How Can Surveyors Use Drones? (YDQA Ep 87)
In this episode of Your Drone Questions Answered, David Young, founder of Drone Launch Academy, sits down with Root Patel, a mapping expert who works with survey firms to integrate drone technology into their workflow. They dive deep into how drones are revolutionizing the surveying industry by reducing project timelines, improving data accuracy, and offering cost-effective solutions compared to traditional methods.
Rut shares insights from his hands-on experience, explaining the step-by-step process of using drones for surveys-from project planning and flight execution to data processing and deliverables. He also highlights the types of drones and software commonly used, such as the Mavic 3 Enterprise with a DRTK station and photogrammetry tools like Pix4D.
Whether you're curious about how drones are being used in geomatics, the benefits they offer for surveying, or what the future holds for this field, this episode is packed with practical knowledge and expert advice.
Learn how drones are becoming an essential tool for surveyors and discover why this technology is reshaping the industry!

    You guys make this so confusing you do or you don’t? I get point number 1. What about one that’s FPV and 377g do you have to get 107 or is the 107 just substituted name for tax collector because your making money? There’s countless vids on people saying oh you just have to register and then put the number on the tail and you’re good?

    There is another layer of detection in Las Vegas that tracks drone activity around the airport and the Strip. I was stopped by police during a flight just off the Strip. I landed the drone and provided the officer with my remote pilot certificate and pulled up the flight authorization on my phone. He took down all my info and I got a call from the FAA about a month later. The from the FAA said his system showed me at a height of 397 feet and he could see my flight path as well. Luckily I had authorization up to 400 feet and the matter was closed after I emailed a copy of my authorization. But yeah, at least in Las Vegas near the airport and Strip, they are tracking your drone. Google Las Vegas case study drone detection for an interesting article about the system.

    10:31 this is not a "pathway" it's an obstacle course designed to ensure failure. I just got a drone and am absolutely beside myself with the level of registration and overreach. I am glad I didn't spend as much as I wanted on the drone I wanted because there's nowhere to fly and you will be harassed by bystanders on how you are being disruptive and braking the law. The ROI is not there in my opinion. You just want to have a good time but you got everyone from the government to your neighbors going after you the second the machine turns on.

And he actually edits them to add even more blue in the shadows and midtones via color grading. I always laugh, because are in the tropics, no one wants to see freaking blue photos that represents the tropics. We don't live in Alaska. And this guy thinks he is the superstar of photography because he is married to an American woman who buy all his gear and also got him a sweet contract with a big resort here in Placencia. But, all his photos are complete shitte.

      Howdy. I’m still very pro DJI. I don’t think they will be obsolete.

It’s not like DJI drones will stop working, the proposed legislation will just not allow them to sell drones in the US going forward (as it’s currently written). But who knows how that will exactly take shape.

    You can make a Rasp Pi drone just search "Pi Dronegirl". This is funny most cheaper components found in electronics are made in China period. Also, its not just they are "cheaper" - that has nothing to do with the products engineered - they have the skills and the education to make quality products in MASS much like Apple. DJI also has engineers from all around the world. They have R&D office in Japan... DJI has made quaility products for years now. Its clear they are targeting Chinese companies that are several years ahead of the competition.

    This is pure bunk, a person flying a drone over the super bowl would certainly not have an active remote ID module on board. The simple reason for remote ID is the UAV delivery industry needs this information for collision avoidance and rather than develop it themselves they bought the FAA to have drone pilots provide the information and pay for the transponders.
