WHASER

£1,375.00

A LiDAR rangefinding altimeter that attaches to consumer drones, primarily the DJI Mavic Pro series and drones of a similar size or larger. It measures the drone's true height above the target at the moment of capture, which is the missing variable needed to turn aerial imagery into accurate measurements of marine megafauna.

With a precise altitude reading, photogrammetry from a single overflight yields reliable length, girth, and body-condition data without tagging, capture, or contact. It works across species, from blue whales and humpbacks to whale sharks and orca, and deploys from a boat or the shore.

An optional handle supports hand launches and recoveries from boats, where deck space is limited and a stable takeoff or landing point isn't available.
