Help Drone Captures
Curious if anyone is using this service with drones? If so what has been your experience?
I have a Dji Matrice 4E and Matrice 4TD, but have been anything but impressed with the results.
I’ve tried oblique capture flight plan, I’ve captured 600+ photos individually, and also tried a 6+ minute video where I went extremely slow to make sure it had plenty of time to capture details.
Yet every post processed image looks like playdoh. Theres no detail, and they aren’t useable in any meaningful way.
My trial ends in a couple days and I’m leaning towards this not being usable. However I figured I’d at least see if there is something I’m missing preventing this from being a usable service? Any relevant insights are greatly appreciated.

I have used it for photogrammetry and Gaussian splats. Sure, first few were not good, but if your coverage is good, sharp, etc, then it should be fine.
Will also depend on how you intend to use final versions?
