So You Want to Create Maps Using Drones?: Photogrammetry Field Guide for Photographers, Researchers and Conservationists

The book is basic stuff. Wait for a book on photogrammetry that covers the basics, but delves in much deeper featuring critiques of available software options.

Full of good info on subject very please with it all written in a easy to read format

Thanks!!! Gracias!!!

Save your money! As others have mentioned, Google can provide you more information than this book. In fact, this book references the internet frequently in its pages. The case studies are light on details. The information contained here is not in keeping with its price. A field guide, as its tagline suggests, this is not.

If the price for a new copy were down in the $8-9 range (or less for used) instead of $16+ for would have given this a four star. Some of the material is dated which is expected given fast pace of technology evolution, some of it still relevant as tips, techniques tend to have longer shelf life. Most if not all of what is in the book you can find via various websites, however there is the ease of it being in one place pre-printed for reading. Would like to have read, seen and heard more of the authors expereinces as much of the book reads like an interview or discussions with others which has some value. However if I want to read interview type material can get that off of the web. Overall, Convient way to get what you can get for free via web searches, if you can get for $8 or so new, less for used, might be worth it.

There is a lot of talk about the methodologies behind photogrammetry, and how drones work. Literally the first half of the book assumes you don't know anything about drones and aerial photography/mapping. I knew enough to do some research, and have been familiarizing myself with the techniques and tools, and feel that if you've done the same, you'll have the same issue with this book.

Good book on Drones and software

This book seems hastily put together, riddled with typing and grammatical errors, no sense of consistency, very repetitive. The internet has been much more helpful to me. It seems to be made of high quality materials though.
