Examples

This is a 2D orthomosaic map of a horse ranch. This map is compiled of 290 high resolution images stitched together for extreme detail.

This image is showing the elevation change within the map, blue showing lower elevations, and red showing higher elevations in the given area. This tool can be used for leveling out farmland or construction sites very efficiently.

Mapping allows us to create 3D models to show elevation changes and typography. This can be used for construction buildings as well.

Maps allow us to take volumetric measurements of stockpiles to better predict earthworks requirements.

Orthomosaic image: This is a series of images taken and geometrically corrected to be scale and uniform, making one large image 2D or 3D.

FAQ’s

Our pricing for mapping missions consists of multiple factors: size of map, drone flight time, level of accuracy, and type of deliverable needed.

Unlike a regular photo, an orthomosaic image is a series of images taken and geometrically corrected to be scale and uniform, which can be used to measure true distances since it is an exact representation of the earth’s surface.

During the preflight planning process, we research your job location to see if there are any flight restrictions. If the location is in controlled airspace, we will request an authorization with the FAA for your flight.

Online Reviews

I wanted to shoot an "establishing shot" for a indie movie I'm trying to put together. I tried doing it myself but it was shakey and the resolution wasn't sufficient. I emailed Jacob and he was right on it. The shots he did look great and the price was reasonable. Highly recommended.
