S110 RGB/NIR/RE camera
Congratulations on your purchase of the S110 camera, the advanced
payload for the eBee mapping drone that allows users to define their
own manual settings for better visual (RGB), Near Infrared (NIR), or RedEdge (RE) 2D and 3D mappings.
Note: This manual refers to versions 2.3 and later of the
eBee’s eMotion software. Check the software version in-
cluded in your eBee and consult the Release Notes for potential changes included in more recent versions of the
software.
Caution: The S110 camera has been modified to be com-
patible with the eBee drone. It is therefore not recommended to use it for other purposes than payload on a
senseFly drone.
