Another great drone!
As per my personal review below :

Pros :

A good solution for those who are in agriculture for it has a multipurpose function
It has 2 embedded cameras, video camera ang multispectral sensor which can really help farmers to have their return of investment and earn more profit in it
It does analyze quickly on the crop's health by the use of its user friendly processing software
It can be easily be transported since it has its removable propellers and what's best is that it is easy to setup, fly and even repair if damage
It does provide automatic crop mapping which define areas you want them to fly over and at what altitude where you can easily monitor the status of its flight
You can even set flight planning through the use of mobile app

Cons :

With the price of $5,000.00. I think it is really worth it because you can surely get more of its value on the long run. A better profit gateway for most farmers.

I do drones professionally so i guess i should put in a word or two....

Pros

Built in Parrot sensors for all-in-one solution to farmers.
Easy plug-and-play for farmers without steep learning curve.
Small form factor enterprise drone that will redefine what it means to be an "industrial drone".

Cons

Not the right drone build for it's application. Period. Quadcopters arent meant to fly the distance the Bluegrass has to fly for its job. In fact parrot already has a great fixed wing drone product. why go make a quadcopter?
In line with above, the coverage per flight.. claims to cover 30 hectares per flight, that is MINISULE for a commercial scale farm. Good luck to the drone pilot flying that drone.
Insane price point for a drone. I understand it's meant for enterprise businesses but still, what a way to milk Farming companies with cash to spare.

Overall

Parrot currently makes the best full spectrum sensors and they've been doing in for a pretty long time. My biggest beef is that they choose a quadcopter build. I seriously don't understand why they come up with that when merely putting in an extra $500 will get you the Parrot Disco AG, which is way more suited for the job. Well i guess its because customers wants it and Parrot is merely responding to the market. Which is pretty silly on farmer's part.

this is an example of a quality comment that deserves an upvote by @steemhunt. it's thoughtful and adds value by bringing new considerations to the product. it is composed of original points. personally idk the diff between a quadcopter and a fixed wing drone but at least now i know there is a diff.

This is such a great innovation for drones and the agriculture industry. Here are my thoughts for this great product of engineering.
Pros:

The design for the Parrot Bluegrass is good, and I'm very sure this is built with high quality standard-approved materials.
Easy to use by farmers thanks to the application known as Pix4Dcapture which let's the farmer have his own defined schedules for his drone to monitor and get real-time updates for his livestock, ranch or properties.
The functionality of this drone is too great to be ignored by farmers, this drone can 30 hectares of farmland at an altitude of 70 meters, that saves alot of time instead of assigning people to monitor the situation of the farmlands.
For the price? Nah, the price is very considerable, more time and money being saved, meaning more profit for the farmers at the same time, if the drones gets destroyed or damaged, spare parts are readily available which is good.

Cons:
None for this product of innovation.

Pros:

This is very beneficial for farmers who have a huge land or area to manage. This will definitely help save time and manpower while constantly monitoring the crops
It is very easy to transport and easy to set up. One wouldnt need a super-techy hand to navigate this one. Truly the future of farming
Using its sensors, you will now be able to assess the health of your crops. So instead of manually checking them day by day, you will have an ample time in creating methods on how to keep them healthy

Cons:

It is quite expensive for $5,000. It may take a while before reaping an ROI from this one

🕵️ Another Incredible Hunt @sunsu 🕵️

Pros:
After seeing the glimpse at first I thought the product you described was Drone in general, and I almost missed the interesting information. Apparently, Drone "Parrot Bluegrass" is the latest innovation in the use of drones for everyday life, precisely focusing on "Farming".

With its "Full HD Camera" feature, farmers can easily view and analyze the whole state of the garden quickly. Indeed if the garden we have narrow, then there is no problem in monitoring. But different cases if tens of hectares we have to monitor manually. At least, with Parrot Bluegrass monitoring work will be helpful.

Remarkably, the Spectrum Sensor has been implemented for rapid plant identification, so pests can be identified early.

Cons:
Still in the early stages, and need other functions that are more useful. Fortunately, the company already has a foresight to make Drone more useful in many agricultural activities.

This would be a great help to a lot of farmers.

Pros:

It has an innovative camera that lets farmers and users see the fields.
It is beginner friendly and anyone without technological background can use it
The spectrum that lets farmers identify the crops they have

Cons:

It is expensive for small farmers but I see on the website that it has installment plans so it's a good option.
I hope this will not happen but if it replaced farmers, some farmers who are employed like farmers in third world countries could be out of jobs

Pros :

more efficient than sending a person around on foot.
views are better than from on the ground

Cons :

there is a human element of walking the fields and talking to the plants; truly finding out what the plants need.
