Can I afford drone LiDAR drone?
Price is often the main factor for many small businesses when it comes to purchasing a UAV solution. Looking for low-cost price tags or opting for preowned equipment might help with the bottom line in the beginning. However, if the system purchased can’t produce the quality of data required to create a solution, in the long run, this route can be more costly.

Our complete portfolio allows you to choose high-end drone surveying equipment appropriate for your work, software processing that maximizes your data and deliverables, all at a price to meet your needs.
2. What’s the difference between LiDAR and Photogrammetry?
Another form of this question is, “Do I have the right tool for the job?” Selecting LiDAR or photogrammetry sensors depends on the needs, timing, and resources for the projects to be surveyed.
For applications like creating digital twins, corridor mapping, topography, or construction site monitoring, LiDAR provides some key advantages over photogrammetry. Drone LiDAR can also collect data in significantly less time than it takes surveyors using photogrammetry methods. The photogrammetric processing, where the software “stitches” all of the images together can take much longer. With drone LiDAR, you can produce a point cloud shortly after you land and start to manipulate that data almost instantly. Having the right tool for the job – whether it’s being equipped with a camera or LiDAR sensor, will help you be more successful.
