Looking for an M2XX (or Inspire 2) pilot to run 5 small Ag Mapping Missions (raging from 5-15 acres) in Irvine / Temecula / Escondio. Can provide RedEdge Sensor and mount if you don't have the sensor. Needs to be done by the end of September. Contact me for more details if interested.

Wondering if anyone has experienced using Datumate for photogrammetry? How do they compare in features, ease-of-use (pilot and customer side) and price to some of the other big players offering competing products in the market like Pix4D or Bentley ContextCapture?

Well I got a reply from a manufacturer that gave me a lengthy technical explanation amounting to the fact the solid-state lasers are appropriate for surveying applications. They are more for object avoidance and that type of thing (being used in cars as opposed to radar). So it looks like for...

Apparently, they are starting to build small solid state lidar sensors so they are more a form factor and weight like a Flir Vue thermo sensor. Problem is, seems these are all just sensors with no data storage function (microSD slot) built in like the Flir Vue. Anyone know if someone has taken...

I'm doing a topographic survey of a rural area with about 500ft of elevation change (I'm breaking it up into sections where each section has only 250ft of elevation change). Will output a DXF with contour lines and possibly a DEM or DTM. I only need accuracy within 12 inches. Will have ground...

I'm planning on getting an Emlid Reach RS and utilize CORS to establish precise coordinates for ground control points used in photogrammetry (drone surveying). I'm using GCPs because I don't have a remote sensor setup on my drone yet. I'm new to this and I can't seem to locate a "How To" for how...

This is a good write up summarizing much of what I've already gathered however in general I'm finding the amount of information (or number of people) that have "figured it out" is pretty small for these types of large land surveying applications. Recommendations in many cases are all over the...

I'm looking to do a topographic survey of a 700 acre site where the vertical measurement accuracy needs to be within 12 inches. So dividing that by 3 means I can have a HSD of 4in/pixel or better (it will be better due to altitude limits.) So I have a few questions. There seems to be no...
