These classes do not require you to own a specific drone. It's possible to create maps with any drone. Having said that, you will achieve higher quality and faster results with a drone that has a mechanical shutter such as the Phantom 4 Pro or the new Mavic 3 Enterprise.
We use a variety of software in these courses including DJI GS Pro (which is free), Drone Deploy, Pix4D, and much more. We use a broad range of software throughout the classes to give you an understanding of everything that's out there.
Drone mapping foundations is the class that we recommend taking first.
