Our craft of for the LIDAR was the DJI Matrice 600 with an A3 Pro upgrade. The six motor and six battery capability provides the craft with high levels of redundancy. This is essential when operatin a $120k piece of technology. Additionally, the open-source payload functionality of up to 6kg is necessary to mount the unit? whilst still maintaining sufficient flight times for data collection. A DJI Phantom 4 Pro was also brought along to compare the accuracy and efficiency of aerial photogrammetry versus laser imaging.
