LOVING my topographical DJI DRONE surveys - VLOG
i am a civil engineer in India I want to come to uk can I need CSCS card. If yes than which colour
I applied for uk mobility visa . If i get visa how can I find a job in London . After come in London. As a fresher civil engineer how much salary i expect
Ordered mine yesterday, will be here tomorrow 😊 I’m going to join fpvuk for the benefit of insurance and article 16, to give me a little flexibility. Bit of a bummer that I live slap bang in the middle of Salisbury plain restricted airspace but won’t have to travel too far to be in the clear. Great video btw 👍🏻
if anyone is looking to buy a dji avata 2 kit for £200 cheaper than the retail price, please reply to this comment and get in contact with me. i'm trying to sell mine because i hardly ever use it, it's genuinely amazing value and in mint condition, so just let me know.
Hello , I am a structural engineer and I work sometimes in civil 3d to import surveying points and produce some proposed topography , I got interested in surveying but my question is , do you believe it is useful to get chartered if you have your own business ? and how do you think AI will affect surveying , thanks
Hey! I don’t think you need to be chartered unless you grow your business and start tendering for large government jobs. Oh great question about Ai I have a video on that coming soon
Don't bother, they're getting banned.
Banned where? And who’s banning them
@@SheWhoDaresWinsbanned from the USA and the government. As of right now they will not be able to be sold if the ban bill passes and the president signs it then no dji drones will be able to be sold. They could ban flying them too but as of right now the only thing that would happen if it passes is dji not be able to sell drones anymore. 😢
@@snoopystuart Oh wow thats a shame. We are still ok here in the Uk I think
phantom or mavic 3e?
I’d go mavic it’s a better drone
Great video! Ive enjoyed watching your work on youtube. Ckear and simple diwn to earth. Music audio level on this video was just right. For me anyways. You didnt mention the use of lidar for vfx industries 😢
Ah thanks of yeah vxf that’s a good call for sure
Great video, thanks.
£300 is definitely one of the more expensive ones.
£300 for what?
Recommended trades for those 55 and over wanting to move over trades
My avata2 can't fly far 300m to 600m then rth I can't open any files in 4k TV or computer only 1080p on tv nothing on windows my 8 year old phantom 3pro out performs the avata in almost everyway, They won't return it either I have to send it in after only 1 week.
Oh no that’s a shame DJI are normally quite good with repairs or guidence though
Do construction work first in the field for at least 10 years - so you know what your talking about ! Us veteran construction workers are always teaching you college kids how to do your jobs !
Simulator,Simulator.
Cool video, straight to the usage.
Thanks 🙏
Can't agree more.
Fun if you want to fly the Avata 2 indoors drop all the control Values to the min... Happy flying!
Oh I was hoping to do this. What do you mean by dropping the control values? Do you mean fly in beginner mode?
Watch out folks that want to buy Avavta 2.. Only if you own one of a limited number of phone models will you be able to download and use the DJI Fly App and therefore you will not be able to set it up... I'm returning an Avata 2 I just bought due to this.
Oh wow really? I didn’t know this. What phone do you use? I’ve got an iPhone but wasn’t aware it was restricted
@@SheWhoDaresWins I have a Pixel 7 Pro.
Duh pixel 7 pro is ass
@@Gusfffffffffgggg - the point is that you should be able to do this from a laptop.. go ahead and think you are better than other people because you own phone X.. congratulations -
The APP can be downloaded from DJI's offical webiste for Andriod user, you can have a try!
Great vid 🤩
Thanks greg
Great video! No nonsense, clear, concise and straight to the point. 👏
Thanks scott! Appreciate it 😊
Thank you very much for your videos! I have one question. Should I have the white CSCS card before applying for Graduate Civil Engineer jobs in the UK?
It will put you in a better position for a job yes
Are you a geologist
I was a geotechnical engineer, before becoming a setting out engineer
@@SheWhoDaresWins , I am trying to find places to practice mapping in Aberdeen but it’s quite a challenge.
Your videos are great. When you are picking points, are you just picking anywhere?
No there all ways needs to be structure
will be fun when all these folks doing all that training and buying drones.. and then in the usa they ban drones.
oh wow that sucks
Good info! I'm thinking about getting a Mavic 3M to do some crops surveys, photogrammetry and mapping too!
Oh yeah you should they are ace!
Dude I'm pregnant and working construction building vertical carousels. On a job right now where we have 13 machines ( 17ft tall and 15 wide) to install. Got 10 standing so far. My feet are killing, heart burn is real, fatigue is crazy, hunger is ravenous, but luckily no morning sickness... until the smell of them porta pottys hit.... ughhhhh sometimes I wish I was that kinda chick that wears high heels and carries a purse with 2 fingers and scoffs at hard work
Ah I feel your pain! What trimester are you in the first three months were the worse for me. Just make sure you take care of yourself :)
@SheWhoDaresWins had my first appointment today and turns out I'm just now in my second trimester. Back to the grind tomorrow 💪
Hi im from the uk. I am considering a change of career. I came across your video whilst researching roof surveying. Im considering looking at drone video and event filming as well as roof surveying as a 2nd job with the scope of going in full time if it makes sense. One thing im not clear on, does one need to have an actual qualification i surveying to do roof inspections? (Producing report requires any accredition?) Im legal by education, QA manufacturing by trade. Would be good to strike out and do something for myself.
