The article provides an overview of serial small-sized quadrocopters that can be used for monitoring power plants, electric networks, pipelines, agriculture, land, forest and water resources, infrastructure, etc. A review of the technical characteristics and flight qualities of 8 types of quadrocopters. Their distinguishing feature is the presence of a special suspension, the ability to lift loads from 250 grams and cost up to $ 1000. In this case, the suspension can be used to mount measuring equipment or other sensors. An analysis of the presented quadrocopters based on the method of universal qualitative efficiency criterion was performed. The following characteristics were selected as parameters for analysis: price/quality, camera, functionality, flight time, flight qualities, compactness, equipment, reliability. Based on the analysis, the best types of quadrocopters that can be used to solve monitoring problems were selected. A prototype system for monitoring the technical condition of the main pipelines of heating networks is presented. This complex is based on one of the quadrocopters presented in the review.
