On today's episode we discuss about how pilots can build robust drones for photogrammetry work and how pilots can develop softwares and systems for these drones. Our question for today is from Nathan who is looking for developing drones and systems for his projects, considering the constant threat in the drone industry about DJI's status. Thanks for the question, Nathan. On the episode we discuss how DJI has set up the market with robust drones and cost effective solutions and how pilots can start off on developing drones. We talk about American companies and how they have structured themselves as system integrators to provide the industry with drone solutions. We discuss platforms, mechanical controls and cost involved to build these drones. We then delve into the software side of things and how pilots can build softwares for their drones and the platforms available.
