The Parrot Professional line, as the company calls it, is the culmination of its moves toward courting the commercial sector. The drone maker had long been known for its popular consumer-facing AR.Drone that debuted in 2010, but in lieu of losing its market dominance to DJI, had started introducing prosumer features like FPV video goggles and "follow me" modes. Then it laid off a third of its drone production workforce in January.

The Pro line of drones offer entry-level "end to end" solutions for consumer needs -- prefab setups of its drones specced to address a work case. The Disco-Pro AG has multispectral sensors and mapping software to survey land. The Bebop gets two preset Pro models: the Thermal examines heat and radiometry for roofers, plumbers and firefighters, while the 3D Modeling focuses on capturing external geometry.
