This took all my worries out of mapping and mapping and processing for the first time. This was an incredible and easy to understand tutorial not to mention how user-friendly Maps Made Easy is to use. Liked, subscribed and shared.
Thank you so much for watching and you kind comments too! I hope to post more frequently and add more value to the industry in the future.
Banging video as expected
Software like this is fantastic for giving new pilots a way to experience and experiment with mapping. Great vid! 🔺
Glad you liked it and thanks for watching!
Yes, I thought the same as you, opening up the possibilities and inviting new comers into the market.
E possibile usarlo con il mini 4 pro?
Some great tips. Thankyou
Great information. Very informative. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Thx for your video. I would like to use this for landscaping on medium size properties. Which would be the most economic drone you would recomend for this?
Great review.I have one question, is there any way in this free version to calculate say how many cubic meters a given pile of soil is? Thanks in advance
Niice thanks for the video. I'm waiting for the mini 3 sdk, because my mini 2 is gone, broken :(
Tip/question for next videos: if you could add a 25% to the microphone sens. ?
Keep sharing your tutorials, you are doing cool stuff, i activated the bell on your channel
Hey!
Sorry about the Mini 2, but I’m reading good things about the 3.
Thanks for the suggestion, I’ll do my best to improve on the audio side of things. Appreciate the helpful feedback.
@@geospatialtips I would just recommend using a slight compression + limiter, then crank volume out a little.. it will help avoiding the volume disparities.
@@Zforzimmer thanks for the advice. I’ll certainly try that on the next video. I appreciate the feedback!
Was hoping to learn something but can not hear. Audio?
@@jemadv1594 close and open youtube, my audio works
Very new to drone photogrammetry and as soon as I can I plan on giving this software a try.
2 questions though.
You mentioned a link in the description that would go into more detail about map pilot - I don't see it.
Is there a free version of global mapper. It is quite expensive and a huge investment for someone just starting out and learning. A stipped version that did only a few features like contour lines and stuff would be fine.
Thanks.
Hi - good point, thanks.
Here it is: dronesmadeeasy.com/map-pilot
Global mapper allows you to perform certain functions for free, but no free version. You can achieve many of the same functions using QGIS, which is free and open source.
Is there any similar software that will support the RC (not Pro) controller?
Great video! I'm using the DJI Mini 3 Pro (March 2024). I attempted to use Maps Made Easy but I need a photo from my starting point (ground level) so I'm going to try again tomorrow. Any other suggestions or tips I should be aware of?
Hi - let us know how your second flight went.
No other specific suggestions right now, just to use their flight planner, input the results into MME and see what comes of it. For photogrammetry in general take a look at my, and other CZcamsrs, other videos for suggestions and inspiration. All the best!
Thank you
Welcome!
Thanks 4sharing sir...
Always welcome
Audio geek here.. Consider dropping a "Compression" effect onto your audio track to bring up the lows and dump the highs.. Other than that - thank you.
Hi - thank you very much for the advice. We're all learning something new and I appreciate the help!
Can't find Map Pilot Pro on my DJI RC 2 Controller. How do you start it?
Hice fotogrametría con dron Mavic air 2. Y al terminar de subir las fotos me envía un error de acceso a las etiquetas de estas y no me las procesa. Quedo atento.
I have dji mini 3...does it support for mapping aplication?
yup
Id like to try that app. What would be a suitable drone in terms of price and performance
Hi - thanks for watching!
If you are just wanting to try it out, why not go for one of DJI's smaller drones such as the 'Mini' or slightly bigger, 'Air'. But, make sure you choose those that are supported on this list: support.dronesmadeeasy.com/hc/en-us/articles/205704366-Supported-Hardware
Later on, if you get into the business, you could then move on to some of their Enterprise drones and still use the Air as a backup.
i have a mavic 3 pro do you know of any software that would work with it?
Did you find a good one please?
Pitty it is not working on my Samsung S11. Can't get further then the warning message at the start.
S22 that is ;-)
Hello, I am from South Korea. this program can measure length and height of lands??? by those drones??
Hi - thanks for watching!
Yes it can. The free version has some limitations, but you should be able to make the measurements you have asked about. If you want to get more serious and perform more detailed survey flights, it might be necessary to look at more advanced software, but this is a good start!
Can you download a compleded map als huge picture, like a offline map on your phone?
Hi - yes, you have the option to download the Geotiff as well as the JPG image. Both file formats should be viewable on your phone and other devices. The JPG image would be a smaller file size.
how do you add a map with the photos you have process eg make the image part of a google map
Hi - you would want to export the mosaic as a KML/KMZ file that will open in Google Earth for you.
You may need to make use of another piece of software to convert the mosaic into the KML format from the TIF or JPEG format. QGIS can be used to achieve this for free.
found the video very helpful, but has anyone else had connection issues? Map Pilot Pro keeps thinking it has found a Phantom 4.
I haven't personally had this issue - sorry that you are.
Hopefully someone else in the comments can assist.
what happens when the first 3gigapixels process was consumed?
Yeap, good question, this is not what I call a "Free" way of doing it. Looks more like a bait tittle to a promotion for the mapping app...
Hi @Alex-bv5se and @8CHULEE
Thanks for watching and for your comments.
It is in fact free up until the 1 Gigapixel limit per project. The software allows for a total of 3 of these projects to be run per any 24 hour period, after which you can run another 3 projects so long as they fall below the limits set.
I have no affiliation or tie to the software, developers or manufacturers at all, but merely presented a way for those who wish to try drone mapping for free.
