Share your experience regarding drone use on your farm/for agricultural imaging

[RTr]

Hello

I am looking at buying/building a hexacopter for farm use. Looking to use a multispectral camera on it (like the parrot sequoia, agrobotix or agrocam).

I need at least a 20min flight time. Payload is not that heavy. Those cameras together with gimbal should not weigh more than 1kg.

I was looking to build one based on the Tarot frames.

While researching I found this built which pretty much matches what I thought would be fit for my purpose:

Does anyone have any experience with this type of built for farm use?

Or any experience with any frame for farm use?

Maybe you can suggest a better solution than the one I found?

Any input is much appreciated.

Thank you

I would stay away from the 680 frame as it uses smaller diameter booms which are too flexible. I have the Tarot 810 frame which is sturdy and rugged.
