Off to finally fly my first capture mission and this video has been really, really helpful, so well made and clearly explained. I feel so much more confident now, having watched it, of knowing what to expect. Thanks so much for doing such a great job 👍

[@DimmyV]

Thank you

[@nurzafirah3246]

This is so helpful! I didn't think DJI Mini 2 would be able to do this as well, thought only the higher ends drones were the only ones able to

[@DimmyV]

If your doing a school project or need basic measurements then yeah this work perfect. If you needing something more accurate and precise you will need a higher end drone preferably with RTK and this is going to cost 10 or thousands in additional equipment in training but you will be charging a hell of a lot more to capture this data.

[@ssb73q]

Hi, thank you for the excellent drone mapping video. I use Map Pilot Pro with my DJI Air 2s to do missions for mapping. I then use WebODM to produce the 2D&3D maps. The new DJI SDK for the Mini 3 with the Plus battery will be an outstanding drone to do mapping using Map Pilot Pro.

[@DimmyV]

Thank You. The DJI Air 2S is one of my favourite drones, waiting on DJI to bring out the Air 3 (I hope). I’ve not heard WebODM is this free… I’m actually looking into making a new video soon (added to the list of others) and only budget/free option i know is Maps Made Easy. Drone Deploy, Propeller Aero are quite pricey but they are legitimately better with all in one workflow. I would add Rock Robotic too. Yes the SDK for Mini 3 is in BETA right now which does mean will it be the better choice to map over the Air 2S, especially when sub250 for smaller projects in airport zones.

Hey Paul it is possible but in terms of accuracy it won't be as accurate compared to drone that has better camera i.e. LIDAR and RTK. If you need just a rough idea sure but if accuracy is needed you would need better drone

Hi, very interesting video, thank you very much, can i do same using dji mini 2 se?

[@DimmyV]

I just had a quick look at the supported drones and unfortunately the Mini 2 SE is not supported. support.dronesmadeeasy.com/hc/en-us/articles/205704366-Supported-Hardware

[@BrUSomania]

This works for simple recreational use; for survey-grade use (i.e. cm accuracy) the Mini 2 results are very limited. This is mainly due to the rolling shutter of the Mini 2 camera; a global shutter is basically a must in order to achieve the best orthophotos and pointclouds. You can sort of simulate a global shutter with the Mini 2 by stopping up before each camera shot, but this of course takes much more time and consumes A LOT of power.

[@DimmyV]

Yes I agree this video was merely just for educational use to get the principles, the are obviously far more in depth process involved to get accurate data. If this was for a school project then this would be sufficient. I would love to do a more indepth video on this but right now I'm going down the route of FPV as its more fun flying experience. Appreciate your input and thanks for watching. Happy Saturday ☀️

Have you ever thought about paying a subscription to DJI, let me know what you think - kzbin.info/www/bejne/raCmgWuAZdGeq6M

[@lucyferek1983]

🤔

[@Marc-io6pv]

Hey man, thanks for the video & explanation. Can I ask... Say you had a basic subscription, so 7 maps. Once you've downloaded the processed map. How do you share it with a client, like how do they open it? Can you save the exact job settings for over 7 maps, say if it was repeated flights in the sane location? Its just on their website even the elite package only gives you 30 maps, so suggests to me you dont use the maps made easy to share and save settings within that 7-30 as thats a big limitation. Cheers.

[@DimmyV]

If you are going down this route then I would recommend something more robust like DroneDeploy. If you're mapping 30 projects a month then you should be charging and it will be more than enough to cover the cost. You entering the realm of more business development too which is great. I would check out @DylanGorman channel for more info and who has courses that may be able to get you to the next stage where you are meant to be. I hope this helps.

[@Marc-io6pv]

@@DimmyV Thanks for the reply. I'm nowhere yet. Just looking into it. Yeah if you can get 30 jobs a month then happy days for when it comes to upgrading to something else. I just wonder by their wording if it's that you can process 30 maps a month but you can keep more on their database, so a client can check month vs month . Unless they expire like the free ones :s But yeah maybe it's just a real taster type platform. Yes I watch some of his videos, the main software he uses is like 4 grand a year and a lot more involved that wouldn't be needed. So yeah, use this as a taster then find a more intermediate platform. Cheers

[@DimmyV]

@@Marc-io6pv I think it’s a per month but there is also a storage limitation. The amount of photos required adds up fast. Also 4k for the year is not bad considering 1 job can cost that. Minus any other expenses like a drone. This is where doing a profit and loss summary will help you evaluate the business for profitability. Also make you look better are you done the numbers. We’ll get there 🍻

[@Marc-io6pv]

@@DimmyV Well as a startup it's a lot ;) Don't get me wrong I know the cost of commercial kit, I've had & got commercial printers and you've always got to front up. Just the way I was looking at getting into it was more of a photogrammetry lite type service like your video. So people who want up to date maps for sites or estate agents etc but not as involved or technicallly critical as a full service for surveyors, architects etc and where Drone deploy, RTK drones and base stations come in. I might have it wrong and this type of service isn't a thing and the big companies will offer all of it so no point but I don't know :p

for 2d you could probably just stich in PS or LR. sweet vid

[@DimmyV]

Normally in construction editing mapping photos isn't really needed to make it look pretty but I guess an auto edit just to add contrast can help. The photos are JPEG to save space as it ends up taking 100 or 1000s of photos. For a regular pano I use LR and 360 I use Pano stitcher

Hey Joel. Have you restarting the drone by turning it on and off? I know that’s basic but sometimes the simple stuff works. I don’t believe I had this issue when I was testing. Maybe check the latest firmware of the drone. I would check the community forum with maps made easy see if there’s anything similar and try contact them if my initial suggestions don’t work.

