How it works
Simply stand at one corner of your field and hand launch the 6 pound CropCam plane. The powerful miniature autopilot does the rest navigating the CropCam in a pattern over the field. Both the CropCam and the camera perform automatically to take GPS based digital imagery. After the flight, the CropCam will land in the spot you started from.
For an overview on CropCam see Overview of CropCam by Greg Lewis, On-Demand Imagery Services
Required equipment such as Radio Control (RC) items, laptop and camera are not included. These additional items must be purchased separately. See Additional equipment list.
