The Eagle has landed!
ASPRS,
Milwaukee,
May 2nd,
2011.
At ASPRS, Vexcel Imaging launched UltraCam
Eagle, the latest large format digital aerial
camera in the
UltraCam
line. The Eagle surpasses all other digital aerial
cameras to create a new generation representing
advanced optics, advanced electronics and advanced
storage. The Eagle continues the award winning
design principles of the earlier
UltraCams
and together with its global leading
tech-partners, Vexcel Imaging has pioneered the
next generation of sensor (CCD), optics and
shutter systems to develop, not just the next ‘new
thing’, but a
radical innovation
in aerial imaging. Read more
