Other equipment

Telescopic mast

When drone flight is not possible or is not the most suitable method, we use a 16 meter telescopic mast, which can be equipped with, among other things, thermal camera Flir A655sc and a visual system camera. The mast can be mounted on a car or tripod. 

Remote controlled boat

To collect images or other data from the surface of the water, we use a 2.5 meter long remotely operated boat that can be equipped based on need with up to 60 kg of cargo.
