How to build a SUCCESSFUL Drone Mapping business in 2023 - Drone Deploy

[@leeyoung4305]

I was able to hear a detailed explanation of the drone mapping business! I am now 66 years old, and after retirement as a civil servant in Korea, I started flying drones as a hobby, and after learning 'Premier Pro' for video editing, I am uploading drone videos on KZbin, and three years ago I qualified as a drone instructor After acquiring it, I give lectures at drone flight academies, and I also work on pest control with agricultural drones. In the meantime, an acquaintance asked if I could make a map of agricultural land, so I watched your KZbin video to learn how to use Pix4D capture and Drone Deploy, and I learned a lot from your lecture! I will be visiting your channel often to learn more in the future, and I also learned something very useful from this video. Your lecture was the best!

[@cogotexx]

This is quite the inspirational comment Lee!! 🤘🏼 Rock n Roll brother!

[@Bobi-ow6ou]

Interesting question

[@norfolknunners6372]

Yes. Would love a video on this 👍

[@badrulhisyamo]

my thought is you must have contact with developer/people..

You mention using the DJI Mavic Air 2 for mapping. Can you use the DJI Mavic Air 2S as well? Does Drone Deploy support the Air 2S? Thanks!

[@physicz8916]

Is a iPhone iOS device enough to use the software and start accepting jobs ?

[@HOODTOURS]

I really like your videos! Its hard to believe you have been in the industry for 9 years, you look no older than 25... maybe you are much older and have the gift of looking youthful! Keep up the great educational videos!

[@peterpaul5820]

Just bought my first own drone and I can tell you that this is what I want to do, I am already having so many ideas, questions and thoughts! I'm so fired up with this!

you know he's super legit with his work when he gets new truck and new macbook pro! great content.

[@DylanGorman]

Haha thank you!

[@thompsondroneworx]

Dylan, with a small property like this do you ever feel the need to run a separate flight at a different gimbal angle in order to capture better 3D details? I've been experimenting and have been seeing that I have seen some better results doing a flight at -30 degrees but you need to expand the flight path as it can't see the property at the close proximity. Maybe I'm doing something wrong and you can offer some suggestions for achieving the best 3D results. Thanks and love the videos!

[@radio-riehl]

I do photogrammetric mapping of forestry areas. I'll do 5 passes if an area is particularly complex - one nadir (top town), and 4 passes with the camera at a 30-45 degree oblique angel from the cardinal directions. However my work isn't making me nearly that much money -- I'm paid a flat salary and the photogrammetry data is ONLY used to plot spray drone flight routes - what the company is paid for is the sprayed acerage.

[@solidflightmedia]

at 7:00 you mentioned you still need to gather waivers for your flights. I am assuming that this is for flying overtop of people or potentially flying overtop of moving vehicles correct?

[@DylanGorman]

Correct! Still gotta follow the rules haha.

[@solidflightmedia]

@@DylanGorman DUDE! So happy to get a response from you. Thank you so much for getting back with me. This has been such a grey area for me and I have been trying to get a reliable response. There are a few clients here in my area that really are interested in my services. I just want to do EVERYTHING by the book. As you said, these hurdles can add to your price and can help show why a company is hiring you over somebody else. I went ahead and requested an FAA waiver citing my possible risks and ways to mitigate them. I really hope this gets approved. That will make my services more valuable in the future as well as keep piece of mind that we are all 100% legal. Working on insurance now and trying to get the best policy to be 100% covered. Love your videos and all of your insight. Any time you need a spare pilot for a job, hit me up and I would be more than happy to help out just to get the chance to learn some more information. THANK YOU DUDE.

[@Larson_33_]

Once you take a drone map of an area, is it updated over time? For example, from the beginning of a crop cycle to the end. Or would you have to go out and remap the area over time to see the new imaging?

[@MDFire150]

How does the 'customer' view the final models? Do they have to go into DD to view, or can the models be sent to the customer for viewing on some other image viewer?

[@courtneyb6154]

Thanks for the videos! Great stuff to learn how to get started. One question..... I have a Mavic 2 Pro Zoom and I am using DroneDeploy on an Android device. Under the advanced settings I can see all the same options as yours except for "Gimbal Angle"......it appears to be missing. Do you know why? Maybe an android thing or some setting I need to first enable....or maybe that feature has since been removed? Thanks!

i live in belgium how can i find drone deploy missions for my country ?