[@laulaupictures]

It’s cool tool but I constantly bump into the same issue every time when my mission takes more than 1 battery. Basically, I start the mission no problem and as it returns home for battery change, it obviously disconnects but once I choose to continue the mission, drone starts to react weirdly (going up in spirals and loosing connection) and every time which makes it useless. Any ideas? *DJI Mini2

[@DimmyV]

That is interesting, the area I mapped was small but when I was doing my research with maps made easy it made it straight forward with battery swaps for those that need 1 or more batteries. This is something I would like to test when I move back to Canada. Weather has been awful in England as well as suitable location. I would email maps made easy to see what they say.

[@laulaupictures]

@@DimmyV yeah, it is very strange because I don’t find any troubleshoot in forum about this nor in google search. Good point, I’ll contact them directly ✌️

[@roadwithpurpose]

if you preplan the flight does the app depend on gps satelites or does it need cell service, i need to look at a area where i can get satelites but can get service on the phone,

[@DimmyV]

So the drone would still need gps for geo tagging the photos and stable flight. If you are wanting to download the map for offline use then yes that works. Ideally better to have cell service

[@thorkarstad4294]

Many thanks for this handy vid - wonder if you can save me some time and potential headache with some further related info - 1) -I need to map a steep topographic slope that has numerous trees with substantial canopies - can i intervene on the flight path/view camera when the drome is following a path as i may need to fly lower than the trees for accurate data i can use , as the tree canopies will obscure the actual land terrain for the 3d 2)- can the files produced be integrated into architectural software preferably SketchUp, if not lumion - and if so what file type should I save as (if that is how to do it/an option) I know the number of polygons will be very complex for sketchup- but that's another topic of how to simplify which I am researching unless you can spare a further handy tip on the same. Thanks in advance! Thor - from Kenya - architect/design with a new mini 2 !

[@DimmyV]

Hey Thor glad you enjoyed the video. For your first question, no you cannot adjust the camera during the process. This becomes more complex as the terrain is covered by trees where you would need to scan the area using LIDAR that can penetrate foliage and will likely work with a land surveyor for accurate data and use RTK and GCPs. As for your second point I am not sure as I’ve merely create the video for beginners. Again as this is more professional work you will likely be better off using Drone Deploy or Propellor Aero. I hope this helps I know @DylanGorman has a course that may be of interest to you. Let me know how you get on will be super interested how you work around this challenge

[@thorkarstad4294]

@@DimmyV thanks, limited options here in Kenya and the drone was hard to get in , I'll see what I can figure out and revert, I understand there is post flight software that can use manually taken pics of an area, I'm interested in tree trunks and land slope as it will be for used for a below canopy, above ground , multiple platform treehouse restaurant design then build (all on my plate) and past drone surveyors have not collected data below the canopy (which is crucial for my requirements) Anyway, appreciate the time/response and I will let you know if successful.

Γεια σας και ευχαριστώ. Ένα τρισδιάστατο μοντέλο θα εξαρτηθεί από τα παραδοτέα για τον πελάτη και από το τι απαιτείται από τον τρισδιάστατο χάρτη.

Αν αυτό είναι για εμπορικούς σκοπούς (για χρήματα) θα κοιτούσα το Dronelink (δείτε το άλλο μου βίντεο) ή το Dronedeploy. --- Hello and thank you. A 3D model will depend on the deliverables for client and what is required from the 3D map. Although the Mini 2 can do it the Air 2S will be a better choice.

The Mini 2 is capable, doesn't harm in trying but might be better having a drone with a 20mp camera, and the sensors will help a lot especially as the camera is facing down the whole time. I would opt for an Air 2S or secondhand Mavic 2.

How accurate is the data?

[@DimmyV]

This was for educational purpose. Depending on client deliverables you could possibly use this for simple stuff but if you are looking for accuracy then you would need to go down route of a high quality drone and using GCPs to accurately map an area which is more work but more money. @dylangorman has a course you can take that covers this.

Hello Dimitris. This is George K and I am the local Council Engineer. We are currently in the process of producing high resolution LIDAR 3D photogrammetry of the area. We invite young and ambitious people like yourself to help us produce high resolution 2D maps as well if you wish to help your council. License A1/A3 required though. Thank you. My office at Moni Council.

Hello George. I’m actually heading back to Canada as this is where I live. I would be interested in following this still. If you can contact me via my website. Thanks.

FREE VERSION DOES NOT LET YOU USE GRID

[@DimmyV]

Map Pilot Pro is free and I was able to do a grid scan. Unless they have changed it…?

[@ukdronelife]

@@DimmyV possibly changed it, I installed it on android

[@ukdronelife]

I grabbed a different version and it worked, thanks, had to log in tho and said I had only 3 device installs left 👍🏻

[@DimmyV]

Glad it worked. 🚁

[@ukdronelife]

@@DimmyV yes Google app store didn't have it, I had to search an APK. I'll give it a whirl tomorrow

This is not free, only up to 1 gigapixel is free.

[@DimmyV]

Yes however that being said the app is free but data processing the initial month you can process some maps free but all this takes up space which costs money. Compared to other sites this one is reasonably priced if you are starting out. 👍🏼
