Drone Deploy Mapping Demo Tutorial | DJI Mavic Pro

[@aeroscout8409]

I've had my Inspire 1 for 4 years. Added the P3 and P4P bout 2 years ago. Had no real knowledge about geo mapping, drone deploy or pix4d. Got an opportunity to collaborate on a drone mission which forced me to start looking for definitions of terms like 85 top overlap, 85 side overlap, double-grid RGB ortho. Your video answered all those questions and then some. Thanks for taking the time to put this together. And I did subscribe to your channel.

[@mostafasokkar7846]

Hello I wanaa to learn more about drones like u can u tell me what to do?

[@aeroscout8409]

@@mostafasokkar7846 I actually bought a small Syma X5 drone to train with. If it crashes, very little damage to it because of the prop guards. Train in a very open area at first with very little, in any, wind till you get better at the controls.. I'm a licensed aircraft pilot, so that helped tremendously with my drone flight familiarization and training. Did a lot of homework watching KZbin vids, talked to my hobby shop pro's, other drone pilots to help me determine the best drone for my operation. Ask questions. One thing about KZbin post is that a lot of people take the time to post something that could be very helpful, but do not respond to questions. Don't let that discourage you. Email me at [e-mail] if you have more questions.....

[@welzoliver9501]

As the first time ever looking into this app this has been a very helpful I've been flying a DJI mavic pro for 3 years and wanted to get into this type of software but I've always been a little intimidated but you made it a lot easier to understand and I look forward to watching your videos over and over and more your videos on this particular app so that I can start offering these types of services along with my Ariel real estate photography,

[@NicolasDiaz-hl4pc]

Hope you do more videos of mapping drones and softwares. They are really valuable 👊

[@pmh1nic]

Thank you. This was my introduction to mapping. There is a lot to learn.

[@jeffyneedsanap]

Thanks Mark - great video!

[@SkyFireDrone2022]

You should start your flight at the farthest waypoint from your take-off / landing point so your drone flies closer as the battery runs out, not farther away.

[@markalan1386]

I will agree.

[@droneologistuk]

How can you change the starting point for the flight please?

[@jbdavis267]

What did you plan the mission on ? Phone, Laptop, Tablet ? And how did you get it over into the controller. Thanks for any info you can shed on that.

Hey Mark, thanks for the video. I know its a few years old, but this is great as I am sure you have learned so much more since then. Mark I work with septic systems and I need a solution to help figure out elevations and the layout of the property and trying to see if drones and software like this would work. Would you be willing to chat for a few minutes? How could I contact you? Thanks!

[@clintonhowell2892]

I'm actually watching this while researching the same exact use case. If you have found any information regarding this I would greatly appreciate any advice or material you might have. Thanks!

[@MrPakico]

I have a mavic 2 enterprice with dual camera. Would that give the same information wich you show on this video or do I need something else to get these information off the land and the picture I make with the dual camera ?

[@mrwoodstocker]

Hey Mark. Need a sincere advice. I have taking some drone flying lesson and feel more comfortable on the post field works. I am looking at options to work on the processing part of the business. Quick ones 1) Can I do that independent of the flying 2) Do I need to take a full course from drone deploy or any one or can I learn on the go if I take small processing assignments from multiple flyers? A piece of suggestion and way forward would be great help

[@keatonwesterkamp8220]

Hey Icen roz, if I understand your questions correctly, it’s a slim market for 3D mapping with drone, so I would learn how to fly too because it makes you that much more valuable and you’re not splitting costs with the drone pilot. Don’t forget though, flying a drone for commercial operations (things that make money) requires a Part 107 certification from the FAA. You don’t need to take a full course if you’re willing to learn and experiment on your own with the software until you feel comfortable with it. Hope this helps!

