Who is my client in the world of construction mapping? How do I license my footage to protect it? How do I achieve accuracy in drone mapping and modeling?

Today's show is about drone mapping and modeling.

Our caller for today, Bob is a new drone pilot who wishes to offer drone mapping and modeling services for construction companies. He has several business-related questions for us today.

First of all, is it even possible for someone like Bob with no prior experience to take up drone mapping jobs? Is an engineering or BIM background helpful while executing such complex jobs that require a high degree of precision? Additionally, Bob also some interesting questions about licensing his drone footage.

To help Bob out, we first share some crucial attributes that are necessary for competent drone mapping. We then reveal how Bob can assess the market, and reveal some of the mapping jobs that he can consider taking up in the initial stages when he is developing his skills. The next segment of the show is particularly interesting as Paul shares how Bob can copyright his footage, and then track down any violations. How should you deal with folks who are using your drone footage without permission? Did you know that you can actually file a complaint with DMCA and have such images pulled down?

You do not want to miss the show ending where we share how you can strike a multi-licensing deal to boost the overall profits for your drone business. For all this and much, much more, tune in to our latest show now! Fly Safe!
