Y’all missing the point saying how it’s so expensive to start and he’s not even working. All I know is he took a hobby he liked, found a nitch, saved, worked and made more money than I’ll ever get flying drones. Then is kind enough to share the information for free on how to do it. Also he never once said the word easy in the video. Keep up the great work man!
Say it louder for the haters in the comments! Finally, some common sense. Thank you!
@@IndianaDrones thank you man! Maybe pin it?
Nitch?
@@billybull7419 it's a market that you can sell to that has a lot of demand but no competition usually very specific. It's a great way to start a business is by finding a nitch.
It’s still bs lmao try doing that with no cash.. never gonna happen
No you worked at this for years. The end result of 1000x’s of hours. Being at the right place at the right time but waiting for years in that one spot while spending $100,000’s in schooling, gear and software.
Im sorry but I’m not a fan of this kind of content. Don’t cheapen what you have accomplished for clicks.
We're just trying to help spark more interest in the LiDAR community Daniel!
@@IndianaDrones I hear you. I think there is enough people pumping how “easy” it is to do LiDAR data. Not enough people showing the hard parts.
@@LiDARs That's why I have an entire channel full of all the hard parts!
@@LiDARs what’s hard about it. Fly a camera around map an area bring it back plug it into the computer. Then push and click buttons on the computer. Something being hard to learn and hard to do are so different things. But there is nothing physically hard about this.
@@apbt067 physical hard no. I’m not going to explain what can go wrong and make the whole industry look like fools.
The fact is anyone can go buy a cheap drone and go fly it. Will they know how good their data is, is another question. Why it’s bad data is another and how to resolve to a proper outcome is the final.
I consult on data capture and conversion. Noobs left right and center making my and just about every VDC’s job a nightmare.
Here's how I made $45K... First, I spent $100K...
Your numbers are way off! And after my initial overhead investment is covered, I can make more money to earn a good ROI.
@@IndianaDrones poor capitalists mindset
@@liamprincetech and ofc there's no reply
@@liamprincetech don’t bother lmao it’s all for likes and views.
@@liamprincetech He doesn't have "one reply", you are not his boss, he is his own boss building a legit business for himself and his family, crazy concept right?
"this is how i spent $45,000 dollars to make $45,000!
In only 48 hours!!
Seems like the money spent was a one time investment, and just now returned to net zero. Now it's time to turn a profit. This isn't the gotcha you think it is lol
@@Crossfirev agreed
The good news: you can use your initial business investment more than once. Imagine that! Life is a marathon, not a race.
@@Crossfirev Nailed it! Visit www.rockrobotic.com for more information on how you can make money in Aerial Land Surveying.
Bro this screams “only for the already rich” 🤣
Nah bro he was already busted. It takes 1000s of hours of work and school and equipment. Along with him waitting in that spot for years.
It's a business endeavor / opportunity that requires a lot less money (and time) than a traditional college education. So, what's the problem?
not for you dude I’m saying for
anyone who is trying get into this. Good on you if you have all that money, not every one does that’s what I meant. Maybe you didn’t start off like that but thats besides the point. You already have the funds and resources to do this, like a computer with a capable processor and stuff to do imaging like that.
This isn’t something just anyone can do unless they also have the funds or if they are willing to throw away everything they have to attempt success like this.
That’s a fact.
You literally start off your video with saying you use a several thousand dollar drone.
Also a fact.
“I looked up the drone if by some chance you were wondering”
Never was I ever trying to diminish your hard work.
@@roguecataclysm017 Yes, but it's still a worthy business investment for those that are willing and able to get into the industry. Is it not?
@@IndianaDrones did I ever say it wasn’t?
And secondly
I was just being honest, something you should learn to be in your videos apparently.
That video is Clickbait
You never actually state how expensive it is to do it, you just say “you can do it”
Just be more honest.
“now just 20 more flights, and can pay off my equipment!”

@@IndianaDrones Stop making shorts L UA-camr
Do you not understand how a business works? No shit he has to buy the equipment first. As well as the software and the knowledge and he has to pay with time
Just so y’all know that LiDAR cam is about 14,000$ , and that drone is like 15,000🤣
Now add in the mapping software to post process the data. Then if it you made an error. I hope you have some good errors and omissions insurance.

The good news: you can make more money after you cover your initial investment.
That LiDAR camera is actually $46,800.
@@liamprincetech 🤣 needing expensive specialist tools to be able to do high paying speciality work is a pyramid scheme now ???
@@IndianaDrones ...right after we are forced to buy an EV right? Pffffft. Pipe dreams.
Sure let me just get my $10,000 dollar drone out😂
We're all waiting!
That's price is just for RTK. lidar drone cost more
that drones probably like 30k or 40k
This guys a douche just look at all his responses and responses alike. Telling everybody that can't put that amount upfront "toughshit" basically. In this life if you dont grow up privilaged without hardships and start at the bottom of the barrel, you will most likely stay at the bottom with the rest of us bottom feeders while dudes like these get rich quick schemes flap money infront saying look how it easy it is knowing too damn well that its not a possibility with most of us.
That camera itself is like 46 k. Who know how much after tax. Like holy shit
I started doing unmanned systems in 1998 eventually working my way into getting investors and taking on military contracts doing drones as they started to become status quo. If you pick a specialty like he is talking about like LiDAR topo point cloud or any kind of survey type of work you will make substantial chunks of change.
Truth!
State boards will require a Land Surveyor license for generating Topo or I'd tied to a boundary. It's coming so start studying and getting your experience!
@@tomthomsen11 It's already here. NC state board is suing several companies.
35 tears licensed here in SoCal. Wanted to retire but now my kids are getting their civil degrees (1 more year and it's my daughters,, not my boys). So....I'll keep plugging along until they are licensed. Having both a Civil and survey license helps ensure you have work when the economy crashes. Having the drone and software adds another tool to the toolbox! Nowhere near as tight as GPS or a total station but it's okay for dirt shots!
Sorry, YEARS not tears! lol!
Your “Hobby” drone was a Matrice 300 with LiDAR? What a way to start a hobby
Thanks!

