Hi,
we just declined a lucrative contract for flying inside. It would have required to fly a lot and very close to walls.
Due to sketchy GPS and numerous (up to 100ft) height levels inside optical sensor navigation would also have been difficult.
ATTI mode was considered unsafe by us, because of the drift issue due to propwash and wall proximity.
Now here is the question. Are there some other methods to aid a drone when flying inside by putting up some sort of optical or radio beacon system inside?
Are they commercially available?
What kind of prices are we looking at?
I'm asking generally and not necessarily only geared towards DJI, even though a method to add an additional receiver to, say, a Mavic would be fab.
I could see a system based on a Wii or similar.
Keen to learn from your know how, thanks,
Fran