[@welzoliver9501]

I suggest that you take your part 107 training course through the pilot institute they will explain it and teach you in detail Greg is an awesome instructor with the pilot institute and he has several other courses that he will give you for free and some courses you have to pay for but it will help you tremendously along with this gentleman that's teaching the drone deploy software and how to use it to increase your revenue but I suggest you start with aerial real estate photography and videography when doing so fly in tripod mode it will slow down the reaction of your sticks so that you don't have jerky video. Or there is apps for that where you can do basically the same thing you can go on your computer and design your mission and then go out to the home or land and start the mission and take photos of the home the barn the land everything preset at altitudes and direction of camera and everything basically like drone deploy but for real estate I'm trying to think of the name of the app.its Litchi it will be a great experience for you and helping you shoot real estate I don't always use it depends on the size of the home or the property if it's a small 1500 square foot home on a small lot I just do it freehand but on a larger piece of land I will go on lychee and design a flight plan but this drone deploy app is phenomenal and the way this gentleman is teaching it is incredible thank you so much for teaching us this software. Sincerely, Welz Oliver Rocket City Aerial photography and video.

[@SnowyOwlPrepper]

Do these flight services like yours consult with outside experts in science? I could see a business niche for providing designed mission parameters to arrive at answers for specific questions. If there are such firms it would be interesting to identify them.

[@alexandrelopes307]

Hello Mark, I would like to know if you made any modifications to the Mavic Pro, or does it come with a multispectral camera? Thanks a lot! Best regards Alexandre Trindade

[@michaelbusby9224]

How does Drone Deploy arrive at an NDVI image with only RGB? NDVI is a function of red and NIR, so I don't understand where the "plant health" is derived.

[@photography4390]

AMAZING VIDEO BRO...THANKS

[@smithbmj]

Enjoyed the video. If the battery drains before the flight plan is completely flown, can you land, install a fresh battery, and resume where the flight left off?

[@smithbmj]

My apology. I see this question was asked and answered earlier.

[@Xuanlvn]

可以,继续该任务就可以了。

[@welzoliver9501]

Good question I have to go back and look for the answer I would assume so

[@paganhoneyproductions]

I am a new drone pilot and I live in a very rural/agricultural area, I can throw a rock from my window and almost hit a canola field. What are the rates you charge for this assessment? I'm sure I could help local farmers where I live but $450/mnth is a bit expensive to just be nice 😁. Is this something that would be requested several times through out the season or is this a once a year kind of assessment? What all do you give to the customer? Does Drone Deploy wrap up a nice little packet to hand out with your report?

[@welzoliver9501]

Damn good question and no 450 is not expensive per month you'll probably be charging that for acre of land

[@TheJoncic]

Can you extract election points by pixel like a DEM layer does in GIS?

[@markgervase822]

Is there anything special about the camera that you used on the Mavic pro? I’m flying a DJI air 2S and was wondering if I can expect the same results. I imagine it’s a standard RGB camera.

[@welzoliver9501]

I think you will be fine for now it's all in what filter you use over your lens of course depending if it's sunny or cloudy that day I'm not sure how good your zoom is on that but I would think you could do just fine with that drone I mean you're only going to be flying 50 ft over a soybean filled anyway

[@ashbarismayil4452]

[@ycpan88]

Hi Mark, do I have to buy the brand DJI drone to use this software?

[@ncrosshproductions6859]

Great video! I’m in Arizona, but I was wondering how you price this service? By the acre? What’s the going rate if you don’t mind me asking? Thank you!

[@redtrollairsoft4701]

Most companies charge by hour but if it is large land I would say a round about price is anywhere between $1000-$2500 but it all depends on the company.

