Sweet!!! That pairing of the DJI drone and the cheaper lidar device is a real money saver!

[@ErickChotara]

Just awesome, I am sure it will be able to hold up in a more challenging environment. Splendid work Harrison.

[@princelarteylawson3267]

Dammn Harrison, This solves a lot of my headaches. Well Done

[@kaelfors]

That is just beautiful!

[@erictreadwell-geotread-1574]

Hi, Great work guys, I really like what you're working on, great vid.

[@IndianaDrones]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@makurnianto8781]

Oh man, that's awesome stuff. Can't wait for high wind resistant and other tests

[@IndianaDrones]

You and me both!

[@bduverneuil]

This is phenomenal! Curious to see how it performs in more challenging weather conditions as well as in high-altitude environments. Nevertheless, this is amazing!

[@marcovasquezii4627]

I was just doing my engineering semester project on this exact concept with the DJI Inspire 2, wondering how well it scans from 10-100m elevation and how detailed the LiDAR scans are, looking forward to more of this content!

[@RickMarshallMaps]

Thanks for another great video. Bringing LiDAR at a cost many more people/municipalities can use

[@livus360visuals6]

amazing video, It's the 3rd time I watch it in 6 months.

Very cool, its a shame the Inspire didn't have a lidar payload before. Glad to see your invitation!

[@IAmDanTheMan1]

WOW, absolutely awesome. if can capture imagery at the same time and marry them up, that would be sick.

Glad I found this channel! I'm from Indiana as well! Would love to collab somehow or get you guys on my productions

[@benoit1243]

Hello, thanks for this video but how do you power the livox mid 40? What type of battery do you use? Thank you in advance for your answers

[@gavin8535]

Why isn't the main body part ascend above the four propellers while flying? Nice work!

[@augustoc.romero1130]

I'm a total noob when it comes to this thing, but my idea is to use a similar set up for amateur archeology. Do you think this lidar is strong enough to detect thing a few meters below ground?

[@-heyitsmebryan-]

Very cool stuff. Quick question... Can LIDAR be used to find a metal object in the canopy of trees? Say someone lost a drone in the woods and it went down due to complete battery failure. So there is no tracking it... would you be able to see it with a LIDAR scan?

[@IndianaDrones]

Bryan... did you lose a drone in the woods...

[@-heyitsmebryan-]

@@IndianaDrones maybe.... 😇

[@SzotJoker]

👍👍👍

[@tomlem3173]

What lidar specifically do You use?

[@eqbviewllc7111]

congrats . . . well done video ~

[@eqbviewllc7111]

IF the legs are not showing in the data, I would just fly legs down . . . more stable (actually faster in straight line) and one less thing that could go wrong. As for the antenna, I agree something on the front cowling would be good . . . maybe directly over the lidar if it lines up. You could actually design and replace the front nose piece and make the shelf built in.

[@IndianaDrones]

I broke the worm drive for the retracting landing gear :D But that happened last summer :D :D hahaha.

[@IndianaDrones]

I can use some help with the GPS mount!

[@sergebelair7577]

Hi I have been flying drones since 2016 and I am interested in mapping and your Lidar. but since i'm new to this market does it take a long training to pay off. Serge from Quebec Canada

It’s going to change so many things for sure.

[@agotthecat3690]

Hi sir, what the name of the software you use to show the lidar image on your laptop?

[@elijahtitone1500]

Do you need any special license or waiver other than a part 107 to fly in the us?

[@billgrafeman226]

Maybe the new bn55 batteries on it will give longer survey time.

[@TheDmisky]

Hi, nice work! What is the price for R1A?

[@routine8]

It's $30,000! What's the point of flying a cheap drone with a pricey Lidar?

[@francescomazzucco6264]

@@routine8 cost?

[@MathPhilosophyLab]

Would be interested to see a comparison to the Zenmuse L1.. And price comparison. Nice work.

[@IndianaDrones]

Thanks Jax! We are working on that 😉

[@eturn23]

Did you power the lidar off the drone's batteries? Would have been nice if you showed how you mounted / connected the lidar to the Inspire.

[@IndianaDrones]

Thanks for your feedback! Feel free to bring your questions and requests over to the ROCK Robotic Community discussion board. Our support team is ready to answer your questions. community.rockrobotic.com/

[@nimeshgunjal]

Kudos to your Team Brother. Can we put it on this LIDAR sensor INSPIRE 1 also? I have 2 INSPIRE 1. I am curious about it. How much it weigh?

