How to do a Mapping Mission with the DJI M30T | DSLRPros - Training

[@MikePizzolatt]

excellent. looking to get the same drone in the near future. been flying drones for 7 years and just passed my part 107. thanks again for your time.

Great video! Where can I find the 3 videos that you talk about regarding processing the data that you collected in this flight?

[@dslrpros]

Coming soon!

Great vid! help me a lot to understand!

[@dslrpros]

Glad to hear it!

[@anyandioliver9548]

Thank you sir

[@OathOutdoors]

Thank you guys for putting together this together. I've asked several online retailers if I can use this for mapping because of the resolution and was told no that I needed to go with the magic 3e the 3m or the 350 rti with a payload. Thanks for answering my questions

Actually this is a poor example of doing a solar mapping /inspection. I own both, M30T & MEA and its the software (Pilot app/pilot 2 app) is the difference. Using the Pilot (1) app you are able to pause the flight and change the direction of the drone to make it fly perpendicular to the panels (This is the way to fly solar. In the pilot 2 app the drone doesn't maintain the perpendicular position.

You can absolutely use the Matrice 30 Series drones for mapping!

I didn't say never, but it doesn't meet survey level requirements, one would be better off using a Phantom 4 Pro.@@dslrpros , When it comes to thermal work, it is very good, but this is where the pilot app (1) out shines the newer pilot app (2). Not being able to force the drone to fly perpendicular to the panels makes the MEA & M300 (using the same OG pilot app) a better choice. On small systems where you can fly manually, flying the M30T is fine, but if you need to fly a million square roof you need to be able to fly it autonomously (just more proficient & accuracy).

It really just depends on what your using it for. If you don’t care about accuracy then the m30 works. So for instance, you are mapping an area post disaster with the goal of doing a quick damage assessment/ searching for survivors. M30 is great if that’s all you have in your arsenal. On the other hand, you wouldn’t use this to generate a map for precision agriculture or anything that requires survey level accuracy.

⁠@@RecoveryoneDronesincere question here, how does the M30 series not meet the survey level requirements? The only thing I’ve heard about this, is that it takes longer due to the camera not being a mechanical shutter. However, if that is the only issue, couldn’t I use the home base stations for the RTK to connect to each other and be just fine?

[@garrettlutz1353]

I have the mapping mission down, now how do we upload and create something with the data??!!

[@dslrpros]

Coming soon, we'll have videos using several software solutions to show you how to process the data.

Can an RTK module be bought for this Drone to take advantage of RTK precision?

[@dslrpros]

The Matrice 30 Series does have RTK; however, if your application requires very accurate mapping, it is not the best tool. The Mavic 3 with the RTK Module or the Matrice 350 would yield survey grade accuracy and be the better choice if mapping is your main application.
