Compact multi-sensor survey drone in a forest setting
Owned · maintained · flown by us

Our fleet: DJI Matrice 4E.

The flagship intelligent multi-sensor compact drone, purpose-built for geospatial work in surveying, mapping, construction and mining — and owned outright by Drone East Africa.

Why we own our fleet

Consistent equipment, consistent results.

Rental aircraft change between jobs, and so does the data. Our own Matrice 4E fleet is calibrated, maintained and tested by our team, so every survey is flown on identical sensors — which means your maps and models stay comparable over time.

Three-sensor imaging

A 4/3″ 20 MP wide camera, 48 MP medium-tele and 48 MP tele in one aircraft.

Centimetre RTK accuracy

1 cm + 1 ppm horizontal positioning for georeferenced, survey-grade maps.

Built for the field

49-minute endurance, 12 m/s wind resistance and a −10 to 40 °C envelope.

Maintained in-house

Regular checks, firmware control and pre-flight validation every mission.
