Stockpile volumes
Trace a pile. Get cubic yards, tons by material, footprint and height, with four ways to set the base. See how much it moved since the last flight.
Drone mapping for construction
Drone maps your clients will actually open.
Upload a Mavic 3 Enterprise or Matrice 4 flight. Get a 2D map, elevation, a 3D model, stockpile volumes and cut/fill, then slide through every capture date to see progress.

Capture timeline
Every flight on one timeline.
Drag the slider. That's how your clients see their job: from cleared land to a building pad, one date at a time.
- Before and after split view between any two flights
- Notes and pins tied to the date they were made
- Stockpile change and cut/fill since the last flight
Demo site: Arcola Commerce Park, Loudoun County, VA. The demo uses Esri World Imagery Wayback satellite archive imagery (dates approximate). Your maps come from your own drone flights.
How it works
Plan it. Fly it. Send it.
Built around how pilots already work in DJI Pilot 2. No new hardware, no desktop software.
01 / PLAN
Draw the site, download the flight
Draw the boundary, pick your drone and what the client needs. Captured Maps sets altitude, overlap and camera angle, and hands you a KML for DJI Pilot 2.
- Mavic 3 Enterprise, Matrice 4E and 4T
- Progress map, 2D + 3D, or volumes presets
- Acres, photo count, flight time and batteries up front
02 / FLY AND UPLOAD
Pick the folder. We check every photo.
Plug in the SD card and choose the DCIM folder. Before anything uploads, each photo is checked so a bad card doesn't cost you a trip back to the site.
- GPS, camera, RTK, date and overlap checks
- Uploads straight to storage, 500 to 2,000 photos is typical
- Watch each processing stage as it runs
03 / SHARE
Your client gets a link, not a file
Invite clients by email with view or edit roles, or send a view-only link. They get an email when a new capture is ready and open it on a phone or computer.
- Every site, capture and client in one dashboard
- Clients view free, unlimited
- Installs to the home screen like an app
What every flight gives you
The numbers the site actually asks for.
Before and after
Split the map between two flights and drag the line across the site.
Cut and fill
See what was cut and filled between two flights, or grade against a target elevation.
2D, elevation and 3D
Sharp aerial map, height colors with contours, and a 3D model you can spin.
Notes on the map
Pin an issue where it is, like "silt fence down along north swale", then mark it resolved.
Atlas, the assistant
It sees the map you're looking at and can switch views, compare flights or open sharing for you.

Need the site flown too?
Captured Media flies construction sites across Virginia and delivers straight into Captured Maps. Quoted per job.
Which drones work with Captured Maps?
DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise and Matrice 4 (4E and 4T). Flight plans and photo checks are built for both.
Do my clients have to pay or make an account?
Clients view free and unlimited. Invite them by email to sign in with a one-time code, or send a view-only link that opens without signing in.
Do I need RTK?
RTK gives the best accuracy and is what we recommend today. The upload check tells you whether RTK was on for every photo. Support for ground control points on non-RTK flights is on the roadmap.
How many photos can one map have?
Most sites run 500 to 2,000 photos. Your plan includes a monthly photo allowance, and extra photos are $5 per 1,000. Pay per map covers up to 1,500 photos.
Does it work on a phone?
Yes. Captured Maps runs in the browser and can be added to the home screen on iPhone and Android, so it opens like an app.
Can you fly the site for me?
Yes. Captured Media flies sites across Virginia and delivers into Captured Maps. Those jobs are quoted separately.
