In the realm of Search and Rescue (SAR), rapid deployment and extended flight time are the two critical factors to consider. Most SAR teams opt for compact drones that can be stowed in a backpack and deployed within a minute. Leading the market in this specialised niche are the DJI Mavic 3 Thermal and its advanced counterpart, the DJI Mavic 30T, as well as the Parrot ANAFI USA from French manufacturers, Parrot. These drones not only offer the convenience of a foldable design for easy transport but also come equipped with thermal and zoom cameras, along with impressive flight durations on a budget.
