[Qgis-user] Drones in forestry

[Alejandro Chamizo de Castro]

Hello Piort,

In my opinion everything depends on the surface extensions. Flying an
extension of 500 ha with a multi-rotor drone would be practically
unfeasible, would consume many batteries, for those surfaces are
recommended fixed-wing drones capable of flying surfaces up to 1000 ha in a
single flight, some have up to an hour of autonomy, but these drones are
out of your budget, cost more than 2000 $

If the surfaces are very extensive, it would be better idea to think of
satellite images as the colleage said, you could study if you serve the
images of Sentinel-2, with resolution of 10m, are free.
