Hello from Alberta.

For those type of gas detections it should be no problem to use a laser detector like the U10 or Falcon and fly a grid pattern eliminating areas like you would in a search and rescue operation. Good luck. If you need a hand let me know.

Once you understand gas plumbs or clouds you can determine what you will need for an overlap. The laser beam only covers a small area of about 2-3 cm, but the gas will occupy an area over several meters or more. This is what gives the accuracy of detection. Where are you located?

I do methane leak detection with a drone. I have done this since 2016. I generally do pipeline right of way patrols, but to do a specific area wouldn’t be a problem. I am located in Alberta. www.currentsurveillance.ca.

I have had three of the Enterprise Maintenance Services. I own 2 Matrice 300s. Two were routine maintenance, there was an upper fan disfunction, and rather than pull it apart myself it got replaced under the maintenance program. The other was a deep cleaning and there was some repairs due to a...

No troubles, thanks for the reply. I have modified a couple myself previously.

Sorry for my ignorance, but I am not sure how to PM from this site. Anyway, I am interested in your remote control and signal amplifier. I do run alientech antenna boosters now. The only concern of shipping to Alberta, Canada, T0E 0T0. UPS, Purolator, or USPS will work for me. If you would...

Does this remote work as it should? Where are you located?

Yes, my practice is to always have at least one spare set fully charged when I install the second last set of charged batteries. If I don’t, I purchase more batteries, and/or get more chargers. Another thing I have noticed is that the motors on the aircraft stay at a pretty stable temperature...

I know the proper protocol for battery usage as far as the manual is concerned, however... When I fly, I am generally running for the maximum hours a day will allow, (dawn until dusk, up here in June about 04:30- 22:00). I am probably one of the worst on battery abuse there is. I have two charge...

Yes, that is correct.

Yes, I think you understand. My terminology may be a bit vague. The unlock request is with DJI Flysafe for the duration of the authorization and SFOC. I usually get them for a year. When I fly in one of these zones I am then able to unlock from my device (yes, turn them on from my list). Similar...

Yes. I make a request amd state I will be flying in these areas multiple times. They usually give me an unlock that is referenced in my geo-zone unlock and I can do it right on the tablet I use to fly with. That way I don’t have a specific area or radius that prohibits me from flying out of that...

I use it when I have to fly in a authorization zone multiple times in a year. I send the authorization approval with the unlock request (attach the document to the request) and request it to be open until the document expires.

Exactly what happens. If you have a geo-fence authorization turned on you cannot fly in any other areas. It is better to get an annual geo fence unlock rather than a radius circle that wastes battery time while switching it off and on. Worse yet, I was flying outside a geo-fenced area (couldn't...
