[UAS] Suggestions for Drone to carry modern sensors?

[French, Andrew]

Wim, we have the FLIR Vue Pro R... and we have to have radiometric output data, it seems that the XT has a software problem and wont output full resolution tiff data (instead outputs color jpg's)  when integrated with some DJIs per report from Phoenix Drone Service, who also reports that DJI disinclined to fix the software limitation. This is third hand information, but a big concern if correct. The FLIR purportedly integrates easily with Pixhawk, but unknown to me how to integrate with DJI flight controllers. -Andy French

Hi Everyone:

I've been looking at the Matrice 200 series. A little lighter than the Matrice 600. The Zenmuze XT  thermal camera should integrate seamlessly with a Matrice 210 (RTK gets expensive)). I have no experience with this Matrice 210 system though. What thermal camera do you have?
Best,  Wim

I have the DJI inspire 2, which is the same form factor as the inspire I, but more capable and upgraded with all the latest tech (like the Matrice 600 would be). Without knowing what the geo-referencing problem is, I would assume that integrating with the Inspire 2 and the Matrice would be similar for non-DJI sensors. The inspire II would be cheaper and have a shorter flight time.

Hi Everyone,



The Yuma Center of Excellence for Desert Agriculture is wanting to purchase a new drone that will be capable of integrating well with the latest sensor equipment.  For example, our DJI Inspire 1 is not geo-referencing well with a new thermal imager.  We are considering the Matrice 600.



In your watercooler discussions and experience, what is the best option now to carry us into the future?  If you could answer in the next day or two that would be great.



Thanks,



Paul Brierley
