What is the best way to model a Residential site for Scanifly?
App Navigation
In order to get the best quality model detail from a residential site in Scanifly, we recommend using the "Orbit" or "Point of Interest" flight mode that your particular drone model has.
Context Flight
The context flight is used to give context to the site, showing the structure and surrounding area.
- Flight height: ~100-125' AGL
- Gimbal Pitch: ~35-45°, make sure there is no horizon in view
- Speed: 2-3mph with photos every 2-3 seconds, aiming for consistency. The speed of the drone can be faster depending on the size of the site.
Detailed Flight
The detail flight is used to fill in the detail not captured by the context flight, and is flown at a much closer distance to the structure or area being modeled. In this case one detail flight was used for the structure.
- Flight height: ~60-100' AGL (at least 20' above any obstructions)
- Gimbal Pitch: ~35°-45°, make sure there is no horizon in view
- Speed: 2-3mph with photos every 2-3 seconds, aiming for consistency
