MADE TO DELIVER:
RELIABLE TOOLS FOR TOUGH JOBS

Surveying, land development, infrastructure inspection, environmental monitoring, precision agriculture and public safety are done more efficiently and effectively with the help of Microdrones solutions. Learn more about where to use Microdrones UAVs in the Industry Experts section.

MAPPING / GIS / SURVEYING

Geomatics professionals can complete surveying and mapping projects more easily and safely with a Microdrones system. Fully integrated drones allow you to plan, fly, process and visualize, quickly capturing field data and transforming it into effective 3D models, orthomosaics and topographic maps.

INSPECTION

A Microdrones integrated system can access hard-to-reach structures more safely and efficiently. Industry-leading flight times, durability in weather, and resistance to electromagnetic fields make us the choice of professionals.

CONSTRUCTION

Construction professionals are putting Microdrones systems to work in the field every week. From surveying sites efficiently, to measuring materials or monitoring progress, integrated drone systems will help you to plan, fly, process and visualize. Before the heavy equipment starts moving dirt, use a Microdrones system to pan the work!

PRECISION AGRICULTURE

Microdrones packaged systems are revolutionizing agriculture. Our integrated drone systems help farmers save time while more effectively monitoring the health of crops and livestock, while collecting the information needed to apply water, pesticides, and fertilizers more efficiently.

SECURITY

Consider Microdrones to help protect civilians from threats. Our drones are simple to use and can be deployed much more quickly and inexpensively than manned aircraft.

MINING

Achieve more safety, efficiency and accountability. From surveying mines efficiently, to measuring material, Microdrones integrated drone systems plan, fly, process and visualize your assets. Safer than conventional surveying, your big machines can keep working uninterrupted, while the drone gathers data from above.

PUBLIC SAFETY

Rapidly deploy in almost any weather to safely examine emergency scenes, collect information, locate victims, and even drop critical help tools such as an inflatable rescue device. Achieve greater speed, better safety, and a more complete situation overview.

SCIENCE & RESEARCH

Gain a highly accurate aerial perspective without disturbing the environment being studied. Our impressively quiet Microdrones UAVs are the perfect tools for gathering data and images you need to achieve your research goals.

UNMANNED CARGO

At Microdrones, we’re setting the standard for delivery drones. Our systems operate with incredible power and endurance in tough conditions. When the regulations allow for drone delivery, we’re ready.

ENGINEERED FOR PROFESSIONALS, BY PROFESSIONALS

The Microdrones heritage of German engineering is carried through the entire aircraft design, resulting in industry-leading flight times, incredible resistance to harsh conditions, and smart integration.

Rain and Heat Resistant

The Microdrones molding process keeps electronics and wiring protected from the elements. Our system is resistant to rain, sand and salt, so you can fly in harsh conditions.

Failsafe Motors for Minimum Downtime

Brushless, low RPM motors and large props work seamlessly for the life of your airframe. In 10 years of operation, an md4 customer has never reported a failure related directly to our motors.

Stable Flight for Precise Results

Our micro-controlled drive system instantly responds to changing winds to maintain the proper flight attitude. For mapping, stable flight delivers more accurate and precise data.

Robust Housing and Components

Robust carbon fiber construction makes easy work of an occasional rough landing. Carbon fiber also insulates interior components so you can fly at more extreme temperature and humidity levels.

A Plus for Stability and Endurance

Our plus sign (+) shaped configuration is more practical. With a motor on the front, the rear and each side, the airframe remains more stable in level flight and during turns. With less energy being consumed for stability, the extra power goes to carrying heavier payloads.

mdOS for Efficient Code Customization

Microdrones created a lean, proprietary operating system and used that as the foundation for a flexible autopilot, so you can customize it to meet the specific needs of your mapping project.

Plan, Monitor and Analyze in the Field

mdCockpit tablet version allows you to plan, monitor and analyze your mapping mission. It contains all the tools you need to quickly set your flight plan and waypoints with a few flicks of the finger.

Tested for High Voltage Fields

Those who intend to fly their Microdrones UAV near power lines can do so with confidence, knowing our quadcopters were rigorously tested for interference up to 380 kV in the high-voltage laboratory of the Technical University Dresden.
