I am going to buy an unmanned aerial vehicle for my university for forestry applications. Since there are alot of options, I realy get confused to choose a proper model and a valid brand. Also, l want to use a 3d laser scanner and a multispectral camera. I would rather that the vehicle have gps and imu and the flight could be programmed. Please if you have personal experience, share them.
Best regards,
Hormoz
The answer depends on your budget :-)
I could recommend octocopters like this:

If you buy a good UAV, that may even replace the laser scanner, but of course, it will depend on the terrain and your objectives. I have very good experience with the ebee from sensefly. All the best
