Drone-eco Pro/Drone-eco

Posted on October 11, 2021 by KUMBIRAI MATINGO

Based on products advertised and on offer from South Surveying.

Impressive is the ground control station software running on the integrated remote controller display. The survey-oriented flight plans and attentive safety control are tailor-made for drone pilots engaging in professional survey work. The well-balanced representation of aerial efficiency, mapping accuracy plus ease-of-use makes it a trustworthy UAV solution, yet it’s fairly cost friendly. Believe it or not, you will find it much easier to train drone pilots than ever said Engr. Mayuan, a Chinese specialist dedicated to survey equipment R & D for nearly 30 years.
