Drone mapping is not so much a commodity anymore as much as it used to be. Drones are being used for all kinds of applications, from inspections to search & rescue, construction progress monitoring, and utility asset management. Drones are becoming an intricate part of everyday operations in so many industries. This video goes over the basics of how to build a drone-based mapping business with an easy-to-use software called Drone Deploy that will take care of every aspect of the business!

Check out Drone Deploy here: bit.ly/3XLmff5
►UPDATE 7/19/22
Drone Deploy just added support for the DJI Mavic Air 2s. You are now able to fly automated flight missions with the Drone Deploy application with supported IOS devices. Pick up the Air 2s here from Amazon for $999 amzn.to/3PkffBr
► Here are a few drones that I recommend for Drone Photogrammetry
1) DJI Phantom 4 Pro V2.0 (This is the best mapping drone to date, do NOT get the "+" version as it is not supported by mapping software at all): amzn.to/3rMUUe2
2) DJI Mavic 2 Pro (This is the drone that I started mapping with, still a great option!): amzn.to/3LgeDLc
3) DJI Air 2 (This just got supported and is the BEST entry drone to get into Drone Photogrammetry, UNDER $800 for Fly More Bundle): amzn.to/3KeDDRs

I was able to hear a detailed explanation of the drone mapping business! I am now 66 years old, and after retirement as a civil servant in Korea, I started flying drones as a hobby, and after learning 'Premier Pro' for video editing, I am uploading drone videos on RU-vid, and three years ago I qualified as a drone instructor After acquiring it, I give lectures at drone flight academies, and I also work on pest control with agricultural drones. In the meantime, an acquaintance asked if I could make a map of agricultural land, so I watched your RU-vid video to learn how to use Pix4D capture and Drone Deploy, and I learned a lot from your lecture! I will be visiting your channel often to learn more in the future, and I also learned something very useful from this video. Your lecture was the best!

@maurofotografiasrj 10 месяцев назад

Dylan, Thank you for taking the time to make this beautiful and explanatory video for everyone. I already took a complete mapping course with a drone 3 years ago and only now will I be able to start with this activity. I'm here in South Florida and I don't have the slightest idea of the base amount I can charge future clients, to carry out mapping, with photogrammetry and 3D information..... Can you help me with this and tell me where I can get it? This cost reference and what can I charge customers? I know it varies from region to region, but I don't want to charge anything below what the market charges. I am already an experienced drone pilot and know how to do mapping.

That’s exiting, welcome to the industry! I’ll see how I can integrate how to get jobs and proven methods to get clients with mapping hopefully later this year!

@mountainslapstick6170 2 года назад

You can't do accurate drone mapping without a surveyor or photogrammetrist all you can do is, sell fancy 3D maps that have no "claimed" spatial accuracy. Its not as simple as buy a drone, fly drone get clients.

@DylanGorman 2 года назад

That’s not entirely true. You can still capture using an RTK drone or processing using PPK methods. It’ll be cheaper yes, accurate yes, but obviously can’t pass it off as a “drone survey”. I have several clients that pay for us to run mapping missions that aren’t geo-referenced with survey grade accuracy. They only care about relative accuracy as they are using it for visual inspections. But again it’s the client that you are selling your services to and what they are looking for. I do disagree with the “you can’t do accurate mapping” statement though because it’s been proven to not be 100% true. I still see your point though. Just my experience!

@mountainslapstick6170 2 года назад

@@DylanGorman If you can't certify it to be willing to spend millions of dollars to design off of it, then it's not accurate. Can it be close, sure. Accurate.... mmm well no. So again I wouldn't advertise that. Still good video though!

@DylanGorman 2 года назад

Fair enough. I guess is really just depends on what the clients looking for then! I appreciate your comments though!

@thompsondroneworx 2 года назад

Dylan, with a small property like this do you ever feel the need to run a separate flight at a different gimbal angle in order to capture better 3D details? I've been experimenting and have been seeing that I have seen some better results doing a flight at -30 degrees but you need to expand the flight path as it can't see the property at the close proximity. Maybe I'm doing something wrong and you can offer some suggestions for achieving the best 3D results. Thanks and love the videos!

@reality-warp Год назад

I do photogrammetric mapping of forestry areas. I'll do 5 passes if an area is particularly complex - one nadir (top town), and 4 passes with the camera at a 30-45 degree oblique angel from the cardinal directions. However my work isn't making me nearly that much money -- I'm paid a flat salary and the photogrammetry data is ONLY used to plot spray drone flight routes - what the company is paid for is the sprayed acerage.

@EnemyOfYourStat Год назад

Hey Dylan, thank you for putting this together! I have been very interested in starting a business using this technology. My question is, if you were just starting what resources would you recommend for learning the proper steps to doing everything legal and safe? I.e. what licenses to acquire, what tools/apps to use to determine if you need a permit, how to acquire the permits etc. I have a mavic air 2 that I plan to use for this and am ready to begin mapping asap so sample sites to build a portfolio. Thanks again for what you are doing.

Maybe an android thing or some setting I need to first enable....or maybe that feature has since been removed? Thanks!

