Hi all Thanks for the advice and suggestions. I've also discovered an ESRI product designed for use with ArcMap called Drone2Map which I've asked our GI bods to get a copy of (free trial) to see if that is a solution (I believe it is compatible with DJI aircraft from other posts I've seen on...

Hi again - thank you for your replies. I did start to look at MME with the idea of perhaps only post-processing small areas (to keep under the 250 limit) and then later stitching them together to create a larger orthomosaic. I couldn't find any reference to outputs though - is it possible to...

Hi everyone Hope you can help. I'm in the process of acquiring a P4P to provide aerial imagery to assist my work. Most of the images obtained (stills rather than video) will be used as is or processed into orthomosaics - with both to be imported into a layer in ArcMap which other staff can...

Hi all Thank you for your replies - looks like the combo will be fine then (phew!) Excuse my ignorance here but with the 'third party apps' such as Litchi and DroneDeploy is all the flight planning done on the tablet (connected to WiFi I assume to allow for mapping to load) prior to going on...

Hi all again First - thank you for your answers thus far - this is exactly the kind of information gained from experience I was hoping for. I appreciate you all taking the time to set out some good points for consideration. All in all I think I will go for the P4P - now I've just got to...

Hi everyone I've managed to secure some funds from work to purchase a quadcopter - enough for either a P4P or an Inspire 1 (V2) - plus PfCO training. I work in nature conservation and the intention is to utilise it to acquire data to assist in my work. I've utilised fixed wing UAVs a fair bit...

Hi everyone Recently joined the forum in the hope of mining the extensive seams of drone knowledge here so thought I'd better make my presence known! The name's Bob and I work for a wildlife conservation organisation. It is in that light that I've started using UAVs to assist me in my work...
