Just a quick hello from me, my name is Darren.
I have had a drone (Mavic Pro) for about 8 years and have hardly flown it.
We have just purchased the Elios 3 drone for work, fingers crossed I will get to survey a few culverts with it.

Hi Aiken. This drone is designed for confined spaces, and the cage is designed for when you hit the roof or wall of the culvert.

Can’t imagine the cost of that thing, I would be too nervous to fly. I’m on the mini 3 dji at the moment to get started and even with that I’m glad I’m on here getting as much advice and tips as I can. I don’t suppose in worst case scenarios they is people or companys out there that can fixed crashed drones is there?
