📍 Portland, OR This wasn’t just a drone flight, it was a full-scale geospatial operation. Redefined Horizons deployed two Inspired Flight platforms to map an 80-acre industrial site along the Willamette River: The IF1200, equipped with a Phoenix LiDAR Systems miniRANGER-3, captured high-density topography and complex infrastructure. The IF800 and a 61MP Sony ILX-LR1 collected detailed nadir imagery for photogrammetry and orthomosaic generation. The result? A complete, engineering-grade digital snapshot, combining aerial innovation with precise, ground-verified data. 🎥 Full video and behind-the-scenes article coming soon in the next issue of IFT Quarterly.
