Together with Vanderbilt colleagues, I purchased and I am currently using a DJI Matrice 400 with a Zenmuse L3 LiDAR and a RGB, multispectral, and thermal camera (MicaSense Altum-PT). This system replaces a Trinity Pro drone made by Quantum Systems (https://quantum-systems.com/trinity-pro/) with two payloads (https://quantum-systems.com/cameras-overview-trinity-pro/).

We process LiDAR data with DJI Terra and Modify.

Please contact me (markus.eberl@vanderbilt.edu) if you are interested in accessing this drone.
