OVERVIEW

Easy to fly and simple to operate, the X8-M can take off and land even in the tightest areas, which 

makes the vehicle compatible with just about any type of terrain. And because the X8-M can fly at 

low altitudes and at slow speeds, it can capture images with a level of detail and precision that’s 

impossible to acquire with manned flights or satellite imagery.

The X8-M package includes a Canon S100 high-resolution 12 MP camera and the powerful image 

processing tool, Pix4Dmapper Mosaic 3DR Edition, to create highly accurate, georeferenced and 

orthorectified mosaics. Pix4Dmapper Mosaic 3DR Edition works specifically with the X8-M imaging 

system only. The X8-M ships in a custom-designed hard-top travel case to keep all the 

components of the mapping system protected and easily accessible, ensuring that you're always 

ready to map. X8-M stitches images only from the camera included with your 3DR mapping 

aircraft, including the Canon SX260 and S100. It is not compatible with GoPro cameras or other 

camera types not included with the 3DR Aero-M and X8-M.
