The Survey3 is the newest in our line of simple to use survey cameras. Every Survey3 camera includes an external USB GPS receiver to automatically geo-tag each captured image. Its 12MP sensor and sharp non-fisheye lens allows you to easily capture high resolution non-distorted media. It can capture photos using an internal intervalometer timer or can be sent a PWM signal through the HDMI port (see below). If you supply power to the USB port it will power on the camera automatically. Sized similar to a GoPro® Hero these small survey cameras can easily be used in the field handheld, tripod mounted or attached to your aerial drone platform using our various mounts.

This Red+Green+NIR (RGN, NDVI) model sees Near Infrared 850nm, Red 660nm, and Green 550nm light. The images from this camera are commonly calibrated into an index image and then a colored lut is applied to show contrast between healthy and poor health vegetation.

The Survey3 cameras have a faster interval timer: 1.5 seconds for JPG mode and 2.75 seconds for RAW+JPG mode. (Capture speed depends on the speed of the microSD card used). You can also trigger the photo capture using a PWM signal through the HDMI port (see triggering information below). PWM can also be used to mount the camera's memory card to a computer connected via USB. An exposure strobe pulse is sent out of the camera with each capture allowing you to log them for PPK (post process kinematics).
