eBee Plus

Aerial efficiency, photogrammetric accuracy

Why choose the eBee Plus?

The eBee Plus survey drone is a large-coverage photogrammetric mapping system featuring RTK/PPK upgradeability, for survey-grade accuracy on demand.

Efficient

The eBee Plus can map a larger area, per flight, than any drone in its weight class, so you can maximise your efficiency & plan projects with confidence.

Accurate

The eBee Plus survey drone includes High-Precision on Demand; built-in RTK/PPK functionality to activate out of the box or when required. It‘s survey-grade accuracy you control, without the need for ground control points.

Flexible

The eBee Plus offers a camera to suit virtually every geospatial application: the senseFly S.O.D.A. (supplied) for photogrammetric drone mapping, plus thermal infra-red & multispectral options.

Cameras & Accessories

Multiple cameras and accessories are available for the eBee Plus survey drone, so you need only invest in the configuration that suits your business’ needs.

senseFly S.O.D.A. (supplied)

The senseFly S.O.D.A. is the first camera to be designed for professional drone photogrammetry. It captures amazingly sharp aerial RGB images, across a range of light conditions, allowing you to produce detailed, vivid orthomosaics and highly precise digital surface models.

Parrot Sequoia

Parrot Sequoia is the smallest, lightest multispectral sensor ever released. It captures images across four defined, visible and non-visible spectral bands, plus RGB imagery, in just one flight.

senseFly Corridor

senseFly Corridor simplifies the drone mapping of linear infrastructure and sites. This integration kit houses the senseFly S.O.D.A. (supplied with eBee Plus) in a longitudinal, or portrait position, while senseFly corridor flights are managed via the corridor mapping mission block within eMotion 3.

senseFly SmartCharger

This intelligent device enables you to better manage your eBee drones’ batteries, for optimised performance and safer storage. Charge or discharge batteries to: 100% (Flight Charge), 70% (Storage Charge) or 30% (Shipping Charge). Can charge two batteries simultaneously.

Radio Tracker

If you are planning to fly your eBee Plus in extreme situations, such as in high winds, mountainous areas, out of line of sight, or over very large areas, this accessory is a useful final safeguard against unexpected aircraft loss.

What our customers say

The eBee Plus can cover most sites in just one flight and with its built-in RTK it is even more economical, saving us yet more time on the ground. These savings allow us, in turn, to cut our clients' costs significantly compared to a terrestrial approach.

Armin Weber

Co-Founder, Lerch Weber AG, Switzerland

The RTK/PPK-enabled eBee Plus has increased the efficiency of our operation tremendously over our previous multi-rotor UAVs. Its simple, easy-to-use flight controls, along with the reliability of eMotion, make the eBee Plus one lean, mean, aerial mapping machine!

Ross Kenney

Managing Director & Drone Pilot, Terradactyl GIS Mapping and Drone Services, USA

The eBee Plus allowed to finish a 2000-hectare surveying job in six days, when terrestrial surveying would have taken us nine months.
