DJI Mavic 3 Thermal (M3T) Flight Guidelines

Description: The M3T is a solar industry work horse equipped with multiple cameras including a wide-angle RGB, zoom, and 640x512 radiometric thermal camera. The portability and versatility of this aircraft makes it a prime candidate for solar inspections.

Improvements: The M3T has an interval capture rate of 0.7 seconds which allows faster capture speeds and shorter mission times compared to its predecessors (DJI M30T, M300, and M350).
