for free on how to do it. Also he never once said the word easy in the video. Keep up the great work man!
Say it louder for the haters in the comments! Finally, some common sense. Thank you!
@@IndianaDrones thank you man! Maybe pin it?
Nitch?
@@billybull7419 it's a market that you can sell to that has a lot of demand but no competition usually very specific. It's a great way to start a business is by finding a nitch.
It’s still bs lmao try doing that with no cash.. never gonna happen
No you worked at this for years. The end result of 1000x’s of hours. Being at the right place at the right time but waiting for years in that one spot while spending $100,000’s in schooling, gear and software.
Im sorry but I’m not a fan of this kind of content. Don’t cheapen what you have accomplished for clicks.
We're just trying to help spark more interest in the LiDAR community Daniel!
@@IndianaDrones I hear you. I think there is enough people pumping how “easy” it is to do LiDAR data. Not enough people showing the hard parts.
@@LiDARs That's why I have an entire channel full of all the hard parts!
@@LiDARs what’s hard about it. Fly a camera around map an area bring it back plug it into the computer. Then push and click buttons on the computer. Something being hard to learn and hard to do are so different things. But there is nothing physically hard about this.
@@apbt067 physical hard no. I’m not going to explain what can go wrong and make the whole industry look like fools.
The fact is anyone can go buy a cheap drone and go fly it. Will they know how good their data is, is another question. Why it’s bad data is another and how to resolve to a proper outcome is the final.
I consult on data capture and conversion. Noobs left right and center making my and just about every VDC’s job a nightmare.
Here's how I made $45K... First, I spent $100K...
Your numbers are way off! And after my initial overhead investment is covered, I can make more money to earn a good ROI.
@@IndianaDrones poor capitalists mindset
@@liamprincetech and ofc there's no reply
@@liamprincetech don’t bother lmao it’s all for likes and views.
@@liamprincetech He doesn't have "one reply", you are not his boss, he is his own boss building a legit business for himself and his family, crazy concept right?
Bro this screams “only for the already rich” 🤣
Nah bro he was already busted. It takes 1000s of hours of work and school and equipment. Along with him waitting in that spot for years.
It's a business endeavor / opportunity that requires a lot less money (and time) than a traditional college education. So, what's the problem?
not for you dude I’m saying for
anyone who is trying get into this. Good on you if you have all that money, not every one does that’s what I meant. Maybe you didn’t start off like that but thats besides the point. You already have the funds and resources to do this, like a computer with a capable processor and stuff to do imaging like that.
This isn’t something just anyone can do unless they also have the funds or if they are willing to throw away everything they have to attempt success like this.
That’s a fact.
You literally start off your video with saying you use a several thousand dollar drone.
Also a fact.
“I looked up the drone if by some chance you were wondering”
Never was I ever trying to diminish your hard work.
@@roguecataclysm017 Yes, but it's still a worthy business investment for those that are willing and able to get into the industry. Is it not?
@@IndianaDrones did I ever say it wasn’t?
And secondly
I was just being honest, something you should learn to be in your videos apparently.
That video is Clickbait
You never actually state how expensive it is to do it, you just say “you can do it”
Just be more honest.

Do you not understand how a business works? No shit he has to buy the equipment first. As well as the software and the knowledge and he has to pay with time
Sure let me just get my $10,000 dollar drone out😂
We're all waiting!
That's price is just for RTK. lidar drone cost more
that drones probably like 30k or 40k
This guys a douche just look at all his responses and responses alike. Telling everybody that can't put that amount upfront "toughshit" basically. In this life if you dont grow up privilaged without hardships and start at the bottom of the barrel, you will most likely stay at the bottom with the rest of us bottom feeders while dudes like these get rich quick schemes flap money infront saying look how it easy it is knowing too damn well that its not a possibility with most of us.
That camera itself is like 46 k. Who know how much after tax. Like holy shit
Just so y’all know that LiDAR cam is about 14,000$ , and that drone is like 15,000🤣
Now add in the mapping software to post process the data. Then if it you made an error. I hope you have some good errors and omissions insurance.
Signed - Land surveyor
The good news: you can make more money after you cover your initial investment.
That LiDAR camera is actually $46,800.
@@liamprincetech 🤣 needing expensive specialist tools to be able to do high paying speciality work is a pyramid scheme now ???
@@IndianaDrones ...right after we are forced to buy an EV right? Pffffft. Pipe dreams.
I started doing unmanned systems in 1998 eventually working my way into getting investors and taking on military contracts doing drones as they started to become status quo. If you pick a specialty like he is talking about like LiDAR topo point cloud or any kind of survey type of work you will make substantial chunks of change.
Truth!
State boards will require a Land Surveyor license for generating Topo or I'd tied to a boundary. It's coming so start studying and getting your experience!
@@tomthomsen11 It's already here. NC state board is suing several companies.
35 tears licensed here in SoCal. Wanted to retire but now my kids are getting their civil degrees (1 more year and it's my daughters,, not my boys). So....I'll keep plugging along until they are licensed. Having both a Civil and survey license helps ensure you have work when the economy crashes. Having the drone and software adds another tool to the toolbox! Nowhere near as tight as GPS or a total station but it's okay for dirt shots!
Sorry, YEARS not tears! lol!

