The Hoodman HGCP15 Ground Control Point Kit consists of five round Ground Control Points numbered 1 to 5. Each marker has a diameter of 3 ft or approximately 91.4 cm and deploys quickly into its operational shape thanks to its self-tensioning construction.
The set is designed for professional applications in drone surveying, photogrammetry, aerial surveying, and drone mapping. Clearly visible Ground Control Points support precise referencing and evaluation of aerial imagery.
The Ground Control Points are made of durable polyester and feature a perimeter galvanized steel cable. The weighted outer edge keeps the markers in position on the ground without necessarily requiring stakes to be driven in for normal use.
For longer-term positioning, each GCP additionally has four anchor loops. These can be used, for example, when animals or other external factors might displace the deployed markers.
24-inch scaling markers are integrated into the pattern of each Ground Control Point. These serve as a defined size reference when subsequently evaluating the captured image data.
A central grommet enables the accurate placement of a survey rod at the center of the marker, supporting the precise capture of GPS coordinates.

- Photogrammetry
- Aerial surveying
- Georeferencing of aerial imagery
- Surveying and documentation projects
- Capturing precise GPS reference points
All five Ground Control Points weigh approximately 22 lb or around 10 kg combined and can be transported compactly in the included carry bag with shoulder strap.
Cleaning is done with mild soap and water. Before storing in the carry bag, the markers should be completely dry to prevent the formation of mold.

Questions & Answers▲
How many Ground Control Points are included in the Hoodman HGCP15?
The Hoodman HGCP15 kit includes five Ground Control Points numbered 1 through 5. Each marker has a diameter of 3 ft or approximately 91.4 cm.
What applications is the Hoodman HGCP15 suitable for?
The HGCP15 is designed for drone surveying, photogrammetry, drone mapping, aerial surveying, and other surveying and documentation projects that require clearly visible reference points on the ground.
Do the Hoodman Ground Control Points need to be secured with stakes?
In normal use, additional securing is not strictly necessary. The weighted outer edge helps keep the markers in position. For longer-term placement, four securing loops are available on each Ground Control Point.
What are the 24-inch markings on the Ground Control Points for?
24-inch scaling markings are integrated into the pattern of each Ground Control Point. They provide a defined size reference within the marker and can be used when evaluating and referencing survey and aerial imaging data.
How can the GPS coordinates of a Ground Control Point be determined precisely?
Each Ground Control Point has an eyelet at the center of the marker. A surveying rod can be positioned there, allowing GPS coordinates to be captured directly at the center of the reference point.
What is the difference between the HGCP15 and a kit numbered 6 through 10?
The HGCP15 includes five Ground Control Points numbered 1 through 5. Hoodman also offers the same numbered markers as a set numbered 6 through 10. This allows multiple uniquely numbered Ground Control Points to be used in larger projects.
