UAV Mapper is an incredibly durable, affordable,
commercial grade aerial mapping camera platform. The airframe was
designed for the Pixhawk autopilot and carries popular UAV
cameras including: Sony mirrorless cameras, Sequoia, RedEdge,
Flir Vue, Mapir, and SlantRange. It's made of
safe, durable EPP foam and is reinforced with carbon fiber tubes. Its
all up flying weight (with a NEX5) is less than 1.9 kg, which is below the
FAA proposed
requirement for a Micro UAS. It can stay in the air for
about 40 minutes on a single charge, which will easily photograph a
square kilometer while flying at 100 meters. The flying wing design flies better
in strong winds than a traditional airplane and is more portable. Whether you
want a ready to go
solution or just an airframe, there's a UAV Mapper for you.
