How did you get your drone to map thermal at 5mph? What height were you flying at? I have done a few thermal inspections at 175 feet and the drone would fly under 2mph.

Alt was 140 feet and that was the preset given once the flight path was set.

For thermal roof inspections with a Matrice drone, fly about an hour after sunset for best thermal contrast. Use a consistent flight path with good image overlap for stitching. Cameras like the Zenmuse XT2 or H20T are ideal. Capture radiometric images for detailed analysis with software like FLIR Tools. Mark locations during video if you use that method. Using GPS/RTK helps pinpoint defects accurately. This method is efficient and reliable.

flight time of day depends on the type of inspection being conducted
