Mapper 24S Drone Mapping Cameras (Assembled in USA)

U.S. Assembled and Shipped from U.S.

Lightweight. Built for Professional UAV Mapping.

The Mapper 24S camera now is assembled in the USA by UnmannedRC USA for customers who value local assembly, quality control, and responsive U.S.-based support.

Designed specifically for modern UAV mapping, surveying, photogrammetry, and LiDAR applications, the 24S V1 combines a high-resolution 24MP APS-C sensor with an exceptionally lightweight and compact form factor.

With a durable aluminum housing, flexible mounting holes on both the side and rear, and rear-accessible camera controls, the Mapper 24S is designed to integrate easily into professional UAV payload systems.

Assembled in the USA

The Mapper 24S is assembled in the United States by UnmannedRC USA.

U.S. assembly allows us to perform local inspection, configuration, and quality-control processes before the camera reaches the customer. It also gives U.S. customers a direct local point of contact for product support and technical assistance.

Our goal is simple: bring more of the product preparation and quality-control process closer to the customer.

U.S. Assembled • U.S. Quality Control • U.S. Support

Please note: U.S. assembly does not necessarily mean that every component or part of the camera is manufactured in the United States. Product-origin information may vary by component.

Designed for Lightweight UAV Platforms

At only 152 g, the Mapper 24S is designed for UAV applications where payload weight is critical.

Its lightweight construction allows operators to maintain greater payload flexibility while still benefiting from a high-resolution APS-C imaging system.

The compact 76.5 × 62 × 38.4 mm body makes it suitable for integration into a wide range of UAV platforms, custom payload systems, and professional aerial mapping configurations.

24MP APS-C Imaging

At the heart of the Mapper 24S is a 24MP APS-C sensor, providing high-resolution imagery for professional aerial applications.

The camera is designed for applications where image detail, payload weight, and system integration are important considerations.

Ideal applications include:

• Aerial mapping

• Photogrammetry

• Land surveying

• 3D mapping

• LiDAR + camera systems

• Infrastructure inspection

• Construction surveying

• Agricultural mapping

• UAV research and development

Flexible UAV & LiDAR Mounting

The Mapper 24S features integrated mounting holes on both the side and rear of the camera, giving system integrators additional flexibility when designing UAV payload systems.

The camera is particularly well suited for:

• 3-axis gimbal mounting

• LiDAR mounting

• Custom UAV payloads

• Fixed-wing UAV platforms

• Multirotor UAV platforms

• Custom aerial imaging systems

The flexible mounting design allows the camera to be positioned according to the requirements of different UAV and payload configurations.

Rear-Mounted Camera Controls

A key improvement of the Mapper 24S is its redesigned control layout.

All camera buttons are positioned on the rear of the camera, making camera settings easier to access during installation and field operation.

This is especially useful when the camera is installed inside a UAV payload or mounted to a gimbal. Operators can access the controls without unnecessarily removing the camera from its mounting system.
