System agnostic

According to the company, LaQuinta houses all necessary hybrid sensor technology (GPS, Irradiance sensor, IMU, Altimeter and internal battery) around the camera enabling it to function completely system agnostic. It is therefore applicable on all types of UAVs able to carry a payload of 140gr/ 5oz and multi-compatible with widely used software solutions such as Pix4D Mapper, Agisoft Metashape and Skyline TerraExplorer.

By partnering with equipment and software providers that complement the technology, DB2 Vision says it is able to provide the end-user a complete solution.

The LaQuinta is available worldwide and costs around € 2,000.
