A drone might be the best tool to help you get into aerial mapping. Despite all the choices, the Yuneec H520 is a top-selling drone for aerial mapping. Hobbyists love its high speed and interchangeable lenses. The DJI Mavic Pro has many advantages but is not the ideal choice for all mapping enthusiasts.
Yuneec H520
The Yuneec Y520 mapping drone will revolutionize the mapping sector. The H520 can be used for both 2D- and 3D mapping. This drone is also capable of covering large areas in a short time. The H520 can overlay infrared images over normal images by using a dual-lens CGO/ET cam. Moreover, the H520's live-streaming capability will allow multiple users to view the same thing at the same time.
DJI Matrice 300 series
DJI Matrice 300 series drones are ideal for professional users and business users who require accurate aerial data. This premium enterprise aircraft features an integrated Zenmuse P1 photography camera. It is one of most advanced mapping drones currently on the market. Multiple operators can switch control in flight thanks to the Matrice 300 RTK's dual control and flight capabilities. The advanced dual control system also allows users to switch operators without compromising the accuracy of data collected. Moreover, a single tap can give an operator control of the aircraft, which is especially useful for complex missions.
Parrot Anafi
Parrot ANAFI, a drone that is capable of high-quality filming and photography, is the ideal choice. The ANAFI 48MP 1/2-inch CMOS Camera has a dynamic range (14 EV) and can capture vivid imagery under any light. The ANAFI's flight time is 25 minutes and it is very quiet. It is also highly resistant to extreme weather conditions. Advanced performance and automatic flight modes allow the drone to do exactly that.
WingtraOne PPK VTOL
The WingtraOnePPK VTOL Mapping Quadcopter is a vertical takeoff/landing (VTOL), aerial mapping device that can safely land from high-rise obstructions and restricted areas. The aircraft's vertical takeoff/landing capabilities make them safer than BTOL rivals. This helps reduce the chance of accidents, extends the life span, and lowers operating costs. Its simple flight controls make it easy to use. The learning curve is minimal, so a pilot can easily learn how to fly it within an hour.
Freefly Alta 8
The Freefly Alta 8 octorotor UAS is designed to be used with a MoVI Gimbal. This is also available separately. It is easily attached and removed by using the quick release, adjustable gimbal mount. ALTA 8's flexible, folding prop arms and molded plastic enclosure make it easy for storage and transport.
