  Can some one walk me through a reasonable compensation for performing field work by contract. I figure I'd bid on job hours with equipment rental, per diem, 10% unknown all in my offer. But what is reasonable? $28.00/hr PC wages is good with a company... and I know design and field hours can get up to $125+ per hour with Engineers.

  Real drones are dumb, fly once and die.

  U.A.V.s on the other hand are very useful and powerful tols.

  I will take a look at your links.

    The production, based on the samples, looks well done. I take issue with some of the concepts presented therein. Land Surveying is properly called a practice not an industry.

    Every new technique of measuring or positioning ushers in experts in that particular technology who try to build a business model around it and try to persuade that it is an industry. If any two surveys were the same that might be the case, but it is not.

    The definition of land surveying presented in the Youtube video is incorrect. "Land surveying is the technique of determining the terrestrial or three-dimensional positon[s] of points and the distances and angles between them" is a pretty good definition of topographic surveying but falls short of the practice of land surveying.

    Perhaps after an iteration or two it will be wonderful. Best wishes & good luck!
