I've taken all 3 courses in the mapping and modeling bundle and they've been incredibly helpful. I have pages of notes and information, half of which I came into the course knowing absolutely nothing about. These courses have my mind racing at some of the applications for Drone mapping, surveying, and modeling. Couldn't thank Jared and Pilot Institute enough!
Christian Smith
I had the incredible privilege of learning from Jared, an outstanding instructor who not only opened my eyes to the endless possibilities of drone technology but also delved into the myriad software tools that can make these possibilities a reality. To say that my experience was enlightening would be an understatement; it was nothing short of exceptional. Early on I said that this instructor possessed a deep well of knowledge and a genuine passion for the subject matter. His ability to convey complex concepts with ease and enthusiasm was nothing short of remarkable. I found myself captivated from the get-go.

These classes do not require you to own a specific drone. It's possible to create maps with any drone. Having said that, you will achieve higher quality and faster results with a drone that has a mechanical shutter such as the Phantom 4 Pro or the new Mavic 3 Enterprise.
We use a variety of software in these courses including DJI GS Pro (which is free), Drone Deploy, Pix4D, and much more. We use a broad range of software throughout the classes to give you an understanding of everything that's out there.
Drone mapping foundations is the class that we recommend taking first.
Description
Drones are used for much more than just taking photos and videos. They are increasingly being used as data platforms for businesses to make important decisions.
Farmers are using drones to analyze crop health and increase yields. Construction companies are using them to monitor their job sites and get accurate measurements of stockpiles.
Surveyors are using drones to create precise topographical maps which is essential for land development projects, boundary disputes, and property valuation.
Law enforcement agencies are creating 3D models of accidents to speed up investigations.
In the energy sector, drones are being used to inspect power lines, solar panels, pipelines, and wind turbines, providing regular maintenance checks while reducing cost and increasing safety.
The bottom line is that a drone is just a tool. It requires specialized knowledge and expertise to get the most out of it.
The more specialized your knowledge is, the more value you can provide to your clients. The more value you can provide to your clients, the more you can charge.
This class condenses 6 years of knowledge into a comprehensive roadmap for how to deliver high quality maps, models, and surveys your clients will love.
The goal of this class is to give you the know-how to turn your drone into a data-gathering powerhouse.
You’re not just flying for the sake of flying – you’re gathering, analyzing, and delivering data that makes a difference. That’s where the real value is.
So, if you’re tired of the race to the bottom and ready to stand out, it’s time to dive into drone mapping, modeling, and surveying.
