[grassrootsmapping] : Aerial mapping

[Anannop Onkaew]

Dear  Mathew and all,

    Rather than using balloon for aerial mapping, how do you think regarding advantage / disadvantage  if we use mast or pole photography rig ?  

 Please share opinion,  thank you.

Ken

Poles are awesome for small areas, the acronym is PAP.  Nathan Craig, who's on this list, uses a pole at archeological sites.  Each ortho photo will only be about 10 x 10 meters.

KAP discussion forums link to a cheap (£55) 11-meter carbon fiber carp pole, these are awesome.

poles can be rigged with a string trigger... fun, cheap, and low-tech, my favorite combination:
