The post whore thread.

How close does the scanner need to be to whatever it is scanning in order to get a useful reading?

From the equipment I have seen you can fly about 6-15' out (thermal camera) and get a really detailed Image. Let me try to find my link sheet on it and post some links up

The reason I ask is that if you don't have to be super close, then you can probably get most of the data from the edge of a ladder.

Here's the DJI version

Flying in first person view you wouldn't even need the ladder. The downfall of flying in fpv is the faa requires a spotter (copilot) and even then you can't fly out of your spotters view.

And registration and I believe they are working on a UAV pilots test but that might be just rumor.

The whole other use is property areal shots and night hunting

That's pretty cool. Drones are pretty impressive, and even though they're very popular right now, I think the potential is just barely beginning to be tapped. Flir is badass as usual.

Well, I meant that with the ladder, you wouldn't even need the drone. There are some roofs out there that a drone would be great for though, and they should charge for it as well.
