SKU IS-RS-ZOND-AERO-1000
Request a quote

Lightweight GPR system, suitable for medium-sized drones like DJI M300/M350 RTK.

NG in the name of device stands for "New Generation": that model utilizes high-speed controller with real-time sampling (RTS) delivering clean data with high signal-to-noise ratio. 

Recommended applications:

  • profiling snow and ice to a depth of several meters
  • detection of small objects at a depth of a few tens of centimeters below the surface

Includes a transportation box and mountings for the DJI M300/M350 RTK drone. Mounts for other types of drones are available upon request.

HS Code: 90158020 (meteorological, hydrological, geophysical instrument)

Please note that additional components and software must be ordered to use this GPR with drones. It is recommended to order a complete set.
