Consumer Drone Mapping Configuration
The listed consumer drones in our supported drone list do not have mapping functionality built in to the software, but we can manipulate the waypoint feature to allow this. Being able to use consumer drones, although more difficult to use and more chance of failure, prevents the need to buy an expensive commercial drone.
How To?
We can use a feature in the remote control known as Waypoint feature. The drone must have this feature to allow mapping.
The drone must also have a supported controller:
DJI RC-N1/RC-N2/RC-N3
DJI RC
DJI RC 2/RC Pro/RC Pro 2
Step 1:
Click the link to take you to Waypointmap.com This is where you can create the flight plan. Watch the video below to see how to create an area and the certain parameters which need to be set.
Height: 120 meters above the ground, the maximum legal height you are allowed to fly.
Speed: 15 m/s (50 Kph)
Distance between paths: 70 Meters
Step 2:
the exported .KMZ file needs to be imported into the drone remote control. Replacing the excising file. Watch the videos below to find a tutorial for each remote:
DJI RC-N1/RC-N2/RC-N3:
Android:
DJI RC 2/RC Pro/RC Pro 2:
Step 3:
Its vital you turn on timed image capture. 3 Seconds is the perfect interval. Watch the video below to see a comprehensive tutorial