Oh great. I think for roof surveying just some experience is ok. maybe see if you can get on with a company for that for a bit before going on your own? Flying over houses and buildings is tricky so you need. the relevant certs and experience but it can be done. Best of luck!
Because a million points with 5 to 10 cm accuracy produces a more accurate surface model than a thousand shots with 2 cm accuracy. I was doing volume surveys 10 years ago with a Sensefly. I have a phantom 4 non-rtk now, but there are so many companies buying their own drones that I gave up on trying to find work with it.
Yeah I think education is key. So many folks discounting them as good tools. They aren’t the solution all the time but they definitely are very useful and effective for some surveys
Sweet ❤
Thank you very much for your video. I recognise so much of what you describe here. I also do A3/A2 RTK photogrammetry but because of work pressures it took me months to do a 15 minute A2CofC test. While I wouldn't suggest it, and exactly like you say, the mission planning software could let you perform a survey without ever touching a lever and much of my flight time is still like this. I had to actively push myself to do the self declaration training moves at weekends and that brings more confidence for sure. That said, I will definitely have picked up bad habits now. You have totally sold me me on the DPA guys and I will seek out a Scottish venue.
Yeah I totally get what you mean. I got caught out doing automatic flights too. It’s so easy to skips stuff when work takes up time and time is money. I normally would struggle to take 3/4 days off for a course but now I definitely feel more secure when flying and more importantly covered by law. Are you flying lots these days?
At the beginning of the video it sounds like you say "having been an engineer for the last 17 years...", but the caption says "haven't been an enginner" and since the captions are part of the video, is this a mistake you missed?
Ah thanks ha ha auto comments caught me out
Do you have a rough estimate for how much you can charge per acre for say 1-10 acre land surveys
Oh I don’t price per area and there’s a lot more into it. Try and figure out flight time and then work out a day rate. Normal day rates for flight surveys are anywhere between 500-1000 a day or more if you are doing lidar. Again also depends on the deliverables
As someone who is a ATPL(H) pilot I can definitely say the drone licenses are needed... I've often been operating in my helicopter at 500ft and had more than a few near misses from drones, Also as a hobby drone flyer myself I think the airspace needs this control I have my A2 CofC and I may do the GVC but I only fly the mini pro 3 (I do own a MAVIC air 1 and MAVIC pro also).
Oh wow that’s scary! That’s my worry when I fly I’m so honed in on potential aircraft. The course leaders said I was a very cautious flyer 😂 better to be safe I think!
Do you still do setting out engineering and management?
I don’t but I do work with a company who does so I’ve still got one foot in the door if that makes sense
It's also worth mentioning here that having a full UK driving license is highly valuable and can significantly improve one's chances of securing employment in construction.
Completely agree! Except in London I guess.
You forgot to include the price point the MS-96 costs between 135 - 170k€ (hw+sw permanent license) $144k - $181k. Excellent review and very interested the technology.
Thanks! Yes very expensive but there’s a new bit of kit I’ll be reviewing soon which is really exciting and a fraction of the price
Thank you! Very very useful info, much appreciated!
You are welcome
CAN DO IT THIS WORK WITH ANY DRONE LIKE AIR 3?
Not really. Any enterprise drone you can.
Hi, I am Survyor too. I have experience of land survyor more than 5 years. I just want you to say, if there is any job opportunity for me in your area. Please let me know. I am from Pakistan. Really Thank Ful to You,. Waiting for your reply
Thanks! I don’t employ anyone but I will keep my ear to the ground
@@SheWhoDaresWins Thanks ♥️
Hi I`m interest in that field and considering studying a Diploma in Surveying. How are the exams , are they difficult? And also is the Diploma enough to have a good career ?
Oh I’m not sure I did a geography degree and then moved over into it. I’m sure a diploma is a great way in though
Excellent video, thank you! Does the commercial licence expire at all? Thanks Scott
Yes every 5 years :)
But the top up test isn’t as long as
I would like to know, is it possible that i'v first came to UK as tourist, and seek and possibly find some job opportunities, and afterwords get work permit visa, before come as a resident and working in UK.
I don’t think anyone would entertain offering you a job without the right visa in place first

Masters and being in the country might be a good route but I’m not entirely sure.
@@SheWhoDaresWins yes mam. My 3frnds did the same and they get job too.
@@SheWhoDaresWins I asked you bcoz you are senior site engineer and you may be well know about this mam
This is a great video. Thank you so much for the information! Does PQS Tech work in the U.S.? Do you have any insightful guidance on where to go for knowledge on doing as-built for construction? Thanks again SheWhoDaresWins!
They don’t I’m afraid. You could try fivver there are lots of engineer freelancers on there
So great 😊if woman can do that it is great
Thanks
Did you have a known point? If so then you would have had to use a base over that known point to send rtk to the drone / rover and did you use GCPs as well??? Or Were you using a GPS receiver such as an Emlid reach RS2 plus. with Ntrip and rtk to the drone / rover ?? Or where you only using drone rtk connected to Ntrip. I’m just getting started with mapping and I have a lot of questions as you can see.
Hey! So I use the drone with RTK but then I always use my gps rover to collect some GCPs because the RTK still needs tying in. For survey quality data ground control points are needed. Having an RTK drone just means you need less GCps. I hope this helps
hi love from india
