The team at Dronefly pride ourselves on excellent customer service and top of the line products. The more compact and detailed the project requirements the closer to the ground Phantom needs to fly as the camera is integrated and image pixel size naturally increases with height. Below, Justin Russell, head surveyor at Fiore and Sons, describes how he’s reallocated his time after successfully adopting PPK drone surveying. Surveyors were caught in a stalemate with their data collection methodology, a battle they conceded to out of necessity.

The WingtraOne has a high-quality glass fiber airframe featuring replaceable side stands and a middle stand. As a ground station, you get a Samsung Tab Active 2, which passed military spec testing for 21 environmental conditions, including temperature, dust, shock/vibration and extreme pressures.