You can always make more money after you cover achieve a ROI.
@@onlyeveryone2253 yeah but how often does he get plum jobs like this?
This is obviously the best case scenario, and that's giving the benefit of the doubt it's even accurate.
Damn your my new hero I've made about 2000 but nothing on your scale. I'm in Indiana as well.
Keep going!
In most cases, you have to be a registered surveyor to sign off the data to be used in construction etc
A lot quicker and easier than getting a four-year college degree!
Homeboy forgot you needa be a licensed Surveyor to provide mapping data 😬
I can't even get a dji mini 2
Buy mini one then
I work for a huge company doing the same but make 45k in half a year. I just need the money to invest in the equipment
We can help you out with that over at www.rockrobotic.com - We recently lowered the cost of our LiDAR unit! Let us know if we can help.
@@IndianaDrones lol so your basically a sponsor for the company your trying to get people involved in, my good sir that’s a pyramid scheme with extra steps
By the way is that enable knowing the terrain heights in the scanned area? Highest point and lowest point ? Or that’s another system to use ?
Flying drones has been a huge hobby of mine for upwards of 7+ years. It is very inspiring to see the potential of turning it into a source of income via LiDAR, as well as other avenues. I was seeing some of the hate this was getting, and was surprised in some instances in the lack of common sense. In any case, your content and the effort you put into it is very appreciated! Keep it up bro!

But then you're not really flying it.
With just $25k of equipment and no guaranteed work you could have $48k in two days!

Hye man, how do you get these jobs? Also, do you need any other official qualifications other than knowing the software/material and a UAS pilot's license?
Partnering with surveying and engineering firms is a great resource.
Sure but I know that LiDAR camera is about $27,000 USD plus it requires I think two subscriptions which total a few grand a year to get all the features.
I'm sure it took more than 48 hours just to set up and learn the equipment
Totally! But the time spent on the job site and producing a final result was indeed 48 hours.

Are you a licensed land surveyor surveyor?
Don't have to be if the client is taking responsibility. Just a licensed pilot. I fly drones and I'm a lidar tech.
To make money that most people don’t you need to do what most people aren’t willing to do. Even when you tell them how to do it they argue. 😂
I love the way you are making lidar survey basically... NOT BORING!!!

I love when they don't tell me how.
Visit www.rockrobotic.com for information on our Aerial LiDAR products and services. Contact us for more details!
@@IndianaDrones Oh, so you own the company or work for the people that made the products?
Estimated Math..
Drone $13k + batteries+ R3 Pro Lifar Camera $30k + RockRobitc Software Subscription $2k a year = So it is pretty big investment to start off.
So I guess on job1 (2 days) to pay for itself and then on jobs 2 +♾️ you will make profit 😁
That is very common! If you already have the work then this math works really fast! But if you don't, all hope is not lost. There is a large surplus of survey firms that want to do this but don't have the youth with the passion and attention to detail to help get them going. If I was starting today, I would go watch all my video - ask me to make some more tutorials. Then go to a survey firm - say that you want to become a Drone Party Chief - get a job for 80K a year... then learn all the survey stuff on the job. Then Boom - you too will get the 45K per 2 day jobs!
How are you able to get around part 107 or restriction of not being able to fly autonomously?

