DJI Zenmuse L1; LiDAR Survey Made Easy
For a multitude of reasons, DJI’s first Livox LiDAR payload — the Zenmuse L1, is gaining a lot of traction among drone professionals. First of all, the DJI Zenmuse L1 incorporates the powers of both laser and visible light; this payload can simultaneously capture both LiDAR and Photogrammetry data. L1 is well known for capturing ‘accuracy’ by integrating a Livox LiDAR module, a high-accuracy IMU, a survey-grade camera, and additionally, it comes with a 3-axis stabilized gimbal. Well, not just that, there is a lot more to explore on this unparalleled player in the Drone-based solutions!
Applications of Drones in the Energy Sector
Drones seem to be everywhere— inspecting telecom towers, surveying land, assessing power lines, inspecting solar power plants, and more. But, why are drones so prevalent? The answer would be ‘why should we compromise our Time, Money, and Energy, on less accurate and inefficient data when there is an unparalleled alternative that does the job way better?’ Yes, it is as simple as that!
Why You Should Consider Drone Powerline Inspections?
While integrating a new system into current workflows may seem like a headache right now, the benefits quickly make up the difference and then some more. For example, the traditional inspection methods are time-consuming, expensive, and out-of-date. Read more on the downsides of traditional powerline inspections here. In this article, we’ll be exploring the Drone Powerline Inspections – why drones are the superior choice.
Confessions of a Drone Professional: Why We Love the M300 RTK
There is no doubt that DJI’s Matrice 300 RTK has set a new standard for the commercial drone industry. With its array of purposeful and powerful features combined with a robust build, you’d be hard-pressed to find better. However, this isn’t an article where we discuss the features of the M300 RTK — there are plenty of those already; in this article, we will be discussing why the pilots at FEDS-drone Powered Solutions love working with this powerful drone system.
Smarter, Safer & More Powerful – Exploring DJI Mavic 3
The much anticipated Mavic 3 and Mavic 3 CINE have just launched, and it is positively the prosumer drone to dethrone them all. DJI builds on the features that were great about the Mavic 2 and made it better in the Mavic 3 while somehow maintaining the size and (even reducing) the drone’s weight. So let’s take a look at what makes the DJI Mavic 3 a must-have.
Drone Solar Inspections with DJI M300 RTK
Today’s solar panels are built to last decades- however, longevity and production efficiency are not interlinked. Using three DJI M300 RTKs, each equipped with the Zenmuse H20T, the FEDS Team collected data at the rate of 2,200 panels per day. With the 55min flight time and improved accuracy thanks to RTK, we collected data of the entire solar farm in just five days. Let’s explore on improving operations with Drone Solar Inspections powered by DJI M300 RTK.
How to get a Commercial UAE Drone Permit
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles or drones are rapidly growing in popularity for their widespread commercial applications. In the UAE especially, drones have become increasingly lucrative to many industries. The UAE’s proactive approach to the adoption of smart technologies has springboarded drones into major industries such as Power & Utilities, Construction, Oil & Gas and Agriculture. Let’s see how to get the UAE drone permit.
Intuitive Indoor Inspection using Flyability Elios 2
Companies are using indoor drones to significantly reduce injuries and fatalities during internal inspections. Here’s how they’re doing it. In addition to savings, safety is one of the biggest benefits to using indoor drones for internal inspections. Flyability Elios 2 is the most intuitive, reliable, and precise indoor inspection drone.

Construction Progress Monitoring: How can I improve my Business?
Rework in construction typically costs about 5% of the overall contract value. And the time overruns are worse, at roughly 7.1% of total work hours. These overruns impact relationships between trade contractors, general contractors, and owners, which makes it crucial to reduce and avoid rework. Drone and Crane Camera progress monitoring can reduce the rework by 20-25% by bringing real-time as-build data to help contractors identify a conflict in project designs and avoid unnecessary rework.
DJI Phantom 4 RTK Mapping: Visionary Intelligence, Elevated Accuracy
DJI Phantom 4 RTK is a godsend for surveyors working in cities or on small to medium-sized fields. The drone’s small frame, combined with its simple workflow, makes it incredibly simple to integrate into your workflow.
Come join in the conversation with industry veteran Scott Henderson Head of Sales at The Drone Centre, as he explores DJI’s Phantom 4RTK and how you can use it to monitor your construction sites.
