    Patent number: 10613429
    Abstract: A device (200) includes a unit bracket weldment (201), a bridge weldment (202) extending from the unit bracket weldment to a plate bracket assembly (209), and an x-ray plate (203) extending distally from the plate bracket assembly. One or more cable hook weldments (211,212) are disposed to either side of the x-ray plate. A method of inspecting a cable (1102) or power line includes coupling the device to a drone (101).
