Covered yards change the tool
Under canopy and in sheds, handheld SLAM earns its keep. Outside in the open, fly it if you can.
Application
Stockpile and volumes
Volumes under cover and on mixed sites.

Basics
What to know before you buy
Control still matters
viDoc gives you centimetre points without a second rover stack. Use it when the volume has to sit on a site datum.
Do not oversell density
Stockpile work is about honest volume and repeatable method. Channel count is rarely the bottleneck. Method is.

Questions for this job
Handheld or drone for stockpiles?
Drone when the yard is open. Handheld when you are under cover or the pile sits in a shed. Many sites need both.
Where does viDoc fit?
Control and spot checks. Pair with C1 when you need the walk-through cloud.
How accurate are the volumes?
Depends on method, coverage and how you fix coordinates. We set expectations against your acceptance criteria at handover.
Do we need C10 for stockpiles?
Rarely for simple piles. C10 is for large or complex geometry. Ask us if the yard is unusual.
