The FBD Scouting Drone, is the easiest way to see what your crops need before you spend a penny on inputs. It's a light, one-person drone that flies your fields on a pre-set plan and captures two things at once: an ordinary high-detail photo of the field, and special crop-health imagery that reveals stress and problems days before they're visible to the naked eye.
Alongside its 20-megapixel full-colour camera, it carries four dedicated crop-health cameras that read the light plants reflect, the tell-tale early signs of hunger, stress, weeds and disease. A sunlight sensor on top keeps every reading accurate whatever the weather, and built-in centimetre-accurate RTK positioning means your maps line up perfectly with your fields, year after year. It flies itself, senses obstacles all around, and covers a large area in a single 43-minute flight.
Supplied and set up by FarmingByDrone and backed by our reporting service, every flight comes back to you as a clear, plain-English report and ready-to-use treatment maps, to act on yourself or hand straight to your agronomist.
You press one button; we handle the technical part.
