Montana Drone Company helped out the Ohio software company called Cattle Quants to perform a number of autonomous drone flights over central MT ranches to acquire both regular RGB images along with thermal captures. The XT2 comes with both a FLIR Tau 2 thermal sensor and 4K visual camera with DJI’s leading stabilization and machine intelligence technology, to easily allow aerial data to be collected and turned into powerful insights. The DJI Matrice 300 is a larger industrial / commercial drone which can be connected to a large number of various cameras depending on the mission objective. Two batteries help power this UAV model which provides a flight time of 40 minutes. The Matrice 300 has a wind speed rating of 33 mph which was well tested during the ranch flights in Wheatland County.
