KESTREL H6

Reliability, flexibility, and accuracy All in one

The Kestrel H6 is designed for safe flight with its six rotors, ensuring that even if you lose one motor, you can still land safely without experiencing a crash. This drone serves two primary purposes:

Mapping: The Kestrel H6 is equipped with an RTK/PPK module for mapping and supports CORS stations. It also comes with a single camera available in two versions: 20MP and 42MP, both with a 3-axis gimbal. Additionally, it offers user-friendly software for designing the best flight routes for area coverage.

Inspection: The drone's easy swappable payload system allows for various inspection payloads with a 3-axis gimbal, including thermal cameras, zoom cameras, spotlights, and air pollution sensors.

RTK | PPK Module

Fast and Accurate positioning module

The Kestrel H6 features a multifrequency GNSS module that supports both RTK and PPK solutions. With a 5Hz module, it can achieve high accuracy for geotagging pictures. Equipping this module results in a reduction of control points and an increase in accuracy across your entire area. This directly impacts project timelines, project costs, and overall accuracy.

The Kestrel H6 is equipped with two high-performance payloads for mapping: the Blink 42 and Blink 20 cameras. These cameras are fully compatible with the Kestrel H6, providing surveying capabilities with 42MP and 20MP options. They feature mechanical shutters and come in two formats: full-frame and APS-C size, along with 35mm and 23mm lenses. Additionally, the Kestrel H6 boasts a 3-axis gimbal and image stabilizer to ensure the best results in your surveying and mapping endeavors.

The Kestrel H6 is equipped with an advanced thermal camera, zoom camera, and spot light payload designed for inspections. All inspection cameras come with a 3-axis gimbal, providing you with full control over your projects. The advanced thermal camera ensures higher-quality pictures and videos with 4K resolution for your search and rescue missions or any other projects. The Kestrel H6 is suitable for various applications, including building inspections, solar panel assessments, and power line examinations. It is also an ideal choice for search and rescue operations, firefighting, and law enforcement.

Ground Control System

The Ground Station is an all-in-one transmitter and receiver, offering complete control over the Kestrel H6 during flight and enabling users to design and plan missions. Featuring a spacious 7-inch integrated screen, this Android-based controller displays real-time flight footage, eliminating the need for an external device. Additionally, you can use the Ground Control Station (GCS) as a mission planner. Plan your flight using the touchscreen interface and execute your mission with a single button press

Mission Planning Software

mission planning software empowers you to design your route using Google Maps or by importing KML files. This software allows you to customize camera settings, including overlap, altitude, and accuracy. Once your route is designed, you can assess the coverage area and calculate the number of photos required. You have control over flight time and all aspects of the mission.
Our software supports spiral routes and enables terrain-aware flight planning. You can manage accuracy and altitude simultaneously within the software, providing a comprehensive and intuitive solution for your mission planning needs

In a Nutshell...

The Kestrel H6 is suitable for a wide range of applications. It is a versatile drone that can adapt to various tasks by swapping its payload, making it ideal for mapping and inspection applications. The integrated RTK module offers fast and accurate mapping capabilities, reducing the need for Ground Control Points (GCP) and enhancing mapping and navigation precision.

This drone is equipped with reliable obstacle avoidance technology, providing enhanced safety, especially when operating in urban areas or busy locations. It features a 7-inch intelligent ground control station and user-friendly software for mission planning and overall control. The Kestrel is a great choice for both beginners and professional surveyors, as well as those looking to perform inspections
