This paper is an introduction to AirGon’s Bring Your Own Drone (BYOD) Mapping Kit. This kit contains all of the software components and training that you will need to conduct successful mapping operations using a DJI Phantom or Inspire. While it is unabashedly an advertorial for our products, I think you will also gain understanding of where low cost drone mapping can be effective and the steps you will need to take to execute a project.
