Should you use an enterprise drone like Matrice 210 RTK V2 for electrical switch-yard inspections?
Today’s show is about using drones for electrical switch-yard inspections. We do an in-depth comparison of the Phantom 4, DJI Inspire and Matrice 210 to reveal the best option for you.
Our caller for today, Skylar, is thinking of flying the Matrice 210 RTK V2 for electrical switch-yard inspections. Such a job requires a drone capable of withstanding interference and a powerful camera to go with it. In the past, we have reported that the Phantom 4 Pro is better for flying in an interference heavy-environment compared to the Matrice 200. But what about the Matrice 210 RTK V2?
In today’s show, listeners will learn the many benefits of using the DJI Inspire over the Matrice 210 and Matrice 200. We also reveal whether drone cameras as the X7 and Z3 are suitable for electrical switch-yard inspections. Thanks for the great question, Skylar. Fly Safe!
