New drone mapper for ecology projects
Hi everyone,
I am completely new to this world of surveying and drone mapping. I am a biologist in the United States interested in things like animal movement and habitat mapping for ecology-related research projects. I am about to buy a drone so that I can do LiDAR and photogrammetry. I taught myself how to do GIS, mostly in QGIS, and now I am going to try self-teaching myself how to do drone mapping projects.
I will likely first be asking some questions in the forum about the right equipment to buy (read, cheapest). The cheapest LiDAR solution I??ve been able to deduce is the DJI Matrice 300 RTK drone frame with DJI Zenmuse L1 sensor, but I thought I??d start with trying photogrammetry, and I??m not sure which is the best/relatively cheap camera/sensor for photogrammetry that I can put on the M300RTK.
I wish I had a mentor for this to bounce dumb questions off??
