Most people view flying a drone for video and/or photos as fun and exciting, but what’s not generally visible to spectators is the substantial work required to pre-plan, review previously recorded video, ensure adequate image coverage, transfer files to appropriate parties (and formats), and manage all related documentation on-site.
While many are looking to alternatives outside of phones and “traditional” consumer tablets, you have to consider something like a rugged Windows tablet. Larger screen for applications, and easier to manage files, videos, and other content on a tablet versus a phone.
In jobs like roof inspections, land mapping, farm surveys, site surveys, and outdoor filming, the tablet can help with more than just flying. It can be used to check photos, review footage, organise folders, and handle the rest of the job while you are still in the field.
