Tell us the area, the resolution you need and what you must deliver; we recommend the aircraft and payload.
Specifications from each maker's documents (CHCNAV, GreenValley, MicaSense, Riebo and Sony); – means the maker does not state it. Calculated rows use pixel size and lens; they are not flight results. Makers may change specifications without notice.
