Cool New Aerial Inspection Kit.

This must be the coolest piece of inspection equipment. The Air2Air Draganflyer X6 (cool name too). Click in the link and find the video of an aerial tree inspection.

Re: Cool New Aerial Inspection Kit.

I’m going to check my budget tomorrow and see if there is enough to go out and buy one! Imagine the hours of fun you could have (while technically still at work)
