Harnessing the power of advanced drone Mavic DJI Drones, we provide comprehensive aerial surveys and drone mapping services tailored to your specific needs. Whether you're in construction, agriculture, real estate, or environmental management, our expertise and cutting-edge equipment ensure precise and accurate results every time.

At Vantage Imagery Limited, we understand the importance of detailed land surveys and maps in informing critical decision-making processes. Our drones capture high-resolution imagery from above, allowing us to create detailed maps, contour lines, and 3D models of your site. From identifying potential hazards and planning construction projects to monitoring crop health and optimizing land use, our aerial surveys offer invaluable insights to drive your success.

With a focus on data accuracy and efficiency, our team of experienced professionals utilises the latest Mavic DJI Drones and advanced software to deliver superior results. Whether you need to measure distances, calculate volumes, or monitor changes over time, our aerial surveys provide the actionable intelligence you need to stay ahead of the curve.

The drone mapping process can produce a 2D/3D georeferenced map or a point cloud.

This is fully interactive, measurements can easily be made directly onto the map, measuring distance, area and gradient.

Survey Equipment

GNSS Base and Rover for RTK

RTK (Real Time Kinematics) are used to produce a highly accurate

(sub 3cm) georeferenced map/point cloud/3D model.

Ideal for building/construction sites, Cut and Fill projects or Plotting areas or Irrigation systems.

RTK & PPK Drones

DJI Phantom 4 Pro equipped with Dual band PPK receiver from Topodrone and a 20 megapixel camera which uses a mechanical shutter.

Both combined make it perfect for producing highly accurate georeferenced Maps or Drone Surveys.

Emlid RS2

GNSS Rover

This is one of 2 we use in RTK (Real Time Kinematics) or using NTRIP services. To collect GCP’s (ground control points) and check points to add to the maps accuracy.

DISCLAIMER

Vantage Imagery Ltd is NOT a survey company and it does not claim to be accredited surveyors or geomatics specialists.

Provided geospatial products would typically fall within the potential accuracy range as indicated within the 'RICS Professional Guidance Note - Measured Surveys of Land, Buildings and Utilities (Bands D to E)' and, therefore, must not be further used beyond its tasked-for requirements and /or to support other projects that would require greater degrees of accuracies."

Our geospatial products SHOULD NOT be independently used to authenticate measurements of any kind and be used in any legally-binding documentation UNLESS they have been ortho-rectified and are accompanied with additional and authenticated positional geodetic information that has been provided by a trained/accredited party accompanied by accuracy statements and which would compliment other accurate and project-supporting geospatial-related data.

Exploring the 5 Best Drones for Drone Mapping

Aerial Surveying Takes Flight

In today's rapidly evolving world, drones have emerged as indispensable tools for various industries, and one of the most promising applications is land mapping. These drones, equipped with advanced technology, have revolutionized the way we survey and map landscapes, delivering precise data and imagery for a multitude of purposes, from urban planning to agriculture.
