M2000 Mapping VTOL
Made To Map
XAG have been the innovators of the agricultural drone market since 2013 and the M2000 VTOL mapping drone builds on their experience.
Customers wanted to map larger areas more quickly than conventional quadcopter drones would allow, and this was their answer. They combined the simple take-off and landing capabilities of their regular drones with the long range efficiency of a plane.
Imagine being able to map 533 hectares in one hour on a single battery charge, or to up that another way, that’s 5.3 square kilometres in 60 minutes, while covering up-to 86Km in distance.
These figures put the M2000 in a class of its own.
Simple And Accessible
XAG were able to pack all this performance into a drone that only weighs 3Kg. This means that more pilots can access it’s incredible mapping power with out resorting to a specialised, heavy weight, licence.
When you arrive at the work site, the M2000 can be ready to fly in 3 minutes. It’s vertical take off and landing (VTOL) ability mean you don’t need to look for a large clear runway.
The 90 minute flight time on a single battery means that you can be exceptionally productive in a very short time, making the M2000 ideal for large scale agricultural and forestry mapping projects.
Built To Be Flexible
The XAG M2000 has been designed to be as flexible as possible, with 4 camera options depending on the task at hand. Wether you need the standard high resolution mapping camera, a specialised 3D mapping solution, multispectral or infrared imaging, there’s a camera to meet the project spec.
The autonomous route planning can also be easily tailored to meet your clients requirements. Whether the project calls for standard mapping, oblique 3D photography or strip mapping, the solution is only a click away in the simple control app.

M2000 Safety
The XAG M2000 is all about BIG performance with MINIMAL risk. A drone that can fly 86Km on single battery needs to take safety seriously.
If one of the flight systems senses a fault, the drone will automatically switch between fixed wing and quadcopter flight modes and land safely.
If it detects interference with its GPS positioning, it will stop and hover until it recovers the signal. If the signal can not be recovered, the drone will return to its take off point and land.
With it’s dual 4G+WiFi data link, if either system is interrupted, the M2000 will automatically switch to the other link to continue control and image transmission.
The smart battery constantly monitors it’s remaining capacity and will automatically return to home when low.

M2000 Performance
It’s good to know that the M2000 has great safety features baked in, but you really came for it’s incredible mapping ability.
This lightweight drone, at 3Kg, packs a big performance punch. It’s low weight means that more pilots can access its performance without the need for a heavy weight drone licence.
Once you arrive at your take-off point, you can assemble the drone in 3 minutes flat. You’re then ready to start mapping at the rate of up-to 533 hectares per hour.
Your take off point must be suitable for safe drone operations but it does not need to be a large flat area.
The M2000’s party-piece, vertical take-off and landing capability, makes it great to use when space is tight.

M2000 Works
The M2000 combines BIG performance figures and safety features with equally impressive flexibility.
Choose from a range 4 high resolution, gimbal stabilised cameras.
The XCam 20MP offers DSLR quality images from its RGB 20MP 1 inch CMOS sensor. This is the “standard” workhorse of the range.
If your client needs 3D surveying, the XCam 26MP offers full oblique photography in 5 directions. With a 26MP APS-C sensor, this camera takes your images to the next level.
The XCam 20HIR combines a 20MP RGB and infrared sensor. Ideal for thermal mapping.
The XCAM 20MS camera features a 4 channel multispectral and 20MP RGB sensor for NDVI images.