Thanks dude!
Its a great job, when i will have free 15k€ imma defo get into it, but im sure you can start with sliplier setups, may be inspire or mavic enterpirse?
Yes you can, there's a decent commercial market for visual drone inspections, and you can do them with something as simple as a mavic, And if you don't wanna pay for schooling, if you're a highschool student, some community colleges offer classes to get a commerical drone liscense, all completely free.
@@greenalien8503 thanks for info
@@skidhvh np, I took one of those free classes myself last year at Ventura college (in California), and I can say they're really helpful, completely free, and teach you everything from legal requirements, to communicating with local ATC to get special permissions, to keeping logs and planning out inspection flights (required by law if I remember). They also teach you about all of the different carreer options for you (including what this guy did in the video), and even how to fly different types of drones and give you hands on expirience with flying some fix wing and Mavic type drones out in a field. They pretty much hold your hand the entire way up to yourself official certification test.
I would've gotten my liscense too if I hadn't dropped out early due to personal reasons
But even if you're not a highschool student joining some free program out there, paying to take a class to get your license isn't that expensive. The biggest cost would definitely be buying a drone in the first place lol.
What kind of training do you have to take do this? and where do you take it? I am new to drone hobby and would like to do some more research on this
Check out the rest of my channel for some more good content!
For those wondering, the (drone) DJI Matrice 300 costs about $16,000, the LIDAR (camera) costs about $30,000; and the software to run this on averages about $50-$199/month
All a worthy business investment. The ROCK R2A LiDAR is $19,995! Visit www.rockrobotic.com for information on our Aerial LiDAR products and services. Contact us for more details!
I just got a mavic 3 from DJI and I would love to learn how to do stuff like this… where do I start?
You can do this if you go to school for civil engineering or surveying, then work under someone for several years. Then get your license, then buy all of this equipment, then convince a high paying client that a Joe schmoe is better than a professional organization.
I'd say you can't teach a soul to do this.
I miss being apart of surveying that was an amazing experience!
I still dont understand. Did you sell the 3d model to make the 45k?
45 thousand dollars, but can't afford a simple haircut? :P
Calm down Vidal Sassoon
@@IndianaDrones he's not wrong man you look 12.
Great video! What about the other 363 days of the year? Are payouts like this once in a career or is there enough work out there to make this a consistent source of revenue? Congrats on your success!
How much did the drone/LiDAR scanner cost?
Please reach out to hello@rockrobotic.com and we will get you more information!
Well, with a 13k drone, and as an example, let's say 7k of additional expenses for software and peripherals. They would only have to do 5 jobs at the same rate to recoup experience. After that the the only major expenses would be upkeep and marketing costs.
And a small business loan would more than cover that small of a startup cost.
I would think that the hardest part of all of this would be finding a consistent market for it.
Great job to the guy for turning a hobby that they obviously love, into a potential career.
I did some 3D mapping 6 years ago with my $800 Mavic Pro. Started with some autonomous missions, traveling over mountains where you would lose connection if you were flying by remote. It's crazy how good the quality is now. Mine was just using the built in camera, this thing has some crazy custom lidar cameras. This is possible with a $600 setup, jsyk. Quality won't be as good, but it's possible. The program I used for the 3D mapping is for DJI drones. You could get a setup like this guys for probably 10k less than he spent, he obviously wanted some good equipment, but you don't need lidar to make 3D models. I made a 3D model of some buildings, and an apartment complex, just messing around. It's interesting to me. That was 3 drones ago, I've got the DJI Mavic Air 2 now, haven't really flown it that much lately. It's fun to fly every now and then though. Wish I was making some money with it.

From working in the field of GIS and surveying, these services and price points are in line with what he's saying....but the projects are requested first. .meaning you need to already be hired to do it.
Excellent. You almost covered your overhead in 2 days! Most people struggle mightily to start with the initial capital outlay.

I dont think most of the comments here realize how business investments work. You have to spend money to make money, the only difference between this and any other freelance job is that the initial investment is higher but that also makes the returns higher.
This!
Thank you for sharing this!
I mean all he said is he made 45k in 48 hours, never claimed anyone else could do it. Just said he did it, sure he spent plenty on the equipment but gotta spend money to make money usually.

Google will have lidar drones surveying everything in 2 years. They will sell a “service” to do frequent mapping on construction sites. I know someone on the project
That's what everyone in the field is already doing!
Great, now you can afford an adult hat. :P Congrats.
Daaaaaaamn son!
Good job
That's really cool i really want to get into drones but I had one and lost control didn't know what to do kind of scary with a powerful more expensive drone
Lol, we had whole explorers going around mapping locations and over generations , itd get revised with growing tech. Now it just takes 2 days😂
Wish I could do this with my Mavic 3 Classic. If DJI would only update the software to include this feature!
That is so sick! ❤
The most lucrative job in any supply chain is the one that allows you to relax in Maldives while people are compiling data.
Can't disagree!
So how did you acquire the drone? looks expensive.
What software did you use to do 3d mapping? How did you edit it after and in what software?

Hey Daniel, me and a buddy are trying to start a Aerial land surveying business. Not planning on doing any lidar yet. Mostly just making 3d maps through drone deploy. What are your recommendations on equipment for beginners?
All you need is a decent $1k drone with a RGB camera, a drone pilot license, laptop and a vehicle. Cloud account with drone deploy. That'd be good enough to start with mapping open terrain. Vegetated areas not recommended until you get Lidar.
