Vigneron Paul Sloan walks every vineyard that he farms once week, and he sometimes walks them 2-3 times a week depending on how critical decisions are. Those are issues like irrigation leaks, color variation, or pests like nematodes. Sloan, a winemaker and viticulturist at Small Vines Wines, still intends to walk through his vineyards, but he now aims to walk with more intention. By using a drone manufactured by 3D Robotics, Sloan can use aerial images captured by a camera mounted to the drone which pinpoint areas in his vineyard that need more attention. From looking at the images, Sloan could physically walk those targeted areas to decide what the issue is. "It's not going to prevent you from being in your vineyard," he said. "It's just going to give you a more targeted reason for being in your vineyard." For more info, read the complete story in our virtual newsroom: http://3drobotics.com/?p=1001

That is very awesome technology. I am very interested how can I get more information on that particular technology.

I was just curious to know how to you capture images simultaneously on both your cameras while in flight?

UAVs are a terrific asset to communities, especially agricultural communities. Congratulations on a great business!

Hello, I am a geographer from Greece and i try to create a community with geospecial people, who will contribute with new ideas to the implementation of mapping projects. Everyone is useful!!! For this purpose, I invite you to join my page and support my effort. Thanks in advance :) https://www.facebook.com/HumanPhysicalGeography

Thanks 3DR!

I don't understand why the need for a NIR camera or lens.
Photo imaging software exists to view any digital image in NIR or RE.

I really interested to buy one of this, but i want to kwow: Wich camera do you use to capture the images to get de NVDI?

I am a precision Ag specialist in Canada, this is what I have been looking into doing to compliment my business. The one thing that was said here is the collection of nvdi images. What camera and software are you using with the iris, and are you using the stabilized gimbal? With many thanks in advance, Russ.
