Hardware and Software Requirements for Mapping with a DJI M600

Today's show is about drone mapping at 1500 feet AGL.

Our caller for today, Renza is calling all the way from Australia. Renza wishes to fly the M600 at 1500 feet AGL for some complex mapping missions. What software and hardware does he need to build accurate drone maps and models? Additionally, does he need to incorporate any additional steps into his workflow?

This is a great question, Renza. We start off this show by comparing large multirotors to fixed-wing drones. Are there any advantages to using a M600 over a fixed wing drone like Wingtra? Next, we reveal how the hardware and software that Renza will need to fly such heavy loads at 1500 feet AGL. We wrap up this show by sharing some expert drone mapping tips. Tune in for some excellent insights!
