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 all PDF's and TIFF's. Very rarely but some do want...

Good morning from Texas Igor. What kind of droning do you do?

Does the client require it?
