Inspection & Survey Drones
Drones built for asset inspection, NDT and survey work — including Indian platforms from Zuppa, Dhaksha and Garuda Aerospace. Pair them with our GPR, magnetometer and bathymetry payloads for a complete survey system. Every deployment is quoted with the payload, mounting and operator training included.
How to choose an inspection or survey drone
- Start with the job: thermal inspection of power lines, solar plants or substations calls for a thermal camera such as the DJI Matrice 4T. Mapping and construction progress need a mechanical-shutter camera like the Matrice 4E's.
- Sensor payloads: for GPR, magnetometer or bathymetry work, choose a payload platform (Matrice 350 RTK or Matrice 400) and pair it with our integrated survey payloads.
- Made in India: for projects that specify Indian-made, consider the Dhaksha SURVIGATOR DH-Q4 (DGCA type-certified, up to 40 min with full payload), the Garuda Aerospace NDT Drone for tank and pipeline NDT, or the ideaForge NETRA 5 for GPS-denied surveillance. See all Made in India drones.
- Budget: DJI kits show a listed base price; Indian platforms are price on request.

Frequently asked questions
Which drone is best for thermal inspection?
The DJI Matrice 4T has a built-in 640×512 thermal camera. Indian-made day/thermal options include the Dhaksha SURVIGATOR DH-Q4 and ideaForge NETRA 5.
Can I fit a GPR or magnetometer?
Yes, on payload platforms such as the Matrice 350 RTK or Matrice 400, typically with the SkyHub onboard computer. We quote the full system: drone, sensor, mount and software.
How does the quote process work?
Share your application, site and sensor. Our team contacts you shortly during working hours (10:00 AM–7:00 PM, every day) with a quote, before 18% GST.
Do I need a licence?
Yes. Every drone here must be registered on Digital Sky and flown by a Remote Pilot Certificate holder.
What warranty applies?
DJI drones carry a 1-year warranty provided by HobiTech. Indian-brand drones carry their manufacturer's warranty, and we help you claim it.
Do you provide training?
We provide SPH Engineering survey training (UgCS, GPR, magnetometer). We do not run DGCA pilot training.
