Our Aerial Equipment

At Vertech Imaging we understand that each job presents it's own unique set of circumstances and client requirements vary significantly. Our range of fixed wing and multirotor Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS) has been chosen to cover a wide range of applications from video and still photography to mapping, photogrammetry, inspections, surveys and precision agriculture. Details of our current fleet are shown below, however, note that we are constantly adding to, modifying and tweaking our hardware

Fixed Wing Aircraft for Technical Work

Observer VTOL Hybrid

PURPOSE: Aerial mapping or tasks requiring video capability, eg. search & rescue, security, conservation.

ADVANTAGES Dual operator capability for video (gimbal has pan/tilt control).
Rotary wing components can be removed in 5mins for fixed wing-only flight. The resulting weight saving allows larger battery to be fitted and increased flight duration

X-8 VTOL

PURPOSE: Aerial mapping and payload delivery

ADVANTAGES: Vertical take-off and landing capability. PPK equipped for cm precision mapping. Fuselage can accommodate 2 axis gimbal for stabilised and oblique mapping, or other large payload. Very efficient aircraft with long flight duration

Eve-2000

PURPOSE: Aerial mapping or tasks requiring video capability, eg. search & rescue, security, conservation

ADVANTAGES PPK equipped for cm precision. Very efficient, ultra-long flight duration and range. Fuselage space can accommodate dual sensors, 2 axis gimbal or lidar unit

Skywalker 1830

PURPOSE: Aerial mapping.

ADVANTAGES: PPK equipped for cm precision. Easy and safe hand launch. QX1 option provides a large and stabilized sensor which is both compact and lightweight. Oblique mapping capability

X-5 Pro

PURPOSE: Aerial mapping.
ADVANTAGES: PPK equipped for cm precision. Robust and rugged, easy and safe hand launch. QX1 option provides a large and stabilized sensor which is both compact and lightweight.

Discovery Trainer

PURPOSE: Flight training, recreational flying, FPV (First Person View) flight

ADVANTAGES: Gentle flying characteristics, ideal for fixed wing flight training. Fully automated take-off and landings are possible with rangefinder installed
