  • Terrain mapping

    I just got myself a used DJI Mavic M1P drone. In mint condition.
    I'm a total newbie at this stuff. A few years ago I had some cheap toy drone, it cost 70-80e then, it had no camera and none of the advanced options. It was a total disappointment.
    After I broke all the glass around the house with it... I gave up and sold it. However, technology has advanced, today all this is a different story.
    The Mavic "drives itself"... it has stabilization, a very good camera, and is quite automated and stable.
    The idea is to practice handling well first and get used to it. And then to try to add whatever I need to it so that I can map sites and terrains with it.
    I live in a hilly and wooded area, things are much better seen from a height. I thought of combining this technology with our hobby.
    Does anyone have specific experiences?

    I think it is a very useful tool for the researcher,
    especially when combined with a LIDAR head,
    and the appropriate software,

    I have no personal experience.but it is among my future ambitions​.

      That's $35-$60k !!!
      I have found affordable Lidar for ~ 800 euros.
      But the whole story in amateur arrangement is a long shot.
      Lot of things to check and consider before throwing money.
