  • [31:06] Did you mention that there were image issues with the advanced compared to the pro?
  • [32:14] Do you have a sample proposal that you can share for mapping projects?
  • [33:50] I do lot of stockpile and the DroneDeploy annotated report sucks. Anyone know of a better solution? Right now I am making custom solutions every month.
  • [34:43] Pix4D has a recommended list of hardware and recommended solutions
  • [35:13] I want to know the difference between DroneDeploy and Pix4D. Which of these would I use for golf courses?
  • [36:17] What is wrong with Zion servers?
  • [36:54] I accidentally upgraded my DJI firmware a few months ago. I found out that my upgrade in app removed my button for geofencing. It forced me to enter at a point where they require a log in. I rolled back my app to point off geofencing restrictions because their maps are not perfect. Is that how you guys operate? Are there any problems legally with you guys doing it?

  • [55:10] Any resources for government contracts?
  • [55:54] Have you looked at standalone RTK ground stations to near survey grade maps?
  • [57:39] For a new computer, would you recommend SSD or HDD for boot and storage?
  • [58:10] What is the best way to deliver a 3D model to a client? I find that the clients asking for 3D models are not the most computer savvy users, looking for easy solutions and are looking to manipulate the web at will
  • [59:26] Is LIDAR used independently on the drone? Or do you need a new drone for LIDAR?
  • [59:55] Does Autodesk Recap have some sort of web format
  • [60:06] Were you able to get any more information about the telecom based drone job?
