Why Use Surveying Drones?

Every few years, the geospatial industry undergoes a revolution. First, it was total stations, then came GPS, laser scanners and robotics. Now, professionals are adding another tool, surveying drones, which boast quick data collection times, excellent positional accuracy and a safe operator experience.

Applications

A surveying drone not only complements your existing terrestrial instruments. As operators around the world are learning, it also has the potential to help you expand your company’s services into brand new fields.
