PAYLOADS FOR image data capture
Powerful high resolution cameras have enabled drone operators to generate a whole new level of detail from aerial imaging. Now able to capture the information they require from a greater range, aerial data collection has become significantly faster, effective and safer for operators.
DJI ZENMUSE P1
The Zenmuse P1 integrates a full-frame sensor with interchangeable fixed-focus lenses on a 3-axis stabilized gimbal. Designed for photogrammetry flight missions, it takes efficiency and accuracy to a whole new level.
Compatibility: Matrice 300 RTK
Share uav psdk 102s V3
PSDK 102S V3 five-lens aerial oblique camera, designed by SHARE UAV, is a new generation mapping camera for surveying and mapping with no GCPs. The 3-axis gimbal camera seamlessly docks with DJI Matrice 300 RTK through SkyPort. The CNC designed housing gives PSDK 102S V3 better heat dissipation, less wind resistance and a stronger structure which is more conducive to aerial surveying. The PSDK 102S V3 surveying camera features the SHARE self-designed S-OPG Mapping Sensor, which integrates data imaging, parameter settings, POS data writing, and dynamic image transmission. Along with the self-designed S-ML mapping lens, which supports a short focus distance of 12m, the camera is highly adaptable to a variety of environments and use cases.
Compatibility: Matrice 300 RTK
DJI Zenmuse X7
The DJI Zenmuse X7 offers revolutionary features that redefine professional aerial cinematography. A Super 35 mm effective sensor size for video recording can shoot 6K CinemaDNG and 5.2K Apple ProRes at up to 30 FPS, as well as 3.9K CinemaDNG and 2.7K ProRes at up to 59.94 FPS (narrow FOV).
The X7 also introduces the DL-Mount, the world's first aerial lens mount system to quickly switch among four available prime lenses (16, 24, 35, 50 mm), creating a completely integrated system with professional gimbals and drones such as the Inspire 2. For seamless editing, a new DJI Cinema Color System preserves accurate colors for easier post-processing. Reach new heights and capture scenes as you imagine them with the DJI Zenmuse X7.
The DJI Zenmuse X7 can be mounted on the Inspire 2 and the Matrice series drones. When mounted on the Matrice 210 RTK V2, the Zenmuse X7 is also an effective surveying and mapping tool that can produce maps with centimetre-level accuracy. With resolutions up to 24 MP, it can achieve up to 1.5 GSD at an altitude of 120 m. To learn more about the Zenmuse X7 being used for photogrammetry solutions visit this link.

DJI PHANTOM 4 RTK
The DJI Phantom 4 RTK is a purpose-built drone to provide the most compact and accurate low altitude mapping solution. DJI has rethought its drone technology from the ground-up, revolutionising its systems to achieve a new standard for drone accuracy — offering Phantom 4 RTK customers centimetre-accurate data while requiring fewer ground control points.
The technology allows users to combine and contrast position data captured from a virtual or physical base station. The Phantom 4 RTK’s camera geotags the centimetre-level precision data into the image. Radial and tangential lens distortions are measured for every Phantom 4 RTK’s camera to have its unique distortion parameters and write these distortion parameters into the image for post-process calibration.
The system was designed by looking at the requirements from the drone mapping and surveying market and building what they wished for — a small drone solution with a high-resolution camera and the ability to capture centimetre-accurate RTK data.
