Ok i see. So it is for photogrammetry purpose. Mavic 3 is more centered on video task. If you want to achieve land surveying without RTK, better stay with Mavic 2, Pro or Zoom, they both have good capabilities for this task and waypoints enabled! I personally use my M2Z as backup drone for land mapping and inspection. It requires more Ground Control Point, but doesn't take place in the car and can save a workday. For daily surveying, without RTK/PPK its definitely not reasonable for a professional user. Or your company have enough budget to spend 10x more time placing GCP and processing data.
Most probably it is the reason why DJI decided not to invest time on SDK for consumer version. No swappable payload, no RTK.
But in the other hand i agree that for the one who wants to start surveying, and is not yet a company with enough income, it might be a problem. So for that people i strongly recommend M2 or P4. The final results will be the same in terms of raster quality.
The SDK is useful for more than photogrammetry.
As previously mentioned, one popular use was to run Litchi and other similar programs for automated flight.
There would probably be 10x more Litchi users than people doing photogrammetry.
Previous DJI consumer drones had an SDK available, allowing cost-effective drones for high quality photogrammetry.
Many users are rightly disappointed and annoyed at DJI's decision to take this away from recent models, forcing users to buy more expensive "enterprise" models to do what was always possible before with consumer models. |
