HOW IT BEGAN
After becoming frustrated searching Google for a premade GCP that was durable enough to withstand the elements but also lightweight and portable, we decided to make our own Ground Control Points. We wanted to solve two main issues with our GCPs:
1. create a GCP that would not tear when a survey rod was placed into the middle of the target
2. create a GCP that would allow a surveyor to place wooden stakes for ground control ahead of time
GCP TESTING & EXPANSION
Using some commonly used materials, we developed a relationship with a supplier specializing in outdoor vinyl material. After some testing with multiple finishes of the GCPs, we were able to identify a finish that reduced glare at high altitudes while also maintaining high contrast and high visibility during post-processing.
We initially launched the 6 pack eyelet and passthrough versions before expanding with multiple other options based on customer feedback, including adding the iron cross GCPs, numbered GCPs, and the XL 48"x48" GCPs.
