Night operations push your skills. You rely less on visual cues and more on sensors, maps, and preparation. Every time I run a night flight, I’m reminded how much sharper and more disciplined it makes you as a pilot. It’s not easy—but it’s worth it. Why Fly at Night? Night missions with thermal drones offer […]
Unlock better yields, targeted inputs, and real-time crop insigts with NDVI drone technology. What’s a Multispectral Drone Anyway? The DJI Mavic 3M is what’s called a multispectral drone, which means it carries multiple cameras that each capture different “bands” or layers of light—not just what the eye can see. One of the most useful outputs […]
. When we’re out in the field talking tech with growers, we’re not just showing off shiny gear — we’re introducing tools that can transform how they manage their land. Today’s topic? A drone that’s as smart as it is airborne. Welcome to ‘On the Bench’ — CIRTA’s New Segment We kicked off a new […]
Every tool has a story — and for us at CIRTA Infrared Thermography, that story started with a humble Mavic Pro. Picked up back in 2018, it was a solid little unit used for filming weddings, experimenting with drone footage, and learning the ropes of aerial imaging. It’s still going strong, surprisingly — a testament […]
On a bright, sunny day — ideal conditions for thermal imaging — we headed out to a commercial site to carry out a full solar panel and roof assessment using drone-mounted infrared thermography. Why Combine Thermal Imaging with Aerial Inspection? Thermal drone inspections allow us to capture high-resolution infrared data across multiple roof surfaces, detecting […]
Thermal imaging using drones has become an essential tool for inspecting solar farms. By using advanced infrared cameras, technicians can detect heat anomalies that indicate faults, inefficiencies, or potential damage within solar panels. This process is vital for maintaining peak performance and preventing costly downtime. Why Use Thermal Imaging? Solar panels can develop faults over […]
