I just finished up writing part 1 of aerial mapping 400 acers of Fly Ranch which is owned by the Burning Man Project.

You can read up on it at my blog here.

Here is an image of the 4 sections mapped, each about 100 acers taking up one p4 battery each.



Fly Ranch has a very unique geyser called Fly Geyser, which after mapping that day I took my i1 out for some fun to fly around.  This is all b roll footage but feel free to watch the video of this amazing place.



Please check it out in 4k for best quality.

Let me know if you have any questions about mapping.  Part 2 of my article will go way more into depth about the tech, software and what can be done with this type of data sets.

Here is another pic looking down at the Geyser!

Steve, when do you think Google Maps will start accepting 3D renderings of geo-spaces from drone pilots, to overlay on their Maps and Google Earth images?

Good question.. I know some of the map guys , hopefully they are still there and can ask but prob some time for now.. you can submit 3d objects to google earth though.
