Hi - I've been looking for a fixed wing for mapping golf courses for some time now with the end result an interactive 3d model. I was considering Lehman Aviation, Ebee, Precision Hawk to name a few however their pricing point for a one man start-up is out of my reach.

The full size UAV Maja and UAV Explorer for mapping seems to be a serious contender for the camera payload I'm looking to use upto 1000g either a single camera or multiple.

I would like to get you opinion on something and that's taking Oblique images with a fixed wing. This is an area that seems to be a bone of contention for me when determining to go fixed wing over Multirotor.

For the solution I'm looking for I will need to take a combination of Oblique and Ndair images in order to achieve a high resolution and detailed 3d model for use in an application.

Ideally I would like to perform this inflight using a 2 axis gimbal e.g. 90ø, 70ø and then 45-30ø however I cannot seem to fine one on the market that can do this. I can mount a GoPro to the top of the fusalage to achieve this or I can fabricate a EPP casing in the fuselage to position the camera at the desired angles as I would like to use the same high resolution camera in the fuselage.

Any ideas how this could be achieved as I have approach many suppliers of UAV fuselage however I keep getting fobbed off saying that they cannot help me as they only make fuselages !

Regards,

Warren
