The capabilities of DJI Phantom 4, which is the low cost drone producing by Dji company, was evaluated through sample flights in Cinarpinar Forest Enterprise Chief in Kahramanmaras in Turkey. In addition, the photogrammetric workflow of obtained images and automated flight were presented with respect to capabilities of available software. The flight plans were created by using Pix4DCapture software with android based cell phone. The results indicated that high-resolution imagery obtained by drone can provide significant data for assessment of forest resources, forest roads, and stream channels.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessForestryRemote sensingDroneMonitoring and assessmentConference Object10.5194/isprs-archives-XLII-4-W6-51-201742-4W65153WOS:000568780700012N/AN/A
