Today's episode is about using high end drone cameras in UAV mapping. Do you need to use expensive phase one cameras for complicated mapping missions? What are some best practices for using a camera with a rolling shutter?

Our caller, Ken from NJ has come up with a great question today. He is wondering if he needs to use an expensive drone camera for creating sophisticated 3D maps. Will you end up paying more for your Pix4D subscription if you are using a high end drone camera? Why should you avoid putting your drone camera in silent mode during a mapping mission? Can you use cameras such as A6300 and A6500 for UAV mapping? We review and compare high end drone cameras such as a7R Mark III and a7R III. Thanks to Ken from NJ for the question. Fly Safe!
