The CropCam offers images on demand and is an inexpensive alternative to satellite or flying an airplane over a field. It can provide images for agriculture, forestry, oil & gas, surveys, mapping, land management drainage, environmental, and a multitude of other uses.
The CropCam is under $10,000 USD, highly efficient and user friendly for the commercial market. It is a radio control (RC) glider plane equipped with a Pentax digital camera, controlled by an autopilot, along with pre-programmed ground control software. Available in electric, the CropCam will also work with a RC transmitter for manual control of the plane.
The CropCam utilizes an autopilot for navigation and control of the camera, for everything else it is RC parts (wings, servos, propellers, glow fuel or batteries) purchased locally. This makes the CropCam parts practical and accessible worldwide. Furthermore, the CropCam lends itself easily to the establishment of a Dealer System due to ease of use, minimal training required, and locally available RC parts. We are seeking CropCam dealers worldwide and have a Dealer Program in place.
Based in Stony Mountain, Manitoba, for more information contact CropCam at (204) 344 5617 or by email at info@cropcam.com.
