Measuring with a Drone

[Jonathan Goodwin]

Anyone tried using a drone to measure a tall sign? I know there are programs for roofers that might be adaptable.

I use Google satellite view and measure the length of it and figure out the height from there. Probably about as accurate as a drone... gets you in the ballpark.

Oh the tech you young whipper snappers have access to these days!

I send my drones out all the time to measure signs. They are more accurate in the morning. Once they eat lunch they get sleepy and are more prone to mistakes.

We have used a drone on tall signs and for inspection of the structure. However we have to combine that technology with the spike laser measure tool.

haha , I had a client tell me that I should use a drone to take pictures of his sign and get measurements. I told him that sounds fancy and all but I prefer to use subtense method and I can tell he didn't do well at math. Simple put it is a measure of known distances to extrapolate what you are measuring.

You need to also get a survey paid for and get real measurements, evaluate the structure, electrical etc. of hire someone who can do this for you.
