Dronelink itself does not do photogrammetry, but it allows you to construct concise flight paths which can produce video and still captures for processing later. There are many applications for photogrammetry, some are free.
If you meant mapping, basic mapping is included with the "Elite" plan, but again, this produces photographs - not 3d models.
You will find there are quite a few software systems for doing photogrammetry (stitching together the images). I believe that Zephyr Free is probably the best program out there in the free category. The link to download the free version is https://www.3dflow.net/3df-zephyr-free/ . There are other programs that may limit the number of photos you can stitch and still be free. But doing this for a hobby you would never have a large number of photos anyway. You may want to fly your house, or create a 3D model of a statue, barn, etc.
I simply need a program to make automated captures(mapping), I already have a program for 3d modeling (agisoft) i but I have to buy a better pc because this program requires a lot of computing power.
As Ken stated above, the Elite plan will do mapping and very well.
pascalbenoit I haven't tried Zephyr - it looks like an interesting choice but, if you don't want to run it on your PC then you have some other choices if you don't want to spend the money to upgrade.
I have been using WebODM - which gives the option to run on their servers (paid, but they give you credits to get started), your own PC, or create your own version in the cloud. It's all open source and very powerful. Here's a link to get you started with that https://webodm.net/
Hope that helps!
