Fort Lauderdale, FL, March 24, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Drone Nerds, a retail and service leader of enterprise UAVs and technology, is proud to announce a strategic partnership with Wingtra, the Swiss-based producer of the WingtraOne GEN II, a state-of-the-art vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) mapping drone. This collaboration aims to revolutionize aerial surveying and mapping capabilities for clients across various sectors, including urban planning, mining, construction, agriculture, and environmental monitoring.The WingtraOne GEN II drone is renowned for its advanced features that set new standards in aerial data collection. It’s capable of flying at speeds up to 16 m/s (36 mph) for up to 59 minutes per flight and can cover large areas efficiently, making it ideal for extensive surveying projects. Equipped with a full-frame 61 MP camera, the drone captures detailed images with a ground sample distance (GSD) down to 0.7 cm/px, ensuring precise and accurate data for detailed analyses. The integration of a high-precision post-processed kinematic (PPK) GNSS receiver enables absolute horizontal accuracy down to 1 cm without the need for ground control points (GCPs), streamlining the surveying process and reducing fieldwork time. The WingtraOne GEN II's VTOL design allows it to take off and land vertically like a helicopter and transition to efficient fixed-wing flight, providing versatility and operational flexibility in various environments. Through this partnership, Drone Nerds will integrate WingtraOne GEN II drones into its service offerings, providing clients with another solution for faster, more accurate, and cost-effective aerial surveying solutions. This collaboration underscores Drone Nerd's commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to meet the evolving needs of its clients."We are excited to partner with Wingtra and incorporate their innovative drone technology into our operations," says Jeremy Schneiderman, CEO of Drone Nerds. “The WingtraOne GEN II's advanced capabilities will enhance our ability to deliver high-quality data and insights to our clients, enabling them to make informed decisions with greater efficiency.”###About Drone Nerds: Established in 2014, Drone Nerds focuses on ensuring its customers have the right UAV solution for their unique operational needs.

Fort Lauderdale, FL, Jan. 08, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Drone Nerds, one of North America’s largest enterprise drone retailers, service providers, and a DJI Platinum partner, has launched DJI’s latest enterprise drone series, the DJI Matrice 4E, along with the thermal version, the DJI Matrice 4T. Both models are integrated with powerful AI capabilities that facilitate object, vessel, and vehicle detection and tracking, which are especially useful during search and rescue missions. Another series feature includes measurement with the laser range finder, which supports pinpoints, line drawing, and area calculation, for faster, more efficient missions. The DJI Matrice 4E has new, upgraded specs and three cameras, including a wide-angle camera, medium tele camera, and tele camera. The wide-angle camera has a 4/3 CMOS sensor, 20MP effective pixels, f/2.8-f/11, and a mechanical shutter. The medium tele camera has a  1/1.3″ CMOS sensor and 48MP effective pixels. The tele camera itself has a 1/1.5″ CMOS sensor and 48MP effective pixels. The laser range finder offers a measurement range of 1800 m (1 Hz), an oblique incidence range of 600 m (1 Hz), a blind zone of 1 m, and a range accuracy of (m): ± (0.2 + 0.0015 × D).The DJI Matrice 4T has all of those features, plus an infrared thermal camera and a NIR auxiliary light. The infrared thermal camera’s resolution is 640 × 512, f/1.0, has an equivalent focal length of 53 mm, uncooled VOx microbolometer, and supports a high-res mode. The NIR auxiliary light features a 6° field of view, with an illumination distance of 100 m. The M4 series drones are equipped with four intelligent flight modes, Cruise, FlyTo, SmartTrack, and POI. Cruise allows pilots to fly without constantly pressing the control sticks, ideal for long flights and missions. FlyTo can automatically adjust speed and height depending on the environment. The SmartTrack mode offers precise positioning and zoom adjustments. Finally, POI supports efficient modeling tasks by offering continuous observation and 3D modeling of buildings while flying through a specific area.Adding to its robust capabilities, the M4 series offers 5-directional oblique capture—the gimbal intelligently rotates and shoots at multiple angles based on the survey area, whereas previous models had to achieve the same by having to conduct multiple flights. With the 3-directional ortho capture, the M4 drones can capture laterally, reducing lateral overlap. Among other powerful capabilities is the ability to smart capture objects in 3D, allowing pilots to capture and create a rough model of structures on the remote controller. This can also help pilots generate precise mapping routes close to a structure’s surface.“The M4 series is an incredible launch from DJI at the start of 2025; it features powerful AI along with features and upgrades that are going to impact the efficiency of various jobs across varying use cases. We’re ready to get these drones up in the air,” states Jeremy Schneiderman, CEO of Drone Nerds. ####About Drone Nerds: Established in 2014, Drone Nerds focuses on ensuring its customers have the right UAV solution for their unique operational needs.
