Hi mate! I've read all your comments and stopped being an account-less lurker to comment on this thread.

  1. How long can the drones be up in the air before coming down for recharging?
  2. What's the area covered in that time?
  3. Do they fly via GPS or are they controlled by a land pilot?
  4. Can the camera be replaced or is it embbeded? (ie if I want to use a normal or UV camera)
  5. I read the price per drone is ~12.5k USD does that include infrared camera, software, controls and extras?
  6. What's the breaking point for this technology being worth the money? for example >100 acres or >500 acres? (that is, the benefits pay for the costs and break even)

I have many more questions, but I don't wanna overwhelm you haha

Thanks for answering all the questions, you are great! Ok, some more!!

  1. How do you deal with the stops after the battery is depleted. Does the drone know that it's battery is running low and then goes back to your position?
  2. Also, I assume you have spare batteries already charged, but how long does it take you to fully charge one? Also, does the drone pick it up from where he left off before coming back for power?
  3. What happens if the drone goes down for whatever reason, do you have a GPS locator to know where it went down?
  4. Does this only work in sunny no wind conditions?
  5. If you spend a whole day doing this, how many acres do you think you could cover? (let's assume it's sunny and wind is low)
  6. Will one pass of the drone be enough or do you sometimes need to do re runs? And if you do, do you realise this at the time of tacking the pictures or when you are back at your computer compiling?

Thanks again for answering all of these. I think this technology is amazing and I can't wait for it to grow even more
