UGCS Looks pretty sweet. As a mapper and digital twinning company myself. Its always nice to know what's out there and available. Keep up the good work.
Hey Dylan, great video! I am relatively new in this industry, and I feel like I'm missing something here, so I have a question pertaining to DroneDeploy and UgCS. I am confused as to why you would purchase both DroneDeploy and UgCS when DroneDeploy does both flight planning and processing. Can you help me see the bigger picture that I am missing and explain your reasoning for using UgCS for flight planning and using DroneDeploy only for processing? Keep up the good work, Thanks!
Dylan once more very good content :) thx (can You answer what are the average costs of such a project as the Frys building for the client? or how to calculate it? Especially with M3E?
Thanks for all your great videos! Do you have any advice for a beginner who wants to map a housing site in a rural area (I still get cell service)? I want to do fairly detailed 3D mapping with elevations for landscaping, etc over about 4 acres. Also, do these programs let you print a 2D topographic map as well?
This is awesome tech and very useful for the reproduction work you do I bet. But also, flying manual is the reason I bought a drone - its fun as hell ! :D
I've watched several of your videos and love the way you make it simple. In a couple of videos, the professional used a Mavic 2 for mapping however; the Mavic 3 classic does not support mapping (strange). I am a TH-cam junkie and believe I am starting to get overwhelmed by the information and it's starting to get confusing (hardware, software, etc.). I am also looking for a person or group here in Jacksonville, Fl that I can connect with as I am more a visual learner. Thanks!
thanks for the videos! what is the average client using these services for? what did they use previous and why is it benifitial for them to have this data?
This is really great! I didn't know software like this exists! Wow! Thank you so much for providing this video with all these insights! - A question: I have a "DJI Mavic 3" and from what I have seen this model is not in the list of supported models of UgCS. DO you know if there is a work-around? Also, it seems that the RC Pro is required to transfer the waypoint kml? Do you happen to know if it is at all possible (even if more cumbersome) to copy the kml file manually to the proper location on the lesser capable RC? - Thank you! :-) Subscribed!
Hi I really like you content and it's making me want todo this I understand all risks in it etc but before I even consider it I Need to learn more about mapping, lidar everything apart from flying. Can I ask what the best route is todo this, is it a degree or what
Dylan, great video! I was able to run similar setup in UGCS the drone ran the mission and getting to the end. Unlike DroneDeploy even though the drone ran the mission nothing was captured on the SD card. Is there a setting that I was missing when the mission was initiated? Is there any integration with DroneDeploy and UGCS or do you simply take the photos and upload into Drone Deploy?
How much does it cost approx to start in the business? I have been a pilot for 3 years and never thought about starting a side gig with it. Am I looking at a huge investment to get started in Photogrammetry? or Is there a way to start at a minimum and scale?
(1) How long did it take for the drone to complete that mission? (2) And how many batteries did it take? (3) I assume when it's in the middle of a mission and the battery runs low, it will RTH so you can replace the battery, then it resumes it's place where it left off? Thanks in advance! Great video btw!
If I were to fly the whole property, 2 batteries but for what I captured in this video it only took 1! If you need to swap, you can do that and then return to its last know position to continue data capture.
@Dylan you are the man that I needed, I know it sounds weird coming from a man but everyone knows what I mean. I just got my permits and buying a drone soon. Thank you for your work.
With the facade shots, why does it not go in long lines down the length and only alter the height 3 times? It seems like the up and down route would be much slower.
I believe it is replicating a systematic capture in order for the overlap to be tight enough for the model to process properly. I can certainly ask the UgCS team as to why the mission is handled in that way rather than the other way you suggested.
Hi! Can someone plz help me find a good link to try this viewer? Or simillar produkt. I have tried a lot of different programs but its impossible to navigate around bigger Projects (Bridge for exemple), And it needs to be able to be shared online. Tnx
Hi Great Video, and very interesting you are very knowledgeable. I am new to this and just looking into getting started using this tech in my job. The question is how good is it in the real world for looking for objects on the ground for example, how close up can you get the pictures etc. i can see its great for large buildings etc but im after looking at items next to the buildings etc. I hope i explained that well enough for an answer. Thanks for a reply it would be greatly appreciated. Kev
You can get as close as you need. Depending on the software that you use to stitch all the data with, itll allow you to produce a higher grade model with the detail of the ground.
Is ugcs capable of thermal photogrammetry via a mavic 3 thermal? Wish it had a mech shutter, didn’t know if it would be useful data. Just subscribed, awesome videos!
Hey Dylan, is there a particular laptop you would recommend that processes these datasets with ease and likely will for the foreseeable future? As always, thanks for the content!
AMD Ryzen 9 6900HS (6900HX) or 5900H CPUs or Intel i9 12900H(K) CPUs RTX series of Nvidia's dedicated graphics 1TB SSD 16GB DRAM ...or the" ASUS ROG Zephyrus GT4
The more money you can throw at hardware the faster the data will process. I’d first figure out how much your budget is and then go from there. Any MSI or Alienware laptop will do just fine!

