UAS-Enabled Solutions for Bridge Inspection


Skydio

Skydio 2 offers the ultimate in high precision, low latency control and worry-free, high speed manual flight with full obstacle avoidance in every direction. It allows to capture remote vistas by extending your flight range up to 3.5 km. and get the shots with Controller-driven cinematic skills. It provides stunning 4K60 HDR camera that is meticulously perfected around Sony's IMX577 sensor and the RedDragon™ QCS605, that enable it to offer 4K video up to 60fps with HDR. Skydio 2 also features a dedicated photo mode for capturing 12MP HDR photos for a variety of shooting options, including single, interval and more. It also offers the Skydio 2 app that delivers the easiest and most intuitive flight experience ever. It also provides access to a rich and growing library of cinematic skills and integrated street and satellite maps for long-range missions and flight control and enables quick download of photos and video clips can be saved straight to phones for instant sharing.
