Built to the highest standard of any RTF builder in the world.
And I bet I still forgot a few others.
For over 3 years we have built RTF systems for the TV and Movie industry. Our customers have never flown anything RC before.
Because of this we have the philosophy that a Ready To Fly UAV must be READY to FLY. No extra parts or add-ons, that are discovered after you get the craft.
We make sure that the customer has all of the equipment they need and know how to use what they have. All items are labeled and the Futaba has labels on all functional switches.
The ORION also comes in customized setups for customers with different needs. If you are doing very large solar installations for example we have an extended flight model that is bigger for that application.
One point I need to make really clear about the ORION. It is like no other IR UAV in the past. I have been a Distributor for Droidworx for over 3 years and have seen the Tau Core units on their site for a few years now. This is not like that. The ORION is a far more advance because unlike a Tau, which only sends a video link via a video transmitter to the ground. The ORION sends a digital data link that allows full control of the IR camera in flight. You can touch anywhere on the screen while the image is being captured to check a temperature. After you land a Tau will only offer you a video file that you can not take measurements from. The ORION's files are fully adjustable and measurable. Think of a Tau like a snapshot that is printed and you can only look at it. The ORION then is like a RAW image and with FLIR Tools you can adjust the image to your hearts content like with a RAW image in Photoshop. The ability to make use the FLIR software allows you to see information that would not be visible with a Tau CORE style camera.
CORE based cameras do have uses on a UAV, Since they are easy to setup and do not require a complicated computerization system and digital data links they are much less expensive. They are perfect for a Situation Awareness Thermal setup, say looking for something hot like a person, ie Police and Military work. They are also easy to overlay GPS information on top of the video feed, just like with a video feed from a regular camera.
I think that should clear up most of your questions.
