# Trimble ZX5 Multirotor Unmanned Aircraft System DATASHEET



# EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO CAPTURE RELIABLE AERIAL DATA Tested and proven, the Trimble ® 

### ZX5 Multirotor is built to execute tough, everyday jobs quickly, even in tight spaces. It requires no launcher, is easy to assemble and includes everything you need to capture high quality georeferenced photos for applications such as aerial mapping and inspections. Optionally, the system can be equipped to capture live video imagery for inspection applications such as civil infrastructure, utilities, and oil and gas pipelines.You’ll also find it offers simple field-to-office workflows, and integrates easily with other Trimble technology. It Goes to Work Fast so You Get in and Out Quickly The Trimble ZX5 sets up in minutes and comes equipped with an industry leading flight control system for unprecedented performance and precision. Its vertical takeoff and landing capability allows users to work in tight places and obstructed environments where fixed wing solutions are less suitable. And you can count on it to stay on the job, flight after flight, thanks to its proven and reliable design, rugged, durable chassis made from light, fracture-resistant carbon and the highest quality components available. Precise Data and Fast Processing The Trimble ZX5 Multirotor includes a 16 MP Olympus camera, allowing users to capture high quality aerial imagery and achieve ground sample distances (GSD) down to 1 mm for superior image quality. Import your data into Trimble Business Center Photogrammetry Module office software to create detailed orthophotos, digital elevation models, point clouds, volume calculation, 3D models and more without requiring specialized photogrammetry knowledge or experience. Or utilize the state-of-the-art Trimble Inpho ® 

### UASMaster module for advanced photogrammetric processing. The Trimble ZX5 is another accurate, reliable tool in Trimble’s family of UAS solutions. Fast to set up and easy to operate, the Trimble ZX5 allows you to quickly collect data in the field so you can generate the dynamic deliverables required for today’s jobs. 

## Key Features Outstanding flight stability and performance even in strong winds Includes a 16 MP camera system and flight planning software Resolution down to 1mm ground sample distance Light, compact, foldable carbon design Up to 20 minute mission duration and 2 km range Easy data processing in Trimble Business Center Photogrammetry Module or Trimble UASMasterSpecifications subject to change without notice.
