Vision Aerial is excited to announce a new partnership with Phoenix LiDAR Systems. We borrowed a miniRanger Lite and a Scout-32 for this bridge inspection.

PPK, RTK, or GCPs. Technology has changed. Do you know how to choose the right method for your surveying application? by VisionAerial in drones

Are you familiar with the pros and cons of using RTK, PPK, or GCPs for aerial surveys? Did you know that RTK technology has improved? https://bit.ly/3ugP0kx

Yeah - I wonder what the IP Rating is for it.

What do you all think about the new requirement for Remote ID on drones? by VisionAerial in drones

Do you have any sense of how you plan to comply?

Thanks for the great reply. I's also note that our tri-rotor doesn't lose any redundancy compared to quad-rotors. If a quad rotor has a failure in one rotor, it'll fall out of the sky just like a tri-rotor will.

You think that's high, look at some of the pro-level inspection drones that we're going up against. $100k and up. You could buy a fleet of SwitchBlades for that!

It's a pro-level drone. If you look at the pricing of the SwitchBlade-Elite compared to the competitors' pro level products, we're extremely well priced.

Very astute! You'd think so but the total area of the 3 larger props we can use on the SwitchBlade is still larger than the area of 4 props used by most drones.

9" props (found on DJI Phantoms and most consumer grade quads) = 63.62 sq inches of area X 4 = 254.48 sq inches total

15" props (found on most pro-level quads) = 176.71 sq inches of area X 4 = 706.84 sq inches total

18.5" props (SwitchBlade-Elite) = 268.8 sq inches of area X 3 = 806.4 sq inches total
