Mods, if this doesn't belong here, then please move it to the proper forum.

So I'm interested in doing some multi spectral ag work and possibly some thermal work as well. However, the cost of admission to either of these fields isn't exactly cheap. In discussing this, it was suggested that I might look at a used Matrice 200 or 210 and then outfit it with A thermal sensor and a multispectral sensor, changing out payloads as needed for the job at hand.

Does this sound like a workable solution? What pros and cons would you see in this choice?

Thanks in advance for your time and thoughts.

I fly M200 with XT2 duo sensor. Best fit for me as I do roof and Solar inspection. Can't speak to Ag, but you are right. Not cheap to move into this space. The XT2 was $13,000 when it came out, but I see it now for $7,000 new. M210 can still be found for about 4000 new. Batteries are still available for about 180 a piece if you shop around
