Find Your Buck Before You Lose Him
You made a good shot. Buck ran, crashed, and you spent two hours finding nothing. The DJI M4T Thermal Drone Recovery Kit fixes that. UHR thermal imaging cuts through brush, fog, and total darkness. Four batteries give you ~3 hours of search time so you stay in the air until you find him.
Standard delivery: 5–7 business days. Call (863) 224-6923 or email sales@covertdrones.com.
The Thermal Sensor That Sees Everything
The M4T's 640x512 UHR thermal sensor spots heat signatures through thick brush, tall grass, and pitch-black timber. Punch in with 112x hybrid zoom to visually confirm before moving. The laser rangefinder drops a GPS pin on the exact location. Walk straight to him.

M4T vs M4TD

Important Notes
State Law: Drone deer recovery isn't legal in every state. Verify regulations before purchasing.

CPS Accidental Protection available at checkout — covers crash, water damage, hardware failure, controller, and gimbal. Strongly recommended (no IP rating).
Agency/Gov Procurement: Same-day formal quotes, Net 30 available. Note FAR 52.240-1 restricts federal funds for DJI — state, county, and private grant funding eligible. Call us.