[@RC_Aviator]

Do you need any specific licenses or schooling to legally do this? As far as I know, to be a surveyor you definitely need school. But I am not sure the differences between "mapping" and surveying

[@robertbondar6640]

Are you typically not using GCP’s for accuracy of the mapping?

[@DylanGorman]

It depends on the project. Most of what we do is for property inspection (cracks in pavement, trash on site, water buildup on rooftops). If we do anything with earthworks then we do use GCP’s!

[@andyherrera8929]

Hey Dylan, Do you have a video you using ground control set by surveyors?

[@dldez8590]

Is the DJI air 2S supported? And when will your course launch? Much appreciated!

[@umairkhurshid839]

Can we do it professionally with Mavic Air 2s?

[@DylanGorman]

Yes

[@Grey59bouttime]

Great vid! How do you go about finding clients to hire you for your work? And how does that process go?

[@DylanGorman]

Its a very complex answer that differs for all of our clients that we bring on. I always ask them about what problems they are currently facing with property management, asset management or project development management. I then build a drone based solution around it to cater to their needs. I know I make it sound simple but it really just finding the right client that will say yes, believe me I have had more no's than I have had yes.

[@prankfever8877]

you just uploaded a 3d model to the cloud do you get paid for each upload ?

It’s was not done with GCP’s but you can easily create a model with one!

[@russellsherman9358]

Thanks Dylan, this looks very good, I’m on the edge of getting a drone to help create site plans. I don’t need accurate georeferencing but I do need to be able to pull accurate measurements from my drone map/model. I’m trying to figure out if I’d need GCP’s, I really don’t want to take that extra step yet. Can you take fairly accurate measurements from your drone map without GCP’s? I really appreciate your videos and responses. Thanks Dylan

[@DylanGorman]

You can for reference but if it’s for any survey work or engineers you will need to use GCP’s for that data to be accurate!

Hi Dylan, Great Video thank you. Would you recomend "Cold calling" some folks? What I mean is if I were to fly say a New Development, Shopping Center, etc. ( I do know some people in Real estate) . I don't know just thinking out loud. Kind of "Here, this is what I can do" Wow em, and if not, maybe they know who could use me. I am talking down the rode a bit. I just bought a Used (Really Good shape) Inspire One with a Zenmuse x3. Test Monday the 8th of Aug for 107. So What do you think? Worth it or "Never Cold call"? Steve

Thank you Dylan amazing informative video. Are you able to make a lengthy video on how new drone pilots can market themselves in order to gain new client within a certain time frame like 3 months or 6 months. Like a step by step walk through of how you marketed yourself when you first started in order to gain new clients.

Can this be converted into Autocad or would I need to?

[@carlfinney9974]

Very cool! Would using a camera with a LiDAR sensor to map be preferable? Or does matter really matter? In my work I’m already using my own utility application to access my iPhone 13 pros LiDAR sensor to scan the interior of residential property for accurate square footage measurements and I use my drone to get exterior pics that you can’t get from the ground . That’s a nice database. Would LiDAR be better?

P4P V2 is what I’d choose. Only reason I used the inspire 2 was because I had certain projects that leveraged the better camera image.

[@ryanashby2459]

So I picked up a DJI Mini 2. Would this drone work to learn using this software? I picked it up cheap to see if this is something we can survey small properties. Thanks!

Is mini pro 4 good for stuff like this; iknow it doesnt have sdk support as yet but it does have the waypoint feature that i think can be used until yk 3rd party support

[@mountainslapstick6170]

You can't do accurate drone mapping without a surveyor or photogrammetrist all you can do is, sell fancy 3D maps that have no "claimed" spatial accuracy. Its not as simple as buy a drone, fly drone get clients.

[@DylanGorman]

That’s not entirely true. You can still capture using an RTK drone or processing using PPK methods. It’ll be cheaper yes, accurate yes, but obviously can’t pass it off as a “drone survey”. I have several clients that pay for us to run mapping missions that aren’t geo-referenced with survey grade accuracy. They only care about relative accuracy as they are using it for visual inspections. But again it’s the client that you are selling your services to and what they are looking for. I do disagree with the “you can’t do accurate mapping” statement though because it’s been proven to not be 100% true. I still see your point though. Just my experience!

[@mountainslapstick6170]
