My company uses DroneDeploy and overall we are getting great mapping results. DroneDeploy has a flight planning mode called Linear Flight Plan, which is for mapping corridors, trails, streets, roads, etc. The attached image illustrates the Linear Flight Plan. The width of the course is...

Thanks! I travel periodically to Ohio. We should get together for lunch in the near future or I can have our sales rep in Cincinnati reach out to you.

I thought I would share the new drone services brochure my company has created. We are also undergoing a major build-out on our web site. We are an environmental consulting and engineering firm with 50 employees based in Indianapolis. Our core business is the investigation and remediation of...

DroneDeploy's business model is to secure subscriptions from companies who perform aerial mapping on a regular basis. DroneDeploy is typically not for the one-man drone business with a job here and there. My firm (environmental consulting and engineering) has been using DroneDeploy's Business...

My company (environmental consulting firm with 50 employees) has a $1,000,000 drone liability insurance policy that costs $900.00 per year through Cincinnati Casualty Company. Also regarding AMA membership being a "plus" for commercial work, we've never had a client ask us if our drone pilots...

Yes, DroneDeploy returns the drone to where it left off and does this flawlessly.

Yes, we use ground control points when data generated from a project site requires a GIS spatial component, which further requires a high level of absolute/global accuracy (longitude, latitude, elevation). Of course, not all of our project sites require a high level of absolute/global accuracy...

DroneDeploy has an excellent flight planner and manages resuming flights very well as a result of battery changes.

Thanks, yes, we use DroneDeploy for our initial map processing. The contours were generated using a combination of DroneDeploy's digital terrain model and existing survey data from the site. All groundwater monitoring wells and some soil borings at the site were surveyed and georeferenced...

I'm Senior VP of an environmental consulting and engineering firm. Our core business is the investigation and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. We have fully-implemented drone aerial mapping into our project workflow. I thought I would share some examples of our work. Please...

Check out DroneDeploy flight app, which is free.

You will end up with a map with varying exposures, which may or may not be acceptable to your needs. Of course, as you probably know, the best time to perform mapping is on an overcast day or on sunny days when the sun is near or at its zenith. I don't know much about Maps Made Easy...my...

Our core business is the investigation and remediation of contaminated soil and groundwater. Not knowing your background, most people in environmental consulting/engineering firms have college degrees in environmental science, environmental engineering, chemical engineering, civil engineering...

I work in the environmental consulting and engineering business and we use drones to collect imagery for 2D orthomosaic maps, topographic maps, 3D surface models and for determining volumetric calculations (soil cuts, fills, stockpile volumes). We also use DroneDeploy flight software and their...

I thought I would share the ground markers we fabricated at my company. See photos. These markers are made of 24" x 24" x .25" plexiglass. We glued four (4) 12" x 12" checkered vinyl squares ( https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004GF5492/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) to each...
