Aerial Survey Cameras

Orthographic and oblique cameras for drone photogrammetry

Our aerial survey cameras are lightweight and compact units that can be easily integrated into a variety of fixed-wing and multirotor drone platforms without impacting performance or maneuverability. The cameras can be used independently on RTK-enabled drones for high-resolution photogrammetry, or connected to CHCNAV’s LiDAR systems to enable colorized point cloud data.
