Which drone is right?
Buying the wrong drone for drone mapping can be a waste of money! Don’t make this mistake and get the right advice.
Read this blog to assess your options.
Do you need RTK?
Deciding if you need RTK or ground control points depends on the positional accuracy for your need for your data.
We explain it all in this detailed blog.
Matrice 4 Enterprise
We tested the latest DJI Matrice 4 Enterprise, putting it through its mapping paces, and compared it to the Mavic 3E.

What you will learn with this e-book
The essential guide to drone mapping that will save you years of trial and error learning
Essential tips for drone mapping
We guide you through decisions such as where to fly (legally and ethically), the sort of drone to buy for your needs, the apps you should use for mission planning, and how to create an effective flight plan to acquire data suitable for environmental mapping.
Calculating your optimal flying height
There is no point in covering a large area if you can’t identify your feature of interest. We explain the math you need to do to fly at an optimal height so you can properly capture the features you are trying to map.
Choosing the best time of the day for drone mapping
Learn how to determine the optimal time for drone image capturing and take into consideration factors that may impact your mission such as weather conditions and environmental factors.
Selecting the best mission planning app
Some apps control the drone itself and some apps provide a peripheral but equally important service, such as ensuring that we're operating safely and legally while flying. We provide the essential guidelines you need to choose the app suited for your needs.
Catching your drone
It may sound basic, but catching drones in mid air is a risky business. We teach you how to do it correctly.
Ground control
Sometimes it’s not possible to find reasonable ground control so we need to create our own. Aeropoints are designed for this purpose and we teach you all you need to know about them.
