Drone Planning Tools
Practical web tools for drone pilots, property owners, contractors, and project teams. Use them to plan lighting, estimate mission requirements, choose deliverables, and prepare better property documentation before the first flight.
Shadow Planner
Estimate sunrise, sunset, sun direction, shadow direction, and better shooting windows for cleaner facades, stronger roof texture, or longer dramatic shadows.
Mission Planner & GSD Calculator
Estimate GSD, ground footprint, suggested altitude range, image count, rough battery count, and overlap guidance for stitched aerial-imagery missions.
Deliverable Selector
Answer a few quick questions and get a recommended service package, suggested outputs, and a downloadable scope brief for your project.
Florida Property Documentation Planner
Build a practical drone and photo checklist for roofs, exteriors, storm prep, property condition records, maintenance baselines, and recurring site documentation.
Plan better flights
Estimate lighting, image detail, mission scale, and basic capture requirements before going on site.
Scope better projects
Help customers and project teams understand whether they need photos, video, recurring views, visual mapping, or condition records.
Create useful resources
These tools support practical decision-making while also expanding the Southview Learning Center with helpful drone-related resources.
