Poor mans GCP?

Data Processing - Discussion and Q&A

Good morning,
I am flying a mavic pro. I have used Dronedeploy for about a year. My question is there a poor mans work around for GCP’s? I am manually flying the same yard at the same height for a landscaping project to capture growth and shad tracks, along with planning ans elevation changes. I has been working ok but it is off by several feet when I do the “compare”. A quick look online and in forum’s and it looks like it is pretty expensive to do GCP’s for the average guy. for time to time.

  1. What is the most inexpensive way to do GCP’s?
  2. I have stumps and rocks that never move and I all ways fly the yard at 40ft. Is there a way to at least get the maps to always use those reference points so it is more repeatable?

Thanks
Tim
