Caution: Please note that the resolution of images taken by this sensor results in very large file sizes, which can lead to long uploading times.

What's more, the number of giga pixels (Gpix) consumed by the photogrammetry resulting from the data import is likely to be very high. This can lead to the defined capacity envelope being exceeded, and to additional costs. Please take this into account before any flight operation.

If you have any questions, please contact our Support Team.
