Features

Survey and map more for less

Feature 1

RGB optimized camera

eBee Geo comes with the senseFly S.O.D.A., a photogrammetry camera built for drone applications. It captures sharp aerial images to produce georeferenced orthomosaics, digital surface models (DSM) and point clouds.

Reduced delays and repairs

Easily make repairs in the field without stopping your project. The modular design of eBee Geo reduces downtime and maintenance costs.

 

If maintenance is needed, get your eBee Geo drone serviced locally, thanks to our global network of authorized service centers.

Safety eBee Geo

Safety

Impact tests proved safe flying around people.

No hard plastic part nor motor in the front part.

Safety protocols integrated into the flight planning software.

Expanded capabilities

Expanded capabilities

eBee Geo complements your surveying toolkit, elevating your professional capabilities. These are some benefits that the safe and reliable technology of fixed-wings brings to your operations.

Regulatory advantages

eBee Geo users benefit from operational regulation advantages not available to heavier drones above 2 kg / 4.4 lbs. It also has remote ID approved by the FAA.

Advanced operations

eBee Geo BVLOS flights are approved in Brazil, and Operations Over People (OOP) in Canada and in the United States. These advanced operations are essential to expanding your mapping capabilities.

Expanded capabilities

The eBee Geo regulatory advantages and the fact that it is ready for advanced operations demonstrate that the platform is reliable and can easily perform complex missions.

Customer Reviews

What our users say

“To get even close to the same level of detail as the drone, using terrestrial methods, it would probably take a single surveyor upwards of two to three weeks.”

Aidan O’Connor

Managing Director, ASM Ireland, Ireland

“The eBee allowed us to map in extremely harsh environments where it would have been impossible with conventional surveying. This meant the system paid for itself in one flight.”

Abbas Goli Jirandeh

Managing Director, Spatial Science Innovators Consulting Engineering Company, Iran

“The original goal was to capture high-res still images to check for defects, but when they realized we could get a 3D model – in effect a digital database of a structure – with the exact geometry of the object, that was something they were really excited about.”

Dan Gillins

Assistant Professor of Geomatics, Oregon State University, United States

Plan your mission

Planning your project is as easy as selecting the flight block type and the area you want to map, and the software generates the eBee Geo flight plan. You can choose your mission settings, like GSD and overlap, or let eMotion automatically optimize them.

Monitor and adjust your flight

From automating single flights to flying multiple eBees simultaneously, eMotion’s 3D environment helps you control the drone’s trajectory. You can easily activate the safety features in a single click or adjust the flight path and landing spot during flight.

Gather data with geotagged images

eMotion includes all the functionality you need to collect the geospatial data you require, such as automatically geotagged images, custom background maps, safety features, live air traffic, RTK / PPK, and weather forecast.

Export your mission for post-processing

The drone managing software connects wirelessly to your UAS, industry cloud solutions, base stations, and airspace data. Furthermore, eMotion prepares the images for post-processing software, reducing third-party software compatibility issues.
