Drone Surveying Sensors

With Marlyn’s quick swap payload system you’re ready to survey in minutes.

Sony A6100

A great RGB camera for an even greater price! The Sony A6100 is a 24 MP sensor which provides GSD results as low as 1.96cm [0.8 in]. Fitted with a Meike 12mm wide-angle lens, it also provides fantastic coverage and is great for capturing oblique features for 3D mapping of urban sites.

Frequently Asked
Questions

Do you provide custom sensor integrations?
Due to the requirements of a fixed-wing drone, it is not possible to quickly integrate custom sensors for single projects. However we always welcome the feedback of our users for new sensor integrations, so feel free to get in touch with your suggestions and we will be happy to investigate its feasibility for current releases..
Can I use my existing Sony/Micasense sensor in my Marlyn?
If your existing sensor is either MicaSense RedEdge-MX, RedEdge-P, Altum, Altum PT, Sony RX1RII, A7R4 or A6100, you can purchase a 'sensor-ready' payload module at an additional cost on top of the base price. Get in touch with us directly or with your local reseller for more info.
What is included with Marlyn’s bundle?
The main components are: Marlyn VTOL drone (ready to fly), sensor including lens and accessories, Navigator planning and ground control software (+ unlimited updates), protective transportation backpack, two sets of flight batteries and a dual battery charger, radio modem to connect your laptop/tablet with Marlyn, remote control, user manual and in-field maintenance kit.
Are you planning to integrate different sensors in the future?
We continuously improve our platform through different R&D projects based on the feedback we get from the customers. Additional payloads, such as a LiDAR sensor or more cameras are currently in development (will be integrated in the future depending on the demand). Let us know if you have any specific preferences!
