Yesterday, I mapped a 20 acre parcel outside of Dallas with DroneDeploy and I wanted to share some images from the planning to production stages.
Flew at ~135 feet as to keep flight under battery timing. Unfortunately, with the wind it needed a battery exchange at 2/3 the way through. Drone Deploy alerted me, I hit the home button on Transmitter and it came home. I didn't move quad, but just exchanged the battery and hit resume in Drone Deploy. Off it went and started from the previous waypoint, causing it to take some duplicate photos.
I did some test flying around in DJI GO 4 prior to taking off to ensure that all warm ups and calibrations were clear. It was blowing 18 MPH with gusts to 25MPH and I was unsure of the Phantom 4's real capabilities.
It was a CHAMP and I was a nervous wreck...
Here is a video survey that I also flew to provide the realtor:
There are some needed improvements, but it gives buyers an idea of the property.
Planning on the DroneDeploy Website
Flying the Automated Plan, but keeping my hands on the controls
491 Photo Points
Photograph Overlay
Mapped Image Overlay
This is very high detail and I will color grade in Lightroom and add some green in Photoshop.
