PRODRONE Unveils the Hi-Res Surveyor Drone

Nagoya-JAPAN, September 6, 2017- PRODRONE is pleased to announce it has developed the PD8-AW-HR, a surveyor drone equipped with high-Res Camera. PRODRONE showcases the new model at its booth at InterDrone 2017, to be held September 6-8, 2017 in Las Vegas.

Fitted with an ultra-high resolution camera, the Canon PD8-AW-HR sends back clear images to the operator live. This means dangerous tasks, such as the inspection of high-voltage power lines, can now be done with ease.

Such inspections were once expensive operations. Helicopters were required to get an eye-level view, or workers had to actually climb up. Our drones not only complete the task with increased safety, but they also provide a reduction in operating costs.

The PD8-AW-HR can fly along a predetermined course automatically.With superior image recognition technology, it can also move in a vertically curved flight path, maintaining a parallel position with electric wires as they sink and rise between towers. This ensures that every inch of the wires are monitored with precision.

Of course, not only does the drone provide high-resolution images, but it also records the exact position they are taken, enabling any points requiring maintenance to be located afterwards with ease.
PRODRONE helps to create a safe and cozy environment in which to work, while also providing logistic support to the lives of many people.
