Swinglet CAM: DIY Drone Aerial Photography

If anyone is sorting out a Digital Urban Christmas List, then please add the Swinglet CAM and mark it with a little star for high priority.


With a 30 minute flying time, 12 mile range, 12Mp camera and ability to follow preprogrammed GPS tracks this is one of the best local air photography tools we have seen.





The Swinglet omes with all necessary components for operation: rechargeable battery, charger, radio modem, remote control (for experts of remote flying only), and software for flight planning and monitoring.

  1. Would be interesting to know if it is possible to get IMU data so you can use imagery in Socet Set without GPS ground control points.

    You don't need GPS ground control points - it'll give 10cm res Imagery at 150m altitude - you send the data off to a same day processing team associated with swinglet (for a small fee) who stich and georeference the imagery based on the embedded GPS data.
    They'll even do a 1m DEM model for you and provide a fly though KML of the flight
