Deliverables
What you get back
Inspection images
Close-ups tied to location.
More
Geotagged photos and zoom frames organized by structure or route.
Digital twin
A model of the asset as it stands.
More
Point clouds, meshes or Gaussian splats you can measure, share and revisit.
Point cloud
Measured 3D points.
More
From lidar or photogrammetry. DJI Terra exports PNTS, LAS, PLY, PCD and S3MB; Wingtra software exports LAS or CSV.
Orthomosaic
A true-scale, measurable map image.
More
Distortion-corrected, georeferenced imagery for measuring distances and areas. Typically delivered as GeoTIFF.

- Repair bench in Akron, Ohio, with a free estimate, for the drones we service.
- Warranty help: we coordinate manufacturer service for the rest of your kit.
Does a drone replace a tower climb?
It reduces climbs for visual audits. Hands-on work still needs qualified climbers.
What about RF near antennas?
Follow the carrier’s RF safety and standoff rules. Plan routes with the site owner.
Matrice 4E or Matrice 400?
The Matrice 4E is compact and quick. The Matrice 400 carries heavier payloads such as the Zenmuse L2 or P1.
Can we model the whole tower?
Yes. Orbit imagery or lidar becomes a 3D model in DJI Terra.
Do you build kits for tower crews?
Yes: aircraft, batteries, cases and spares, set up around your crew.
