Industrial (commercial) drones

 

— high-quality quadcopters designed for professional use: high-resolution photo and video shooting from a great height, "inspection" of industrial facilities and land, spraying fields, etc. It is among this variety that multicopters are most often found (see the relevant paragraph). In general, in addition to their large size, industrial / commercial models are also distinguished by their long range and flight altitude (both are usually calculated in kilometers), high payload and extensive functionality. So, many devices from this category allow the installation of heavy advanced cameras (some even initially designed for certain models of professional cameras), others have built-in “optics” with advanced features (for example, with high magnification or support for shooting in the IR range). The design usually provides for a large abundance of sensors. And some models may have more specific functions — for example, the detection of other aircraft nearby. Of course, such functionality comes at a cost.
