EQUIPMENT
Our workhorse
The GSS U416
GSS sets the industry standard for stability widely recognized as having the highest standards for stabilized imagery at high speeds with heavy camera/sensor payloads. With the U416 camera, Right Brother Aviation is able to offer a well refined solution for powerline inspection, pipeline inspection and gas leak detection.
The U416 is capable of offering 4k video, and 102 mp images. Most importantly, the system offers longer focal length lenses therefore allowing higher flight altitudes and a much larger safety margin. We are able to patrol power lines and gaslines from an altitude of over 300ft or more, bringing us up and out of the lower level wire environment.
With the U416 we offer:
+ Infrared Inspections
+ Corona Inspections
+ High Resolution Aerial imaging (video and photo)
+ Gas leak detection
+ Gasline survey
+ Comprehensive Visual Inspections

INFRARED Camera
+ Our most often used camera is the Jenoptik blackbird xga 120mm Lens
+ Thermographic IR and a day light video camera for temperature sensing powerlines.
+ Resolution: 1024 x 768
+ Temperature Measurement Range: -40°C - +1200°C
We have two additional IR cameras which gives us the ability to operate multiple jobs in the same timeframes. Less down time means more availability for our clients! Our secondary IR camera is housed within our secondary gimbal, the Hurley Falcon III, and we also operate a handheld FLIR T110.
Reports for infrared patrols include high quality IR images, visual spectrum images, GPS location data, temperature data, and a brief description of the anomaly.
CORONA camera
+ HD Resolution: 1280 x 720
+ HFOV: 8° x VFOV 6°
+ Corona Measurement Method: Intensity based county, calibrated for irradiance value of selected area
UV/Corona patrols allow us to detect UV emissions not visible to the naked eye. This patrol is most often performed as a routine maintenance /preventative survey.
GAS LEAK DETECTION camera
The Ventus OGI gas imaging lens is an industry leading, 640-512 high operating temperature, mid-wave infrared camera core designed to detect and visualize hydrocarbon gasses, including methane, propane and butane.
4K VIDEO AND HIGH RES PHOTOGRAPHY lens’
+ Fujinon GFX100s with 140-280mm Lens
+ 4K/HD video camera with 20x optic
+ 102 megapixels
