The Skydio X10 with either the VT300-Z or  VT300-L sensor can meet the data requirements quickly and efficiently. 

Equipment

Drone: Skydio X10
Camera: VT300-Z, VT300-L
Computer: Skydio Smart Controller
Flight Planning Software: Skydio Map Capture

Note: The altitudes listed above are based on Ground Sample Distance and may be higher than FAA Part 107 Regulations allow. Please follow all applicable regulations including altitude restrictions when operating under FAA Part 107 Regulations.

Sensor Heading

For both IR and RGB inspection-level imagery sets, sensor heading must remain fixed throughout the flight. For example, if flying a fixed-tilt, ground mount site with panels facing south, the sensor should face North throughout the flight. Datasets, where sensor heading alternates with each flight pass (sensor faces North one flight pass and South on the next flight pass), will warrant a reflight.

Image Capture

Front Overlap Ratio: 70%
