I assume that the airframe is the Sentinel with VOLX 2? 

What is included in the basic package (cameras, sensors, etc.)

Anything else useful but not included in the basic package?

We need a 3-axis gimbal with 4K/8K camera, IR and laser rangefinder for testing.  Which gimbal with 4K/8K cameras, IR and laser rangefinders are supported. Any suggestions?

We need precision landing on a moving base station (RTH) in wind. Does the platform have Dynamic RTH? 

What is the IPxx rating? 

Is the SDK open source (based on Pixhawk/Python) and would it be compatible with Autel, Parrot or Aurelia?

@rpaston I can answer a few of your questions, you can find most of the answers on our website.
For [Sentinel](https://www.modalai.com/products/sentinel-development-drone?variant=40446488805427)
For [RB5](https://www.modalai.com/products/qualcomm-flight-rb5-5g-platform-reference-drone?variant=39517470326835)

The Sentinel comes with Voxl2, while RB5 has a different platform. Depends on what you're doing. Would encourage the Sentinel 

The basic kit has most of what you need. Doesn't include transmitter or batteries or travel case.

For the other questions, co-works should be able to answer

@Adrian-Hidalgo 
The Pro Dev Kit w/5K Modem ($5,700) comes with batteries and case. Which transmitter are you referring to?

@rpaston 

The Sentinel and QC Flight RB5 are drones for software development - they are a reference so ultimately so you can build your own drones from our components. From your questions, it looks like you are looking for a more complete system.
