Limited Payload Capability There is a lot of hardware that goes into a VTOL drone, which tends to make them bulky and heavy. This means that there is typically not a lot of extra lift capacity in a VTOL drone for complex payload. JOUAV also offers several payload options for thermal imaging, surveying, and mapping.
