I got to make a mad dash to the airport. My business partner was ready to fly a couple of missions, and forgot one critical part of one of the the mounts. So I went to his house, grabbed the part, and drove out there. He was mounting two cameras on the airplane. It looks really cool, with dual cameras. One is our normal operating system which points down. The other camera is a prototype for the camera manufacturer we work with. It has a really cool rotating head for the camera. We can set up a line to fly, like a pipeline or any easement line, and just fly along and the camera keeps pointing at the line so the pilot can just fly along the path on the laptop. It works for road inspections as well. It is really a way to inspect the easement or roadway and not for real mapping. It might be a entire new market for us.
It will be interesting to see the final output from the systems.
