Looking to use the 3d imagery to calculate volume that is a pile.  Such as a gravel piles, chip piles, or even log yard inventories.

how can you calculate cut/fill with imagery? 

I would think you would need Lidar or some sort of B.E., not imagery ? (and also need a Before and after).

I use dronedeploy for planning my missions, but obviously process in D2M. I would love it to have the ability to calculate volumes simply within D2M.

I have used the volume calculation to check the volume of a dirt pile. It works very fast and easy.

I am looking for a similar tool with ArcGIs Pro 2.X.  does anyone know what the tool would be?

In ArcGIS Pro you can use Cut Fill—Help | ArcGIS Desktop . 

In Drone2Map use Calculate Volume, see Measure—Drone2Map for ArcGIS Help | ArcGIS . See note:

Drone2Map uses your ArcGIS Desktop framework to perform the volumetric calculation. To run the Calculate Volume tool, you must have ArcGIS Pro with 3D Analyst 1.3 or later

That is a little too complicated.  Any work on ArcGIS Pro 2.1 on Volume Calculation for a basic tool like the one in D2M?
