Hello NE GISsets,
I am getting a drone, starting on a cheap one to train with and test.
From there depending on how things work out upgrading to a better
model. I do a lot of cartography and small environmental projects.
Light weight is important as I make a lot of trekking maps so
transport via bike or foot. Overall my work is a mixed bag so in the
past a drone has not been needed much. I am looking mainly at the DJI
line of drones, but open to others. Looking to spend $50 -400 for the
cheap version, then later spending more.
What is the recommendation on how to start out, training in person or
on-line? Getting a license? Looking for a 1-3 day short course
maybe? In the northeast?
Thanks,
bruce
