Drone on

Collecting high-quality contextual photos is an important part of visualization, so we upgraded our early DJI Phantom series drone to a Mavic Pro. At just about 1.5 lbs including the battery, it travels easily to building sites and collapses to a convenient 3” by 8”. The greatest improvement over our old manually adjusted camera mount is the gimbal-mounted HD camera with 4K video, which gives us more flexibility to gather images on the fly.
