Experience with DJI drones?

Does anyone have experience using DJI drones for monitoring? I am thinking about using a DJI drone for my Masters. Just wanted to get some thoughts on it.




Hi Jprobert,

I have been trying to use my Phanton 3 proffessional together with Pix4Dmapper to trial out some forest mapping in Principe Island.

if you are interested check it out the interview I give to CNN Inside Africa about how drones and 3D mapping technologies are bringing our knowledge of Principe island’s forests into the 21st Century.
