Greetings! Part of the reason for purchasing the Max was to test it at some of our underground mines for inspection and photogrammetric survey purposes. I've reached out to Autel with no response yet (~24 hours only), and was able to chat with Joe at Vertigo Drones for a while. I'm hoping the combination of the "no blind spots" and sonar/visual obstacle avoidance and AI navigation aspects will allow me to conduct some inspections in old workings (areas of the mine deemed unsafe for people to enter). Since this is probably the ultimate example of a "GPS Deprived" environment, and I'll be in spaces roughly 40' wide and tall, I'm looking for wisdom from anyone that's had experience doing anything similar, especially with the Max. Please consider this a general request for guidance on how not to immediately crash the drone. For these initial tests we'll have portable lighting, but I do intend to slowly darken the area to see how it handles it. Hopefully it isn't long before we can get a spotlight add-on. I'll be sure to follow up with my feedback on the experience as well.
Thank you!
Thank you!
