Description
The DJI Matrice 600 Pro features a six-rotor propulsion system and has a max take off weight of 15.5 kg. It supports heavy payloads (approx. 6 kg) with up to 30+ minutes flight time. It is equipped with two interchangeable gimbals, each supports a co-aligned imaging system.
The first gimbal supports the coaligned Hyperspectral and Lidar sensor system is the Nano-Hyperspec from Headwall photonics. The wavelength range is 400nm-1000nm with 270 spectral bands. It collects 640 spatial pixels along the slit and the 2D spatial image is achieved through the motion of the UAV in a 'push broom' fashion. The system can be positioned to either scan the ground or a facade.
The second gimbal supports the FLIR duo pro R system with a 640x512 pixels thermal imager co-aligned with a 4K colour camera. The wavelength range is spans the visible and the 7.5 – 13.5 µm spectral band.
