TLT Photography Purchases DJI Mavic 2 Pro

I have enjoyed the use of my Mavic Pro for over two years now. With the ability to fold up to the size of a nalgene it has been the perfect aerial camera for me to take on outdoor adventures. The only thing I wish it had was a larger sensor to capture more dynamic […]

Today I conducted my first manned-mission aerial mapping acquisition!  I have been capturing my own data and processing through to completion for clients for over a year now but this always meant me standing on the ground and flying a drone.  This time I was actually the one in the air capturing the data!   For […]

1500ft Tower Modeling

This week I joined one of my partners for a trip to try to model what I call the “holy grail” of aerial photogrammety.   I have been developing a workflow of using terrestrial photogrammetry and a series of software suites to automatically model intricate lattice structures without the typical noise associated with photogrammetry projects of […]
