Learn the field habits that separate good GCP data from great GCP data. This video covers the key best practices for collecting ground control points with an Emlid RS3 and Emlid Flow — but the concepts apply to any GNSS receiver or data collection software. We walk through confirming a fixed solution before collecting, setting up an averaging window to reduce noise, measuring and entering your height of instrument correctly, using a bipod for a stable setup, and running an inverse between two redundant shots to verify your data before you leave the point. Small habits, big impact on your DroneDeploy map accuracy.

A hands-on first look at the DJI Avata 360 and how its footage comes into DroneDeploy as a 360 walk. One question we hear all the time is whether you can fly a drone inside, and this is the drone that makes it practical. Grant takes it through a warehouse in North Dallas, covering the hardware, the transforming 360 camera and the upload into DroneDeploy. What's covered: 0:00 Intro and the question this video answers 0:30 First impressions, the RC2 controller and thin 360 design 1:30 Protecting the lenses: landing state and single-lens mode 2:20 Flying big open spaces fast 3:00 Switching field of view and front sensors 3:50 Back in the office: flattening the 360 video in DJI Studio 5:45 Uploading to DroneDeploy and setting the walk start 6:15 Reviewing the finished walk and final thoughts Learn more about DroneDeploy Ground: https://www.dronedeploy.com/product/d...

A hands-on look at the XGrids PortalCam and a step-by-step walk through bringing its data into DroneDeploy. If you have asked how PortalCam captures work and how to get that data into your DroneDeploy projects, this video covers it end to end. PortalCam pairs four spherical cameras with a front-mounted LiDAR sensor, so you get a real-time point cloud preview on your phone as you walk. It connects over Wi-Fi through the XGrids app, runs off two swappable batteries and packs into a compact case that travels in a backpack. As you capture, it tracks your walking speed and flags you to slow down past one meter per second, which keeps the scan sharp. Many teams already capture interiors with a 360 camera like the Insta360 X5. PortalCam works in a similar way in the field, with the onboard LiDAR adding a live point cloud as you walk. Grant covers the full workflow, from capture in the field to a finished point cloud and Gaussian splat inside DroneDeploy. What's covered: 0:00 Intro and the question this video answers 0:31 PortalCam hardware tour 1:02 Connecting the app over Wi-Fi 1:40 Capturing in the field with a live point cloud 2:16 Walk-speed indicator and capture quality 2:45 Stopping the scan and packing up 3:48 Back in the office: processing setup 4:16 Processing in the LCC cloud and exporting a PLY 4:52 Importing the PLY into DroneDeploy 5:10 Point cloud vs splat 5:36 Wrap-up Have a PortalCam and want to bring your captures into DroneDeploy?

Capture measurable interior 3D with the phone in your pocket. Mobile 3D Scan is coming to DroneDeploy Ground, no 360 camera required. In this video we walk through how it works. You walk a space with your phone, it captures photos automatically as you move, and those photos get reconstructed into a measurable 3D model. We treat each phone photo like a drone photo, so the same measurement tools you use outside work inside too. What you can do with Mobile 3D Scan: – Document open trenches, mechanical rooms and underground piping before they get covered – Walk and capture automatically, with no 360 camera and no specialist to schedule – Measure pipe runs, clearances and outlet locations long after the walls close – Keep phone captures in the same record as your drone maps on one platform #Shorts #DroneDeploy #constructiontech #realitycapture #3Dscanning #construction #jobsite #drones

The site has a full record before it has a building. Walk it with a 360 camera in DroneDeploy Ground. You mark a starting point and the camera shoots two photos a second, building a Street View-style record of what will become the building. You don't even need drawings yet. Walk it again next month and the captures stack, so you can compare the same spot over time. Anyone who can't get to the site can still see it.

Steele and Freeman Assistant Project Manager Oscar Martyn walks us through how his team documents the Crowley High School replacement — a 73-acre campus outside Fort Worth where earthwork, framing, MEP rough-in and finishes are all happening at the same time. Aerial coverage and 360 walks give Oscar's team a running record across the entire campus — verified before pay apps get signed, pulled up when coordination questions surface, and there when a busy day keeps him from reaching a corner of the site. In this episode: → How one team documents a 73-acre active construction campus → 360 walks used to verify material deliveries and support pay app review → Aerial and ground capture working together to keep the full project team aligned → What consistent documentation looks like on a project this size 🔔 Subscribe for more site visits 🌐 Learn more at dronedeploy.com #DroneDeploy #ConstructionTech #TheSiteVisit #360Capture #Documentation #AEC #CrowleyISD #SchoolConstruction

There are some pretty big changes coming to DroneDeploy Ground. The team has been heads-down building something that changes what you can do with your captures – and we think you're going to like it. Stay tuned here for updates. In the meantime, see what Ground is already doing today: https://lnkd.in/gzAPhefC #construction #constructiontech #360capture #documentation
