About the Drones we use…
The current drone’s of choice are the DJI Range.
Safety is paramount, with current drone technology improving rapidly you no longer need a large heavy drone to achieve professional results. Our main drone for inspection work is the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise Thermal and the brand new Mavic 3 Pro with its three camera set up for videography work. this new generation of smaller Mavic 3 series drones are exceptionally powerful.
The Mavic 3 Enterprise Thermal – used for high quality inspection, mapping and Thermal imagery
Small enough to be discreet yet powerful enough to get the job done!
The Mavic 3T (Thermal) uses a 48MP RGB sensor and the same thermal imaging unit as the larger Matrice 30T (used by many forces) but is small enough to be used internally as a hand held device enabling deeper thermal inspection.