[@nozty]

I'm very curious if it works on an inspire 1 as well.

[@josefernandoavalosrodrigue8339]

Donde puedo conseguir o comprar ese lidar. Gracias saludos desde Perú.

[@jcjensenllc]

What is the lidar data used for?

[@pewebhost]

How many acres can you cover in the 15min of flight time? Can I get more info about the Lidar sensor used?

[@Jeffmackens]

Interesting... can the LIDAR detect poles??

[@IndianaDrones]

This mission was a terrain following mission with a lot of elevation gain. I would say flat area 15 min flight time ~25 acres per flight. Heavy terrain will drop it to 15. Overlap is important too... Flat and farm land (10% overlap) maybe 35 acres per bat

[@anujregmi4582]

Do you guys sell that and if so what is the cost of the total package?

[@bkenny02]

What flight time did you get and unrelated question will your lidar work with m210 rtk?

[@IndianaDrones]

15 minute and 45 second, and thats with terrain following and landing at 18% reserve battery!

[@bkenny02]

@@IndianaDrones thanks love following all the prgression, will that payload also work on 210rtk?

[@JV-gi1hs]

Can you do it with phantom versions?

[@clipikt]

Will it work on Inspiere 1 pro as well? what is the payload of the lidar? Thanks!

[@gerardofaustin8156]

How much is that LiDAR sensor going to cost with the drone and the batteries? Also how many hectors are acres did you get to scan with it within the 15 minutes?

[@AddFilmmedia]

Is the lidar suspended on a gimbal or is it attached to the drone body?

[@IndianaDrones]

Yeah, it's on the vibration isolator connected to the skyport

[@Mikeofmanyhats]

Awesome video! I think I’ll be requesting a quote soonish for hardware. I’ve got some 3D modeling experience and a 3D printer and would be down for a collaboration! I’d also love to pick your brain about the business aspect of drone based lidar. Thanks!

[@The1KMnO4]

Do you have to be on the net to process data? Or can we be off grid to collect and process data?

[@IndianaDrones]

Off grid works :)

[@shawnweatherspoon9893]

I’m curious if you removed vegetation from the map if this could be used for search and rescue applications with a thick canopy? Can you see people generated on the image?

[@IndianaDrones]

People don't show up very well with LiDAR scans.

[@antoniodarrell3229]

Why are the arms not extending (not switching to flight mode)

[@Alphonsus01]

What IMU do you use?

[@kenelrich5013]

Can I do this with my Inspire 1 pro? and make it affordable? DJI is at 20K with the L1

Where can I buy the LiDAR sensor?

[@jameslloyd7406]

You're nuts pushing that thing around, if it flipped it could take your hand off or sever your carotid artery. and like many asked why does the landing gear not retract like on a usual mission ? BTW i just got a quote for the m300 r2a package from rock. Thanks for the info.

[@zecaferraz8645]

Does anyone knows if I can fly an Inspire V1 with the lidar Livox Mid-40? Are those 2 compatible?

[@kunalaher1026]

Can we install this LiDAR it on inspire 1?

[@routine8]

How about LiVox on the Inspire 2? That would be truly affordable.

hi dear Friend , What is the name and model of lidar sensor? which brand do you have ?

[@IndianaDrones]

LiDAR - ROCK Robotic R2A www.rockrobotic.com/r2a

[@964cuplove]

The fuss about it carrying a certain weight is a bit silly, you could have tested that with a dead weight.... let’s see the lidar working and explain how you assemble the measurements over the flight... what’s the sensor you carry,? Range ? Specs ?

[@HugoSanchez-qq2oh]

Visually the data looks amazing but you did not go over the precision of the actual measurements that where taking by the LiDAR. Also I’m not sure how efficient and scalable this drone set up is. I know flight time will be reduced due to the added payload. Please make another video going over if it is a realistic setup to use on the job, thanks!

You have to add RTK to the drone too. You can't just by an inspire and a LiDAR you have to know something about how to mod your drone with RTK.

[@IndianaDrones]

Make sure you check out my newer videos, as these ones are dated.

[@2002Fina]

I went to your website and looked at the lidar equipment. It works with the Matrice and other drones. You do not have it listed with the inspire 2. So it's not recommended to use with the I2?