[@welzoliver9501]

I charge personally by the hour in most things I do like real estate photography with a 1 hour minimum at $175 but as I learned this drone deploy software and start doing produce crops I will more than likely charge by how many acres they have with a one anchor minimum so that way you're not going out there for a hundred bucks you're getting at least 3 to $500 depending on how much you're charging for each acre of land depending on the area you live in I live in Huntsville Alabama and would be doing the outskirts of course like harvest or Madison Alabama or Tony Alabama I would probably charge $300 an acre just saying hope that helps I don't know LOL... But if I lived in Terrell Texas which is outside of Dallas Texas I would probably be charging $800 to $1,000 an acre see what I'm saying what you could do is call your competitors and act like a client and see what they charge and then charge $50 less over $25 less you don't want a lowball it too much cuz you want to keep the price up for all of you guys flying drones and trying to make a living or some extra money never lowball it too much keep the price within $50 to maybe $100 depending on the size of the job cheaper than your competitors that way you all still make good money I would start out just $25 cheaper and see if the client bites

[@markalan1386]

I can tell you it’s a very tough market to tap into. It seems as though many farmers are stuck in their old ways or already have a company doing this for them. I would highly recommend trying to find several people who would like to test the service and take it vantage of the 14 day free trial before buying the software.

[@jmeissen1]

@@markalan1386 Also, I am hooked up with a Fertilizer company Owner. We are doing test plots for Wheat Hay stock. The Farmers plant and the large Harvesting companies then own the plant by contract. We are now making paper from it in Starbuck, WA. Columbia Pulp. Used to be the stock had to be burned or cut and was pretty much useless. Taller stock fibers are better for paper. We are developing higher growth stock which now gets an additional $65.00 a ton for what was waste. My drone monitoring measures the Wheat height and plant health also recommending an earlier planting and later harvest.

That’s a great question!! It will return to home and land. Don’t move the drone. Turn off and put in new battery. Don’t close the app. Put in new battery and it will prompt you to continue flight when it boots up. It will take off where it left off from!!!

[@suncityaerialvideo2474]

so I understand your using a special camera for this in reference to the plant health metric?

[@markalan1386]

This is not a special camera. Many farmers and professionals in this business use NVDI cameras. They are infrared camera's that detect heat as a way to determine plant health. I am using a standard RGB camera that comes on any DJI Mavic Pro Drone. Both cameras have there good and bad point...NVDI cameras are extremely expensive and only detect heat..so they cannot be used for any other purpose than plant health. Hope this helps!!!!

[@suncityaerialvideo2474]

thanks for clarifying.

[@cameronschmit6472]

I'm sorry for needing more clarification, but you can get that plant health stuff WITH a camera that's on a Mavic Pro or Air?!

[@markalan1386]

Cameron Schmit yes!! It uses an RGB camera that comes on the Mavic Pro.

[@Merrickul]

Its most likely using the visible atomospheric index OR VARI algorithm in order to test for plant health. I dont think that VARI is nearly as useful for crop health monitoring as many plants health cannot be discerned from their colour alone (visible light spectrum).Drone Deploy should let people know about this before trying to start a business centred around crop monotoring..

[@johneftimiades8026]

What are the parameters set for the camera and gimble. Is the camera set on time lapse or single shot?, Is the gimble pointing the camera down or at an angle?

[@markalan1386]

So you have a couple of options. You can fly with the standard settings from the app or you can set to manual mode and adjust the camera in the DJI app and then switch over to the other app.

[@welzoliver9501]

I would think either straight down or 45° angle probably at 45° angle I would think

[@franciscoasd123]

Mavic 2 Pro is compatible with this program, but there is an extra camera that has infrared sensibility so in resume you can use it but you cant process a real NDVI Info. Also there is a ishue, so I recomend to have only one app open in your phone, if you have two apps of drone flights it recognize only one, so use DJI app to calibrate then close it and then use Drone deploy to connect your programed flights.

[@welzoliver9501]

It really depends on how sunny or cloudy the day is if it's a cloudy day use the smallest one like a number six or use the middle one for a sunny day and for a real bright day use your darkest filter just kind of play around with it on the same photo or make a straight line video of the front of your house with each filter on a cloudy day and or sunny day or super sunny day just play around with it I always use the 16 filter on a sunny day and I in my settings I put sunny or cloudy or whatever so make sure you go into your settings on your drone and change that as well
