In the fall of 2015, a soleon multicopter coanda x12 was used for data flights in Namibia in southern Africa by our customer, the University of Bayreuth, climatology working group.
The multicopter is equipped with 12 motors and can transport 3 different measurement systems at the same time.

Deployed sensors:

- 2 Nikons (with modifications that allow the chip to reach into the photographic infrared).
     Filters used: one filtering out everything below photographic IR, another filtering out everything below green.

- Thermal camera from Optris

Despite very strong winds, data acquisition was very accurate.
