South Island Live Drone Demonstration - Christchurch, February 2023

This February we will be holding a live drone demo day to showcase some of the latest DJI drones.

The demo day will include live demonstrations of the various drones, showcasing the advantages of using this technology in different industries. As well in-depth explanations on the different models and their suitability for different tasks. Have the opportunity to ask our experts questions and see examples of the results drones can provide.

We will be demonstarting the brand new DJI Agras T40, the latest agricultural spray drone which holds 40L of liquid. Ferntech’s team will demonstrate how the craft can complete both manual and automatic missions.

For those interested in aerial mapping, the DJI Mavic 3 Enterprise, DJI Mavic 3 Multispectral, and DJI Matrice 300 RTK (mounted with the Zenmuse L1 LiDAR and Zenmuse P1) will showcase recent developments in aerial surveying technology.

The team will also talk through a range of thermal drones, from the industrial DJI Matrice 300 RTK (mounted with DJI Zenmuse H20T) and DJI Matrice 30T to the compact DJI Mavic 3 Thermal, relaying the pros and cons of each model.

And finally, participants will take the controls themselves of a DJI drone.

The day is open to anyone interested in commercial drone technology from any industry. The knowledgeable Ferntech team will be available to answer questions on specific applications.
