OUR BEST LiDAR PAYLOAD FROM THE 1000 SERIES, NOW AVAILABLE ON OUR NEW AIRFRAME: EasyOneLiDARUHR & UHR Lite

SMALLER, SAFER AND EASY TO USE

Built upon our 4th-gen drone technology, all EasyOne systems are more compact, more optimized, lighter, safer and more efficient. This system delivers integration unmatched in the drone surveying industry, making it easier than ever for you to plan, fly, collect, process and visualize your geospatial data projects.

EasyOne is Easier to Transport

EasyOne features a significantly smaller operational form factor with the same payload capacity of the md4-1000 platform. In addition to a smaller operational form factor, the EasyOne packs down even smaller, fitting the drone, remote, charger, two batteries and the payload into a protective storage case that’s small and light enough to bring anywhere.

Pictured left: Gone are the days of needing a larger vehicle to transport your drone surveying equipment. The EasyOne drone packs down into a protective case that is 31.69” x 15.94” x 15.75” (805 mm x 405 mm x 400 mm)

EasyOne Is All in One.

The improved controller is completely integrated with mdCockpit. No more connecting a tablet to your remote!

NEW! First person view in flight video display

mdCockpit is integrated directly on your RC screen!

EasyOne features an entirely new controller design that provides an enhanced user interface and powerful safety features, such as Real Time Terrain Follow.
Combined device and integrated remote control- the RC and display are one integrated control unit.

FPV available directly on the remote

High level command of the drone without using the sticks on the remote

LESS IS MORE: The new EasyOne drone platform is smaller than competitive drones able to carry survey grade LiDAR equipment. It's easy to pack in a small vehicle, easy to carry in the field and easy to use on every project.

This is a new beginning for the Microdrones aircraft platform. It fits in a case that’s less than a foot and a half wide. The mdCockpit mission planning screen is fully integrated into the RC. All sensitive onboard electronics are designed, manufactured and assembled in the USA and Germany. All this, yet it's just as powerful as our legacy drone platform.
Frank Darmayan
CTO

WHAT IS REAL TIME TERRAIN FOLLOW?

Real-time terrain follow uses the LiDAR payload to follow the terrain in real time.

During the flight, the LiDAR payload evaluates the terrain in real time below the UAV and reports the ground distance to the UAV.

The UAV uses that ground distance value to follow the desired height.

This allows the highest quality of data collection on the market, while adding a level of awareness and safety.

NEW FEATURES FOR BIG SAFETY & PRODUCTIVITY BENEFITS

A NEW BATTERY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM FOR SMART SURVEY AND GEOSPATIAL PROS:

EasyOne includes a new Battery Management System that enables easy charging. Via a single connector, plug it in, and charging starts automatically if required.

Throughout battery maintenance and charging, the battery state is indicated via LEDs on the battery.

The EasyOne checks all the boxes that our customers have asked for when it comes to a versatile and more compact drone surveying system. The LiDAR sensor provides very dense, point-rich data, with highly effective vegetation penetration. The set-up was straightforward, especially with the new payload quick-connect feature. Plus, the size alone makes it much more convenient for transport, especially when you’re working in isolated areas. It even fits under the tonneau cover in the back of my truck.

5 Reasons Why Professionals will Make the mdLiDAR1000UHR OR UHR part of their geomatics workflow:

Drones can Lead to Better Worker Safety

Easily tackle projects in areas that are difficult, dirty or dangerous to access – such as challenging terrain, crumbling structures, high elevations, and areas impacted by natural disasters.

Save Time, Money and Hassle by Deploying a Drone

Collecting data previously required extensive groundwork or very expensive manned aircraft. Using a drone allows quick and affordable data collection; that’s one of the most important benefits for geospatial professionals.

Integrated Drones = Interruption-Free Data Collection

Survey live construction or mining sites without interrupting people, plans or machinery. You’ll no longer have to stop work and equipment to collect the data you need, making you more valuable to your customers.

Technology Thought Leadership and Practical Field Leadership

Customers are curious about UAV surveying technology – so providing it demonstrates that a business is an industry leader at the helm. Faster, more efficient data collection differentiates you from competitors and positions you as a subject matter expert in an emerging technology.

Microdrones Offers Unmatched Training, Education and Support

Our professional UAV pilots offer complete onsite Microdrones UAV training to both dealers and end-user customers to ensure they are fully capable of deploying their drone packages in the field, ready to achieve immediate results.
