DJI Mavic 3E Flight Planning for Topographic Survey Mapping

Easy step by step flight planning to fly topographic survey missions with your Quantum Flight Pack. This flight plan is optimized for the Mavic 3E drone to collect data on an earthmoving or quarry site.

Fly your sites to determine earthwork volume calculations, stockpile calcs even calculate production in conjunction with your GPS machine control system.

We are flying the Mavic 3 Enterprise here, but the same process and settings will apply to any DJI with Pilot 2 software and mapping capabilities.

Hello, great video! I wanted to ask you the following: I would like to carry out an aerial photogrammetric flight over a mountain with a significant slope to create a 3D model of it. What flight configuration do you recommend?

This is very interesting - I hope to venture into Komatsu Smart Construction in the near future, this looks to be a similar application. Do you have any insight or suggestions on getting the needed credentials to operate a drone like this?

Nice quick video. Right to the point. But why did you program it to fly over the road? Were you able to get a waiver?

[SamsonIte-ewer]

Thank you for the video.
How do you check the wind speed and direction?

Have you used Flighthub 2? I just purchased 1 month and it seems to still have a lot of bugs. Should be still in beta. The area route function is not available even in the paid version.

What software do you use to process these images into a orthophoto or digital elevation module?

why didnt you use grid pattern when planning mission?

How do you get the oblique option on the map? When I go to create a new route all I get is the options for waypoint, area route and linear route

What would you recommend for topographic surveys of farm land that have quite significant changes in elevation?

I ran into an issue on my first attempt yesterday with my M3M where the hills/mountains had about 300m of elevation gain so the mission would keep halting because the drone didn't stay a consistent distance from the ground below (as in as the terrain got steeper, the drone got closer to it - ie. staying at the same elevation from the take off point)
