Drone Equipment Fleet
UAV Imaging operates a focused fleet matched to industrial inspection, mapping and confined-space work across Alberta. Every aircraft is Remote ID compliant for the November 2026 mandate and pilot-flown by Transport Canada Advanced RPAS holders carrying $5M aviation liability.
Aircraft
DJI Matrice 300 RTK
Primary industrial platform. 55-minute flight time, IP45 weather sealing, RTK GNSS, -20°C cold rating, 15 m/s wind tolerance, dual-payload bay. Carries H20T (4K + 1200mm zoom + radiometric thermal + laser rangefinder), Pergam Falcon methane sensor, or L1 LiDAR. Full specs ›
DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise
Rapid-deploy aircraft for inspection and survey work in tight access sites. 4/3 CMOS sensor, 56x hybrid zoom, optional RTK module, 45-minute flight time, 5.1K cinema video. Full specs ›
Flyability Elios 2
Collision-tolerant confined-space drone — the only platform in the fleet purpose-built to fly inside tanks, sewers, mine shafts, and pressure vessels. Carbon-fibre protective cage, 4K + thermal, no GPS dependency. See drone confined space inspection services.
Sensors + payloads
DJI Zenmuse H20T
Standard payload on the Matrice 300. Quad-sensor gimbal: 20 MP zoom (23-1200mm equivalent, 200x hybrid), 12 MP wide, radiometric thermal (640x512, ±2°C), laser rangefinder (3-1200 m, ±0.2 m).
Pergam Falcon
Laser-based methane detector. Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS). Sensitivity in ppm-m. Operated on the Matrice 300 for natural gas distribution line and pipeline leak detection.
