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.

2. Context Flight:

The context flight is used to give context to the site, showing the structure and surrounding area.

• Flight height: ~70' AGL
• Gimbal Pitch: ~45°, make sure there is no horizon in view
• Speed: ~3mph with photos every 2-3 second, aiming for consistency

3. Detail Flight #1:

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: ~10' above roof
• Gimbal Pitch: ~30°, make sure there is no horizon in view
• Speed: ~3mph with photos every 2-3 second, aiming for consistency

4. Detail Flight #2:

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 large trees/shading obstructions to the south of the building. Similar parameters as Detail Flight #1 can be used here.

5. Photo Count and Breakdown:

• Total Photos: 199
• Context Flight: 41 Photos
