Introduction
The choice of drone hardware plays a pivotal role in delivering quality results Sitemark. The compatibility of specific drone models is crucial for optimal performance and data accuracy. Depending on your situation, budget and what you intend to inspect can all effect which equipment you will choose to use.
We want to make sure that we can support as many different equipment set ups as possible but making sure that this doesn't hinder our ability to deliver the results our customers expect. Below you will see a list of all of the different equipment that you can use depending on the data product you have chosen.

What if my sensor isn't on the list?
If your sensor is not on the list, we are incompatible with it. However, depending on the business case and our requirements, we can investigate it further.
Watch Out
DJI Matrice 30T
Infrared Image Super-resolution Mode (1280×1024) is not yet supported until adequate TSDK-release from DJI.
When turning on the sensor, it is necessary to deselect the default super-resolution mode. If this is not done, then the images are not compatible with the Sitemark platform and cannot be processed.
