Like.
I’m curious how most of you are handling data delivery right now. Are you just dropping everything in a Google Drive or Dropbox link, or do you have another system in place? When we started National Drone Services, the idea was to build a... -
adm_geomatics replied to the thread How is everyone delivering data to their clients?.It depends on the client. Some want the raw unedited photos to cloud storage, some want them uploaded to a cloud processing platform like DroneDeploy and some order the whole package and need maps, contours and maybe some volumetrics. These are...

adm_geomatics replied to the thread Hello.Good morning from Texas Igor. What kind of droning do you do?

adm_geomatics replied to the thread DSP.Pilot Contracting Network. Like Zeitview and FlyGuys. There are probably about five right now that you can get work pretty much anywhere and then a bunch of others that focus on just their region.
-
adm_geomatics replied to the thread DSP.An actual DSP or Pilot Contracting Network? There's a big difference. In my experience just do your own thing and supplement by joining every PCN you can. To get hired by an actual, established DSP will require a lot of experience and/or...

adm_geomatics replied to the thread LAANC Approved, Read to fly?.No mind. FAA trumps ATC every day so you did the right thing. That sounds like a grumpy Controller.

adm_geomatics replied to the thread LAANC Approved, Read to fly?.Any time I have fly inside the bounds of an airport I notify ATC of take-off and landing. Many times the authorization will actually request this. I'm surprised yours doesn't.

adm_geomatics replied to the thread Hello From Alaska.Hi Thomas! Welcome from Texas. I look forward to learning what you have going on!

adm_geomatics replied to the thread Drones & High School Football Games.It's well known that drone presence is going to increase across anything that can be considered interesting and entertaining. The actions you mention need to be investigated immediately. If they do not have Part 107 certifications and are not...

Love.
Working in Public Safety, I see TFR's as being a totally misunderstood point when flying. Whether an agency is operating under Part 107 or Part 91, TFR's are misunderstood. As part of a solid preflight check, the RPIC MUST check for TFR's in... -

adm_geomatics replied to the thread The Facts about the Texas drone crash.I was on-call for the disaster relief effort and inquired about the lack of airspace restrictions with Emergency Sevices. They said that the situation was covered by other agencies and I could be assured it was being handled properly. Nothing was...

adm_geomatics replied to the thread Lidar to photogrammetry mesh layer comparisons.This would be my question as well. First off, how was the LiDAR generated. Manned aircraft, drone? I understand a problem with not having checkpoints from the LiDAR mission but there should be some common features that you can create checkpoints...

adm_geomatics reacted to Dave Pitman's post in the thread Lidar to photogrammetry mesh layer comparisons with Like.
Your project there highlights perfectly why you (and anyone else including the LIDAR survey op) HAVE to prove your work with checkpoints. Understand that RMSE is a mathematical estimate. It can be a very good indicator of precision. But...

adm_geomatics replied to the thread 4 Square mile ranch.Does the client require it?

adm_geomatics replied to the thread New member.Welcome @Agrostology! Texas here. Glad you have had a good start to your journey. What drone are you flying?
-
adm_geomatics replied to the thread 4 Square mile ranch.Thanks for catching that. My new estimate would be: Travel - $150 Site - $1300 Computer - $1700 $3150
-
4 square miles is 2560 acres. 1 square mile is 640 acres.
-
Its a somewhat unfair question. The Matrice is a new drone packing the newest technology, while the Autel is a dated drone that is creeping closer to End of Life. Both will do the job you need, but if you are going to offer other services the...

adm_geomatics replied to the thread Hello from VT/NH.Good morning from Texas! Welcome!
-
This is what I needed, just a ballpark number.
-
adm_geomatics replied to the thread 4 Square mile ranch.A mission of 4 sqmi (640 acres) would be close to 2.5 hours of actual flight time at 200ft AGL, so add the time it would take for multiple setups to maintain VLOS. Make sure to use real-time terrain following. Travel to and from the site, data...
