Core Advantages

Flexible User-Exchangeable Lens SystemSupports user-independent lens replacement. Four professional lenses seamlessly adapt to low-altitude high-precision acquisition and high-altitude large-area coverage needs. One device meets full-scenario operations without the need to purchase additional specialized cameras.

Ultra-High Resolution & Extreme Clarity450-megapixel ultra-large footprint sensor combined with 4.0μm high-sensitivity technology, achieving 1.9cm GSD at 1000m flight altitude. Fine ground features are clearly distinguishable, completely eliminating the need for re-shooting.

Synchronous Multispectral AcquisitionSimultaneously captures RGB and NIR multispectral data, supporting pan-sharpening processing to generate high-fidelity color images and vegetation-enhanced false-color images, providing accurate data support for ecological monitoring and crop assessment.

Efficient Operation & Cost ReductionHigh-speed capture of 1 frame per 1.5 seconds, increasing single-flight coverage by 30% compared to traditional devices, reducing flight sorties and fuel consumption. The 94% maximum forward lap rate design ensures data integrity while improving operational efficiency.

Stable & High-Precision OutputStrict factory calibration maintains photogrammetric-grade geometric accuracy after lens replacement. 14-bit ADC retains rich image details, delivering uniformly exposed high-quality data even under complex lighting conditions.

User-Friendly Operation ExperienceThe touchscreen control panel supports real-time in-flight quality inspection. Data formats are compatible with mainstream photogrammetric software, simplifying workflows, lowering post-processing thresholds, and improving project delivery efficiency.
