Man creates 3D map of abandoned Scottish mansion using drone

Having a camera on your drone doesn’t just allow you to record ridiculous fails and daring rescue attempts, you know. 

As Mark from the Abandoned Scotland YouTube channel has shown in his latest video, you can also use them to do some pretty badass 3D mapping.

Using a combination of Agisoft Photoscan, Drone Deploy and Phantom 3 Professional, Mark demonstrates how he’s able to create a 3D model of Cambusnethan Priory — an abandoned mansion in Scotland, UK — in the clip above.

The result is pretty damn realistic.
