0871 244 0934Drone cameras and payloads help you capture clear aerial images, detailed surveys and useful site data from the air. Discover DJI Zenmuse options for LiDAR, mapping and high-resolution photography, alongside a waterproof SwellPro gimbal camera for aerial filming. Compare sensors, lenses and aircraft compatibility to find the right setup for the work you want to capture.
For detailed aerial mapping, sensor quality can make a real difference to the data you bring home. The DJI Zenmuse P1 pairs a 45MP full-frame sensor with a three-axis gimbal and interchangeable fixed-focus lenses. It’s designed for photogrammetry and supports 24mm, 35mm and 50mm DJI DL lenses. Choosing a drone camera with the right sensor and lens can help you match image detail and field of view to the size of the site.
Different jobs need different drone payloads. The DJI Zenmuse L2 combines LiDAR with an RGB camera, so it can collect point-cloud and colour data during a survey. It has a maximum point-cloud rate of 1.2 million points per second with multiple returns. Its two scanning modes also suit different jobs: repetitive scanning focuses on even, accurate coverage, while non-repetitive scanning can collect more structural detail through vegetation.
Compatibility comes first when building an aerial imaging setup. The Zenmuse P1 and L2 work with selected DJI Matrice aircraft, including the Matrice 300 RTK, Matrice 350 RTK and Matrice 400. Mounting positions can also vary by aircraft. Check the supported drone, gimbal port, lens and firmware before ordering. This simple check can save a costly mismatch later.
