About this listen
Welcome back to another episode of Your Drone Questions. Answered.
Today we are answering the question 👉 "What equipment do I need to start drone mapping?"
Or more specifically… "What drone should I buy for mapping?"
In this episode, we cover:
🚁 Key drone features for mapping (automated missions, mechanical shutter, RTK/PPK compatibility)
🧠 What to consider if you're using consumer-grade drones like the Mini 4 Pro
📸 Sensor types, resolution, and why they matter for mapping quality
🌐 Choosing the right mapping software (DroneDeploy, PIX4D, DJI Terra, etc.)
🧰 Sample gear packages (from entry-level to enterprise setups)
🔌 Must-have accessories like GNSS receivers, RTK modules, and ground control gear
💻 Hardware + computing power you'll need for processing

🚨 BONUS: We just launched the Advanced Drone Mapping & Modeling Certificate Program.
