Gatewing X100

Trimble bought up Gatewing.

If I remember right the complete kit is around $75-$100,000.00. That included all needed hardware, software, accessories and even a few "extras".

It is unfortunate that these are currently restricted in the US unless you are a college/university or a research institution.

Wow! Very, very expensive toy!!!!

it is a cool idea to attach wings to a camera (and a prop behind) - that is pretty much what X100 is.

too sad Trimble has chewed it up.

🙁

Price is 96 000$ including hardware, software and training.

Trimble is not the only manufacturer of this technology. Although I cannot remember the names of the companies, there were at least two other companies promoting UAV's at the Esri UC this year.

have they added landing gear since last year?

No but a replacement body is "only" $2,000...

Can't they incorporate a parachute to deploy over the takeoff site at low altitude? (or is it just another ploy for $)
