UAVs (Unmanned Aerial Vehicle) are gaining significant popularity for commercial and industrial aerial imaging. The days of expensive helicopter and airplane aerial filming are numbered. With the growing popularity of UAVs and ultra hi-def cameras, dull aerial images have become a thing of the past.
Choice of Camera
Some imaging UAVs ship with cameras “built in”, others ship with the option of the operator choosing a camera system that suits their needs. Pro Sky Video’s DJI Inspire 1 UAV comes with the X3 Ultra High Definition camera. The images and recordings from the X3 are stunning, vivid and beautiful. Filming including the Sony Exmor sensor in 4k Ultra HD captures video at four times higher than conventional HD. 12 megapixel still photos are captured at 4000×3000 dpi resolution. And the Zenmuse 3 axis gimbal which attaches the X3 camera to the UAV keeps the photos and video ultra smooth and stable, free from wind and motion vibration.
