[QUOTE="PhantomFandom, post: 90680, member: 15128"] I think you have a whole lot of issues to contend with here: [LIST] [*]As Al mentioned already, the Spark has very little excess power to support any sort of payload. Even a light tether might be too much. [*]You said the entry port is at the top of the tank. As such the tether would be coming down from the top of the Spark ,which can/may/will at some point catch one of the props and cause a big problem. [*]If the tank is magnetic then the Spark compass will go crazy. [*]How will you light the inside of the tank sufficiently to get good quality video/pictures? [*]You can't just run power leads to the battery contacts because the FC communicates with the battery circuitry. Without a smart battery there, the drone will most likely not even let you power up. [/LIST] This can't possibly be a unique problem in your industry. How are companies doing inspections now? Has no one found a solution like this? [/QUOTE]
