Fixed-wing drones are a good option for anyone who is considering buying a drone to aid in surveillance operations. There are many options on the market. Here's a list of some of our favorites. From the Parrot Swing to the DeltaQuad Pro #MAP, these drones are designed for persistent surveillance. In addition to being capable of covering more than one hundred thousand acres in one flight, they're also equipped with a 61MP camera. This drone can also be fitted with thermal/infrared and RGB sensors. The drone can also transmit live HD video at up to 50km.
Hubsan H301S
This quadcopter is complete with the Hubsan H301S fixed-wing flying camera. The Hubsan H301S fixed wing flying camera has a 1080p HD resolution which is great for surveillance. It also features many safety features to ensure that your drone can be flown safely and without alarms. This drone has a range of about one kilometer, and a 30-minute flight time. The drone also features GPS positioning and a standing stop for extra safety.
Parrot Swing
Parrot Swing has a beautiful fixed-wing drone design and a multitude of sensors. The device measures speed, altitude, tilt, and impact on obstacles. The drone also comes with an ultrasound sensor for measuring distance to the ground, which is helpful for flyers who want to know the exact distance to land. However, the Swing may not be as sophisticated as its professional counterparts. Here are some things you can expect from the Parrot Swing.
Sensefly
SenseFly's newest fixed-wing drone is the eBee X. It can fly for 90 minutes, and 59 minutes by default. Its advanced flight technology can provide precision and accuracy to within 1 inch. Additionally, its rugged design allows for extended operations such a mapping large areas, or covering previously closed areas. This drone is equipped with eMotion flight-planning software. Users can enter parameters such wind strength to control flight. Users can then press 'Play' to 'launch' the drone. Once the flight is complete, they can view flight details.
XPlusOne
The XPlusOne Quadcopter is susceptible to wind-induced damage. The XPlusOne can fly in plane mode, which is a departure from most quadcopters. Instead of using control surfaces it uses differential thrust generated by its four propellers. This gives the drone a high angle of attack, which means that it's always near stall. Wind can also change the angle of attack, making the drone difficult to fly.
Opterra
Opterra's fixed-wing drone is a top-of the line model. You get 30 minutes of flight and a range of up three miles. The optional HD camera allows for 720p video recording. The Opterra can also be configured to fly FPV. Opterra is an excellent drone for aerial photography and videography. The drone costs only $399.
Sensefly X PlusOne Pro-Bundle
The Sensefly X PlusOne Pro bundle is ideal for beginners to remote-controlled aircraft. The drone is versatile and can fly as a quadcopter or fixed wing. It has a battery life of up to 20 minutes and is compatible with most GPS and gyro systems. It uses third party applications to control flight, and can follow waypoints leading to a destination. Open-source software is not as easy to use as commercial versions. The aircraft has a flight time of 20 minutes. It also comes with two extra batteries that can be used for additional flight time.
Sensefly X PlusOne
The SenseFly eXom is a great choice for commercial and professional use. The quadcopter is equipped with camera/ultrasonic sensors combos around its perimeter, which provide a broad range and context awareness. The drone's autopilot mode can be programmed to fly to the desired destination and map out the area to be photographed. After landing on the ground, pilots can quickly select waypoints, adjust camera angles, and then complete the analysis via the PC application.

This is especially true when you're just starting out as a pilot. You don't want get in trouble for being too afraid to take the plunge higher.
A second consideration is to examine the quality of the camera's sensor. The better quality of the images you are able to capture, the bigger the sensor.
You might also consider purchasing remote controllers. They help you track where your drone is in space and make it much easier to fly.
Finally, you'll want to consider whether you'd like to buy a fixed mount or a gimbal. Gimbals allow you to fly while still shooting. This makes it easier to maintain stability and allows for more movement. These are more costly depending on what you want.