If you have a chance, give it a go. I thought it was a pretty nifty way of introducing their tools and if it works for a user, then encouraging them to take it to the next step if they have larger projects.
85/75 overlapis too much. 60/30 was industry norm and works perfectly fine.
Hello, this is an interesting video.
I will subscribe to your channel from Japan.
Have a nice day.
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing!
If a Tiny Smoke Grenade can it Exist, Like a Quick Fly then Snap Shot An Area Daily Like The First One?
It Will Seem Impossible "Can Know" If a Fast Move, It is To Bypass "Area-Knowledge" Blocking Movement("Unless Go Out") Maybe.
Maravilhas.
Thanks!
Will they make a version for DJI Mini 3 pro?
Does the Mavic 3 or Mavic 3 Classic support for photogrammetry mapping?
Hi George - due to an SDK delay from DJI, there is no automated capture software yet (that I know of) but seems like some developers are now in beta testing. However, if you fly and capture images manually, then yes you can definitely use the data from the Mavic 3 and produce some good photogrammetric/mapping results. Only the flying and data capture aspect is the issue, the rest can certainly be done.
@@geospatialtipsany further info on the beta testing? Can you provide a developer name or somewhere I can look? DJI will never release the rtk. Great video!
Tem suporte para o Drone C Fly ?
No, sorry, not so far as I am aware.
Não, não até onde eu saiba.
what app do you use for the actual flight capture?
Hi - I used Copterus for this particular flight. But the product Maps Made Easy offers is called Map Pilot Pro and there is a free version you could use. DroneLink, Pix4D, UGCS etc. are all viable options. It doesn't matter what you use for capture, you could make use of any of their output images in Maps Made Easy.
@@geospatialtips Yah looks like my hangup is using the smart and rc2 controllers with the built in screen. I’m going to have to buy a plain controller to use a phone for other apps.
No Fimi X8 support?
Hi - no, just DJI and Autel devices unfortunately for the Piloting module.
However, if you just need to do the photogrammetry portion, you can certainly use Maps Made Easy.
can one use this with DJI?
Yes you can. It has a pre-defined DJI workflow
it doesn't work for Mavic 3
how can I install it on my dji RC remote Plus?
Hi - I am not sure to be honest, I was just demonstrating how useful it can be.
Here is a link to their support page, hopefully it'll help you: support.dronesmadeeasy.com/hc/en-us
@@geospatialtips I finally got it installed, thank you.
How did you get it installed?
@@randyXLT
Wish the air 3 supported ut
Yeah, it is a shame. Seems DJI are the route of the issue, but I don't fully understand the reasoning.
DON"T RENAME YOUR IMAGES ALL AT ONCE!!!! I select all my images and give them the project name. When windows does this it numbers them ( name (1), name (2), name (3)...). This software can't tell the difference in the name. I have 445 images that I can't use without renaming them. That SUCKS!
Hi - this might be due to the brackets. I know it works with numbers, so this is the only reason I can think of.
You can use Bulk Rename Utility, which is free, to remove all of those brackets in a few simple clicks and then you should be back on track.
Why not use qgis or arcgis
Hi, thanks for watching.
So far as I know QGIS has no photogrammetric processing model. I know ESRI has one and it can be attached to ArcGIS, but is is incredibly expensive. Here I wanted to highlight a free photogrammetric processing service and the output of that could be put into QGIS or ArcGIS for additional mapping and data processing, but the data needs to be created first.
@@geospatialtips hy, is it possible to use meshroom or 3dflow free for this meshroom might not have the tool but 3dflow do have a processing pan where we can specifically remote sensing as option, can you see and verify since I do not have access to drone or drone data to learn
Most of the time I could not hear you because you go so low, only occasionally
are you very loud, but most of the time I could not hear you, so I learned very little.
on this software minimal height 50m? too high)
Hi - I believe this is a limit of the free version. In their paid versions you can go as low as 2m.
@@geospatialtips wow, thanks, its very actual.
Thank you for the video. Apologies for this....the audio is terribly difficult to follow as your voice blasts out at the beginning of a sentence and then trails off to inaudible only to cycle all over again. Almost like a 'B' comedy skit....
Hi - thanks for the honest and valuable feedback. You're not the first to have said this. It's an odd one because although I know the audio isn't good, I don't have the "effect" you're mentioning. However, CZcams doesn't allow any audio edits after the video is already up and live and so I can't change it unfortunately. I have been working to improve the audio on the latest videos and I hope you will see the improvement too!
Wi ll subcribe but volume cranked & barely hear ya.
Thanks for watching and I hope you'll find the audio improved in later videos.
No DJI Mini 3 Pro support?! BAH
The mini3 Pro is on the support list.
Correct. And for other Mini 3s, the limit is that DJI themselves is not releasing the SDK to developers to work with. Not sure why, but this is why they cannot be supported by any third party.
please fix the audio
Thanks for the comment and hopefully in the latest video you'll find it greatly improved. I'll be working on this in the future.
How can i use dji rc controller with this?
Great Video. But man I can barely hear you.
Really?? I could hear it fine. You might need to get your headphones checked as they might need updating.
Great video but volume is too low with your accent
Thanks - noted and changes have been made for subsequent videos and I hope you notice a positive difference.
This is the second comment I have seen about the audio.
Odd, I didn't have any issues at all listening to it.
I reckon you guys might need to check your headphones as it is fine for the majority of us.
Audio is perfect for me, English is my second language too.
Volume button doesn’t exist to you? 😀 had no issues with the volume or understanding the words even though English is not my first language
