Orbit with multiple dome shells
Single orbit misses the top of the tower. Muninn's multi-shell dome stacks 2-4 orbits at different radii and altitudes — so the drone captures the base, the mid-mount, and the top-cluster in one flight.
Why Muninn
Bottom shell at 10m altitude & 8m radius, top shell at 35m & 6m radius. Every antenna gets a dedicated orbit at the right angle.
Each shell computes its own gimbal pitch so the camera is always aimed at the tower. You don't do the trigonometry — Muninn does.
Every waypoint's heading points at the tower base. Even on windy days, the drone keeps the structure centered.

FAQ
RF emissions from active panels can degrade GPS lock. Start with wider shells (12m+), check for RTH stability, then tighten if drone holds lock. Never fly <5m from active panels.
Part 107 caps you at 400ft AGL. Taller towers need a waiver. Muninn enforces 120m (394ft) by default.
Most Tier-1 carriers (AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile) have drone inspection programs. You typically need to be on an approved vendor list and carry commercial insurance.
