One Drone Flight, Four Water Samples? Yes, With Nero Poli.

The Australian company Sphere Drones has developed a new water sampling system that can be used in combination with various DJI drones. The system is called Nero Poli and can take up to four water samples in one drone flight, to a maximum depth of three meters or ten feet. It is also possible to immediately measure the water temperature.

Thanks to a flow sensor, it is possible to determine exactly how much water is taken. To prevent contamination, the Nero Poli provides…
