Yes Paul has a eBee senseFly - https://www.sensefly.com/drones/ebee.html

Because it's a "winged" craft then with the right permissions it is
possible to fly over populated areas. So can get aerial footage for
relatively low cost, but is a more expensive investment than some of
the very low cost drones that seem to be more targeted towards filming.

It's also ideal for imagery as it will fly a preset route capturing the
required stills to cover the area needed, and then lands.`

[Talk-gb-westmidlands] OpenStreetCam or Mapillary?

[Brian Prangle]

Hi everyone

I'm in discussions with TfWM to use their inspection teams'  time on the
street to assist us by taking photos with smartphones, which will also help
them with their asset management and not have to rely on outdated data from
Google StreetView.

Which one of the above is better for us? Or just plain better?

Regards

Brian
