The swinglet CAM is an autonomous flying drone comprised of the following com-
ponents:
•Airframe: This is the main structure of the drone, made of durable EPP
(Expanded Polypropylene).
•Winglets: These structures add aerodynamic stability to the drone while it
is in flight.
•Ailerons: Used to control the swinglet CAM while in flight.
•Servo rods: Actuate the ailerons using the servo-motors within the frame
of the swinglet CAM.
•Propeller: Used to generate thrust while it is in flight.
Caution: When attached to the motor the propeller spins at high
speeds and can be potentially dangerous if it comes into contact with
exposed skin. Be sure to always keep your hands clear of the propeller
when the battery is attached to the swinglet CAM.
•Battery: The swinglet CAM is powered by a LiPo (Lithium Polymer) battery.
Caution: Proper care of your battery is essential. Please read section
‘Proper battery care’ on page 123 before using your drone for the first
time.
•Camera: The swinglet CAM features a built-in camera for taking aerial im-
ages.
•Data Link Antenna: Used by the drone to communicate with the eMotion
software through the USB ground modem.
•Pitot probe: This is the sensor used by the swinglet CAM to detect airspeed,
wind and altitude. It must be kept clean and clear of obstructions to func-
tion properly.
•Status LED: This coloured LED displays the current state of the swingletCAM.
Software features
The swinglet CAM package allows for the download and use of eMotion * and Post-
flight Terra LT * at no extra cost.
eMotion is the integrated software package that allows you to interact with your
swinglet CAM. Its easy-to-use interface allows you to plan a mapping flight intu-
itively from the comfort of your office or directly in the field. Once the drone is
launched, you can use eMotion’s wireless connection with your swinglet CAM to
track its position, monitor the progress of your mapping flight and send com-
mands if desired.
Once your swinglet CAM returns after an aerial mapping flight it is the turn of Post-
flight Terra LT to process the captured images fully automatically. While you are
still in the field Postflight Terra LT analyses the quality of the captured images and
generates an easy to understand report, letting you know immediately if the data
you captured meets your mapping requirements.
