Reality check

The useful boundary is what works repeatedly in a real environment—not what looks impressive in a demo.

Works well when

Mapping, inspection and coverage of large or elevated areas
Repeatable routes with defined take-off and landing zones
Evidence capture that is safer or faster than sending people

Verify before buying

Local flight rules, permits and restricted airspace
Wind, rain, battery swaps and communications
Who reviews images and turns findings into work orders

Not a magic solution

A replacement for a defined inspection process
Reliable autonomy in every weather condition
Permission to ignore privacy or safety boundaries