We can help you out with that over at www.rockrobotic.com - We recently lowered the cost of our LiDAR unit! Let us know if we can help.
@@IndianaDrones lol so your basically a sponsor for the company your trying to get people involved in, my good sir that’s a pyramid scheme with extra steps
In most cases, you have to be a registered surveyor to sign off the data to be used in construction etc
A lot quicker and easier than getting a four-year college degree!
Homeboy forgot you needa be a licensed Surveyor to provide mapping data 😬
“Don’t recommend this channel”
I'm sure it took more than 48 hours just to set up and learn the equipment
Totally! But the time spent on the job site and producing a final result was indeed 48 hours.
technically is not easy. shout out for all the aerial surveying people like us..
nice to meet you from geodetic engineer heree !!
The mapping includes NDVI imaging as well ?
With just $25k of equipment and no guaranteed work you could have $48k in two days!
That’s like a wedding photographer dating I make $2k in 1 day. But it was his only paid gig for the month…
Sounds like that wedding photographer needs to get off their ass, market themselves, network, and get some more damn gigs booked!

@@SKOMPAS $60 to shoot a house? bro what. Raise your prices !
@@northofbrandon it’s all about quantity, I have been making good reliable money for a couple of years now
If all you need is 2 grand then that’s plenty of money for a four hour shoot
So you paid off the drone in two days 👍🏻
And the LiDAR camera! Now that my initial overhead investment is covered, I can make more money to earn a good ROI.
By the way is that enable knowing the terrain heights in the scanned area? Highest point and lowest point ? Or that’s another system to use ?
Pov you look up how to make money in gta
To make money that most people don’t you need to do what most people aren’t willing to do. Even when you tell them how to do it they argue. 😂
Sure but I know that LiDAR camera is about $27,000 USD plus it requires I think two subscriptions which total a few grand a year to get all the features.
How are you able to get around part 107 or restriction of not being able to fly autonomously?
Hey I have a mavic air 2, curious how much the matrice and LiDAR are going for together total. Ballpark 22-26k usd?

@@IndianaDronesfr
sadly you never mentioned where you sold the model . after creating the 3D model, where did you sold it?
How do we get started
Are you a licensed land surveyor surveyor?
Don't have to be if the client is taking responsibility. Just a licensed pilot. I fly drones and I'm a lidar tech.
@@user-xi4rj4qd3p Depends on where. North Carolina Survey board is coming down on a guy for doing MUCH less than this. Just did orthomaps, essentially photography, and is being sued and criminally threatened by the state board. I would think though for this project, the guy is likely working under the supervision of a surveyor or handing this data off to one to be checked. Then yeh. Fully legal pretty much everywhere in the states.
@@landshaperstudio North Carolina is wierd like that. Not sure if it's good or bad.
@@user-xi4rj4qd3p I think there is plenty of merit for regulation, just not the broad and vague approach they are taking. Just like design. Most states have a clear line drawn in the sand about practice law and how that's defined. And even here in MS the surveryor board has a clear outline of what is not considered surveying pretty much boiling down to if you put a disclaimer on it, you're good. But NC seems to just have a board that let tech outpace them and are trying to cast a broad net to stop all of it without clear direction. Hopefully it'll get narrowed down to something reasonable. There's levels to surveying as there is to design. And not all of it requires someone at $300/hr with a 4 year degree... (coming from someone currently paying back loans on 4 year degree)
@@landshaperstudio 💯 agreed 👍
Step one: spend 50k in drone shit
Step two: make 45k.
Step 3: Book more jobs and make more money to earn ROI.

Flying drones has been a huge hobby of mine for upwards of 7+ years. It is very inspiring to see the potential of turning it into a source of income via LiDAR, as well as other avenues. I was seeing some of the hate this was getting, and was surprised in some instances in the lack of common sense. In any case, your content and the effort you put into it is very appreciated! Keep it up bro!

The main point is that this video rocks by binging all of us together to discuss this that and everyone's Mama too. 💕
yeah... how much drone, camera, software etc?
Question!! Once you had the terrain data, what did you do with it (do you just sell it to a certain type of company?) to earn your revenue?
Im sure you are hired by Disneyland looking to expand their area a few miles to determine what and where they want to start
Its a great job, when i will have free 15k€ imma defo get into it, but im sure you can start with sliplier setups, may be inspire or mavic enterpirse?
Yes you can, there's a decent commercial market for visual drone inspections, and you can do them with something as simple as a mavic, And if you don't wanna pay for schooling, if you're a highschool student, some community colleges offer classes to get a commerical drone liscense, all completely free.
@@greenalien8503 thanks for info
@@skidhvh np, I took one of those free classes myself last year at Ventura college (in California), and I can say they're really helpful, completely free, and teach you everything from legal requirements, to communicating with local ATC to get special permissions, to keeping logs and planning out inspection flights (required by law if I remember). They also teach you about all of the different carreer options for you (including what this guy did in the video), and even how to fly different types of drones and give you hands on expirience with flying some fix wing and Mavic type drones out in a field. They pretty much hold your hand the entire way up to yourself official certification test.
I would've gotten my liscense too if I hadn't dropped out early due to personal reasons
But even if you're not a highschool student joining some free program out there, paying to take a class to get your license isn't that expensive. The biggest cost would definitely be buying a drone in the first place lol.
