Universal ground penetrating radar system for terrestrial and airborne surveys with real-time sampling (RTS) technology and advanced built-in digital signal processing to provide high quality data with an exceptional signal-to-noise ratio.

The Zond Aero 600 NG is a slightly smaller model than the Aero 500 NG. It offers virtually the same data and penetration, but fits between the legs of most popular drones on the market without the need for complicated mounting hardware.

The Zond Aero 600 NG is a truly versatile system that can be used in the most appropriate way for specific survey conditions:

  • on a cart - the most standard method for scanning on the streets or in confined spaces
  • dragged with a tow rope if the load-bearing capacity of the ground surface is not suitable for a wheeled cart
  • on a drone for large open areas without tall obstacles and vegetation

Lightweight GPR system on the market, suitable for medium-sized drones like DJI M400/M350/M300.

The user is responsible for checking the suitability of a given GPR model for use in a particular country.

Please note that additional components and software must be ordered to use this GPR with drones. It is recommended to order a complete set. Please ask for the quote.

Why Drone Insurance Matters – And Where to Get It

Flying a drone can be exciting and rewarding—but it also comes with risks. While drone insurance isn't always legally required, it’s highly recommended to protect yourself, your equipment, and others around you. Whether you’re flying for fun, professional photography, or commercial inspections, having the right insurance offers peace of mind and may be required by clients or job sites.


💡 Why You Should Consider Drone Insurance

🔹 Liability Coverage
Protects you financially if your drone causes property damage or injury to others.

🔹 Damage Protection
Covers repair or replacement costs if your drone is damaged due to crashes, hard landings, or environmental hazards.

🔹 Theft Coverage
Helps recover losses if your drone or gear is stolen.

🔹 Client & Regulatory Compliance
Many commercial projects, job sites, and government contracts require proof of insurance before allowing flight operations.

🔹 Peace of Mind
Know you’re covered—legally and financially—so you can focus on flying with confidence.


🛡️ Types of Drone Insurance

Liability Insurance – Covers third-party injury and property damage.

⚖️ Is Drone Insurance Legally Required?

In the United States, the FAA does not require insurance, but many local governments, private clients, and commercial contracts do. It’s especially crucial if you’re flying professionally or in public spaces.


✔️ Before You Fly

Check with your current insurance provider to see if they cover drone rentals or flight operations. If not, we highly recommend securing coverage before you launch.
