Optional accessory packages - Add-ons like inspection accessories, multispectral, thermal, and soon LiDAR and methane gas detection accessory bundles add flexibility and functionality to the platform.
"Our clients' customers are asking for UAV services and an mdMapper package is a great way to get started," explained Minick. "Microdrones UAS offer long flight times, superb stability, flexibility in the field, resistance to harsh weather and environmental conditions, and they are easy to learn and operate."

As Martin Instrument begins selling these products, Microdrones will support them with training, marketing, and product support.

"Martin Instrument is a great group of people that is all about personal relationships. A lot of teams say that - but with Martin, it's the truth. We want to assist them in any way that we can to ensure their customers succeed and have a great experience doing it," said Chuck Dorgan, Microdrones Sales Director in North America.

To support dealers like Martin Instrument, Microdrones recently developed an online Dealer Toolbox complete with presentations, images, logos, and sales tools to help dealers reach their customers. "The Dealer Toolbox will continue to expand with a Microdrones clothing and merchandise site, as well as sales primers and camera-ready ads," said Mike Dziok, Marketing Director for Microdrones. "We want to make it easy for dealers to explain the technology because, well, when you can do that, it sells itself."
