How Kespry Drone Systems Work
Surveying and mapping customers launch the Kespry Drone on their job site as frequently as needed. The Kespry Drone maps 60-90 acres in one flight and automatically creates multiple flights to map sites up to 600 acres. It features automatic take-off, auto flight path, and auto landing — no joystick required — with full safety controls. Aerial site photos are captured on the drone and automatically uploaded to the iPad tablet application and secure cloud storage for access by project teams.
