*Message sent from a system outside of UConn.* I would give strong consideration to a system with RTK/PPK capabilities. While ground control will always be required for verification, RTK/PPK systems are more cost effective in the long run. Keep in mind the three rules of buying a drone: 1) there is the drone you crashed, 2) the drone that is not working, 3) the drone you actually fly. Invest in backups of everything - tablets, propellors, batteries, etc. Safe flying, Jarlath -- Jarlath O'Neil-Dunne Director, Spatial Analysis Laboratory University of Vermont | US Forest Service R&D From: Northeast Arc Users Group <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Alex Hiller Sent: Tuesday, October 6, 2020 12:17 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Drone Purchase recommendation *Message sent from a system outside of UConn.* Hello, We're in the process evaluating drones and we're interested in hearing from others in the GIS community. Our primary use will be production of ortho-rectified imagery of construction sites, with a secondary need for occasional production of video footage. We have already identified the DJI Mavic 2 Enterprise as a viable high end option and the DJI Mavic Air 2 as a more cost-effective option. We are interested in learning about any comparable non-DJI products that are compatible with Esri's Drone2Map and SiteScan apps. If you have any suggestions, please let us know. We appreciate your help.
