Drone Planning Tools
Practical web tools for drone pilots, property owners, and project teams. This section will continue to grow as new tools are added.
Useful planning tools, built for real aerial work
These tools are designed to help with light planning, site preparation, mission decision-making, and project scoping. Some are aimed at drone pilots. Others help customers, contractors, and property teams define what they actually need before the first flight.
Shadow Planner
Estimate sunrise, sunset, sun direction, shadow direction, and the best shooting window 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 mapping and photogrammetry missions.
Deliverable Selector
Answer a few quick questions and get a recommended service package, suggested outputs, and a downloadable scope brief for your project.
