Overview
The Drone-eco / Drone-eco Pro series is a fully integrated UAV mapping system engineered for professional surveyors, engineers, and geospatial specialists. It combines robust aircraft platforms with high-end imaging sensors and a powerful software suite to deliver a seamless aerial mapping workflow from flight planning to final processing.
Both Drone-eco and Drone-eco Pro share the same mission: maximum mapping efficiency, accuracy, and reliability — but each is optimized for different operational needs:
Drone-eco
- Lightweight H-shape body
- Quick-release propellers
- Cost-efficient mapping performance
- Ideal for standard aerial photogrammetry missions
Drone-eco Pro
- Stronger X-shape body
- Foldable propellers
- Higher endurance
- Higher payload capacity
- Designed for multi-lens & multispectral payloads
- Maximum stability and wind resistance (Beaufort 6)
The system supports a wide range of payloads — from single-lens 24 MP sensors to full-frame 210 MP multi-lens oblique cameras and industrial-grade multispectral imagers.
Combined with Fly2Map Pilot, Fly2Map Manager, and Fly2Map Cloud, it forms a complete ecosystem offering mission planning, real-time control, PPK processing, and cloud-based project management.
This makes the Drone-eco series a top-tier solution for:
- cadastral mapping
- corridor mapping
- 3D oblique modeling
- urban planning
- agriculture & vegetation analysis
- environmental monitoring
- smart-city development
- digital twin generation
- mining, quarrying & volumetric analysis

South SF1200 Quadcopter Drone Kit
The South SF1200 is a heavy-lift survey quadcopter for LiDAR, oblique and RGB mapping. In South's flight test it hovered for 85 minutes without payload and 65 minutes with a 2.2 kg LiDAR, and it carries up to 6 kg. The kit comes ready to fly with the RC20 remote controller, the SC3200 charging hub and two batteries. Drone and LiDAR are controlled from one system, so you take off with one key and set no LiDAR parameters on a laptop first. Benefits More area per flight: 65 minutes with a 2.2 kg LiDAR in South's test. One-key takeoff with drone and LiDAR controlled together. Terrain following and forward radar obstacle avoidance for hilly sites. Cable-free mounts for LiDAR, 5-lens oblique or RGB cameras. Applications Airborne LiDAR mapping Oblique photogrammetry and 3D city models Corridor mapping for roads, rail and power lines Mining and stockpile surveys Forestry and terrain models
