Hello All...
On my way to work this morning I spotted an interesting drone...
Flying over a electrical power grid station I spotted what I thought was a Typhoon H.
Legs Up and saw the camera rotating.
I turned around and pulled into the road to the station and watched the drone flying over the wires and banks of transformers in the fenced in area.
I then noticed two men in hard hats and neon vests watching the drone.
I walked over to them and watched them pilot the drone and saw they each had a DJI controller
with large Ipads.
They then landed the largest drone I have ever seen!
It was like a Typhoon H that was triple in size to the H.
On the ground it came up to just above one of the men's knees.
The gimble below it had two large format camera attached, side by side.
On the top of the drone it had two large antennas, one straight and one domed.
It also had two straight antennas sticking out the bottom, one on each side.
The props looked to be about 12 inches long and the wing span looked to be 5-6 feet across.
I wish I hadn't left my camera in the car so I could take a photo of the thing !
I talked to the men for a couple of minutes and they told me the where doing inspection work for the electrical company and the cameras where Video and thermal, and the range of the drone was over three miles and they used it for power line inspections and tower inspections.
They also said that the flight time was about one hour !
I also noticed that the drone was surprisingly quiet for such a large drone.
Would anyone have any Idea what brand of drone this could have been?
I looked on the DJI and Yuneec websites and did not see anything they had this big !
Thanks !
