• Providing safety to the drone along with human and equipment safety.

Outcomes

• Easy to fly and a robust piece of kit.
• The cage allows drones to fly closer and improves the photographic resolution and quality in remote and difficult-to-access areas.
• Quick and easy measurements of internals and infrastructures.
• Generation of photographic quality 3D models.
• Less intrusive way of collecting data from unapproachable locations
