Drone Aerial Mapping

I just recently bought a DJI Mavic Pro and I have begun experimenting with aerial mapping. I have been uploading to OpenAerialMap an have been using WebODM and DroneDeploy for the capture and processing. The software can actually map an area in 3D as well as provide maps that you can upload to various GIS platforms. Super excited to continue mapping our mountains in great detail!

Very awesome. Have had a blast with my DJI quad.
You might see if the local SAR volunteer groups need quad operators -- there was a group looking for volunteers a while back for missing irish hiker David (

Neat. If you ever map the north side of Lukens, please let me know. When I was in Stone Canyon, the USGS topo seemed off to me, but maybe I was just delirious.

I have deep professional interest here. You've actually tried out the WebODM tools? Can you talk about your experiences with it? What have you asked it to do, and how well did it work?