Hi . just subscribed to your channel and have been going through the content.. I am a photographer and use a Mavic Air 2 to add value to my packages that mainly consist of real estate and event photography.. Photogrammetry is an area that really interests me so I downloaded Dronedeploy to test it and do some basic mapping.. when I had everything ready to fly it tells me my drone is only supported with the subscription which at this point I am not ready to commit to.. are there any other alternatives that you know support the mavic Air 2? thanks in advance for any help 🙂
Hi there im an architect student so I'm good with computer software so I don't know if this will help you. I have the same drone and I use an iOS App called Copterus for grid mapping, Litchi for all other Automated Flights , and Agisoft Metashape to import the photos and create the point clouds and models myself
Can this be used with the Mini 3 Pro RC-N1 controller, similar to Drone Deploy, where you can setup the mission on computer then launch from smart phone app?
@@DylanGorman are you a Registered Professional Land Surveyor in the state of Arizona? Is the board of registration okay with you performing this kind of work? Just curious how this all works out. In California the board wants you to be a licensed Land Surveyor to produce mapping. Please let me know what your experience has been. Thanks.
@@tomthomsen11 It's all about relationships. This project was through one of my partner companies in AZ who contracted me to capture the data for them. They are ultimately signing off on the work since its under their name not mine.
I didn’t realize it said that on their homepage. I’ve had UgCS for years so I haven’t had to look at that in some time. I’ll reach out to them about it.

Well done Dylan. The Context capture for 3D modeling is the standard for sure, but the acquisition plan has to be robust as well. Good demo on UGCS.
Hey Dylan, great video. What software did you use to stitch all of the data together once you were back at your computer?

I’ve known and used UgCS for a few years! They have a great team over there. It was a pleasure meeting you as well!
Hi, what software did you use to process the images? I appreciate your reply.
I believe these videos may be abandoned since I see a lot of old questions unanswered. 🤔🤷♂️
Great video, Hey Dylan have you ever compared Context Capture against Dji Terra to see which one gives you a better looking 3D mesh model?

How much do clients pay for this?
I miss Frys Electronics
We all do
Such a huge building and so much stuff … it was so close to me I’d go there 2/3 x per week and just walk around and look
🤔🤔🤔😳😳😳😐😐😐
Me too! 😢 I grew up in the San Fernando Valley so I was close to 2 of them. Then lived up in the East Bay area and visited that one too!
Yeah we lost ours here in Chicago, my favorite electronics store 😢
I worked at that exact building (back when it Incredible Universe) over 25 years ago. Good times.
Were you using RTK or just flying the M3E with the RTK module attached?
I’m really excited to see this software eventually ported over to the Mini 3 Pro. Hopefully soon.
Hopefully!
Any updates?

Does one need an enterprise DJI drone to perform these missions?
With DJI Pilot 2 and the cloud connect feature, can I only select the routes from UGCS, or can I also run the flight directly from UGCS?

very cool great demo bud

Does UGCS cover the Mavic 3 classic?
Hello Dylan we’re is the data stored say if you were doing this project for me we’re would I access it

Is this was performed with a Mavic 3T in thermal camera mode, could UGCS create a thermal model of a building?
Is the Dji Mini 2 supported?

Was the model redering/photo stitching also done in UgCS?

does UgCS support Skydio drones? I looked into it on their webpage but it does not appear to support them... thanks Dyla
I don’t think they do. I believe Skydio locks their SDK down pretty tight.
What did you use for the processing?
Drone Deploy and Context Capture
Still not all places in Google Darth Pro are 3D,
which program do you use for 2D maps?
In this video it’s Drone Deploy and Context Capture
The best mission planning app, UGCS. Today's sponso is UGCS. Coincidence??
