Hi Guys

I looking to find a drone solution for wind-turbine inspection (mainly blades), where is possible to use optical imaging (high resolution), thermal pictures and Lidar at the same time. I am also looking for a solution, where it is possible to fully automate the inspection (as much as possible, eg. sterblue).

Which setup would you guys go for?

Thanks in advance

Andreas

Go for a Matrice 210 or 200. Get some blade guards and maybe the RTK kit. There also is the Mavic 2 enterprise which is a little bit cheaper and smaller. This drone is super resisitant to magnetic interfernece, weather/wind proof, and has a good battery life. The Inspire 2 series is also good but not super magnetic resistant. You can also mount up to three cameras on the Matrice 200/210 series and a thermal camera. It also has SDK capabilities. About automated solutions. There is Pix4d and Dji GS Pro for iPads. These apps are both semi-automatic. Make sure you have an iPad Pro 2nd gen or newer, iPad 6 or newer, iPad air 3, or iPad Mini 5. They are pretty speed hoggy.
