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

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.
Thank you,
