LiDAR
Qube 640
Field of view selectable to 176°
Co-developed with YellowScan, with an 8 MP RGB camera built in so the point cloud is coloured in flight rather than in a second pass.

Camera and sensor payloads
Trinity carries a hot-swappable payload bay, so one airframe covers LiDAR, high-resolution RGB and oblique 3D capture. AECA supplies and supports each of these.
RGB
Sony ILX-LR1
61 MP, 35 mm full frame
Covers 260 hectares in a flight at 1 cm per pixel. The general-purpose mapping camera for orthomosaics and topographic work.
RGB, medium format
Phase One P5
128 MP, 0.3 cm RMS XY
The accuracy option: medium format resolution to 0.3 cm horizontal and 0.8 cm vertical absolute, where the survey has to stand up to scrutiny.
3D capture
Oblique D2M
5 cameras, 130 MP, 1.5 cm at 100 m
Four oblique heads and one nadir firing together, so building faces and vertical structure are captured in the same pass as the ground.
Use cases
Infrastructure and surveying
Topographic mapping, corridor survey and as-built comparison over sites too large for a multirotor to cover economically.
Precision agriculture
Multispectral capture across plantation blocks for canopy health indexing and stand inventory.
Mining and earthworks
Repeat capture for volumetric calculation and surface-change reporting between dates.
Environmental monitoring
Wide-area capture over reserves, catchments and coastlines where ground access is limited.
