Penta-DigiCAM

Penta-DigiCAM

The IGI Penta-DigiCAM has been an integral component of the IGI DigiCAM series since its introduction in 2008. This advanced imaging system represents a remarkable leap in technology, capitalizing on five distinct DigiCAM modules. Among these modules, four are strategically arranged in an oblique configuration, while the fifth module operates in the nadir position.

Description

The IGI Penta-DigiCAM is part of the IGI DigiCAM range since 2008. The Penta-DigiCAM is based on five DigiCAM modules, four of which are arranged oblique and one nadir. All GNSS/IMU and camera control units are integrated and mounted on top of the camera. The system is optimal for capturing of nadir & oblique imagery within one single flight.

This innovative system seamlessly integrates all essential components, including GNSS/IMU and camera control units, which are meticulously mounted atop the camera itself. This unique setup offers unparalleled efficiency, making it the ideal choice for capturing both nadir and oblique imagery during a single flight mission.
