Chad Vargas holds his DJI Phantom 4 drone above a color and light registration book to help calibrate the multispectral
camera before fl ying and recording images of Pinot Noir grapes in Newberg, Oregon. Vargas says the multispectral images
captured by drones help him spot potential troubles, such as in the row shown below, which is overstressed. He also says
drones not only help troubleshoot current problems, they also gather data that can be compared over multiple years.