@carlfinney9974 Год назад

Very cool! Would using a camera with a LiDAR sensor to map be preferable? Or does matter really matter? In my work I’m already using my own utility application to access my iPhone 13 pros LiDAR sensor to scan the interior of residential property for accurate square footage measurements and I use my drone to get exterior pics that you can’t get from the ground . That’s a nice database. Would LiDAR be better?

@Mike-hm2gc 2 года назад

Would you advise someone to quit their day job and set up a drone business that offers the services you described? Or it would be too much of a risk ? Also, do you have a website where you advertise your services? If yes, I’d love to pay a visit and see how you market your services. Thanks!

I have had the Samsung 360 camera well over 6yrs and it has barely been used...I recently brought high capacity memory cards on sale back in 2021....so lets say if I really wanted to produce the top quality mapping...Could I implement my phone with a DJI Gimbal, my 360 degree camera and my Mavic 2 Pro? My Mavic 2 Pro has been used mostly in the car scene in very low light at night. I found a purpose for what I have been gathering all these years?

@StudioBovengronds 2 года назад

I tested DD last month. I found reporting rather basic. The dimensions of anything I would rather see on my model and not on a separate list. They promise that you can edit your report in the tool itself, but it doesn't work. Maybe if you have the paid version. You can only share the 3d model with customers via a web link (from DD itself). For more than $200 a month, you also have to pay extra for adding GCPs. The app itself is super easy to use.

@DylanGorman 2 года назад

I’m glad you got to test it out. For sharing other files we usually export in geotiff or a shp file for ingesting into other softwares. We do have to enterprise version so we do have extra tools but for the most part we only use those two exports for our clients. The web viewer is cool because we can annotate on it and sent it to our client as well as export a pdf of the report to them too.

Have a great idea if i could only get started with the 107, to make the money I need to invest in the idea I have.

@magiofthoth 2 года назад

secondary question if someone does end up seeing my comments: Can i use GCP's without a "surveying" drone? aka, could an Air2s use GCPs of a existing surveying team, and get the accurate info? or will I have to purchase a drone similar or better to the phantom rtk?

@DylanGorman 2 года назад

For your second question, you can 100% use GCP's without a survey drone. Its done all the time just know that you need to work with a licensed surveyor in order to call it a survey accurate drone map. For your first question, i have heard about the changes, I have not seen the new questions but overall you need to score a 70% or higher in order to pass. I missed 2 questions and still scored a 94% on my exam. I still think it is doable without the new study material but again I haven't seen the new questions just yet.

How does the 'customer' view the final models? Do they have to go into DD to view, or can the models be sent to the customer for viewing on some other image viewer?

Does drone deploy app work with dji air 2s? I can’t seem to launch the drone while using the app

Would LOVE to start a drone mapping business but just found out that this software will not work with my new dji mini 2 drone. So, no reason to even try an d downoad this software. Oh well, i still love watching your videos. love your work.

I would check out one of my newer videos! I show you how to use the mini 2 to do basic mapping missions! Best part is that it’s free!

Mr. D, do you currently have a contest in which you are giving away DJI Mini 3 Pro? If not, someone is using your info and doing this. If you are, can you provide more info on the contest?

@Jukeboxandi Год назад

Hey Dylan! I‘m wondering if it‘s possible to do easy photogrammetry with an FPV drone like the DJI Avata.

@Boodieman72 Год назад

The enterprise DJI's has a controller that does what your iPad does, so hope it works on those drones.

Hey dylan, amazing video! How do you get clients for your mapping services and how do you list it?

Yes. Would love a video on this 👍

my thought is you must have contact with developer/people..

Are you typically not using GCP’s for accuracy of the mapping?

@DylanGorman 2 года назад

It depends on the project. Most of what we do is for property inspection (cracks in pavement, trash on site, water buildup on rooftops). If we do anything with earthworks then we do use GCP’s!

Was the 3D model in this video done without GCP’s? If so I’m very impressed and very interested in getting into this.

@DylanGorman 2 года назад

It’s was not done with GCP’s but you can easily create a model with one!

@russellsherman9358 2 года назад

Thanks Dylan, this looks very good, I’m on the edge of getting a drone to help create site plans. I don’t need accurate georeferencing but I do need to be able to pull accurate measurements from my drone map/model. I’m trying to figure out if I’d need GCP’s, I really don’t want to take that extra step yet. Can you take fairly accurate measurements from your drone map without GCP’s? I really appreciate your videos and responses. Thanks Dylan

@DylanGorman 2 года назад

You can for reference but if it’s for any survey work or engineers you will need to use GCP’s for that data to be accurate!

@tommyb9746 2 года назад

@@DylanGorman you will also need a survey license to be able to sell that data at that point.

@DylanGorman 2 года назад

@@tommyb9746 Correct, or if a survey company hires you to capture the data you can go that route as well! It's what we do almost all the time.

@drewbutts7461 2 года назад

I do have enough money for an advanced drone. I’m wanting to get into agricultural since my market, central CA, would be very strong for that. Should I make do with a mavic 2 pro, or even an air, or should I just an enterprise type drone.
