Our aim is to be among the the leading European companies which perform aerial photography. We constantly extend our photography equipment, so we can provide our customers with the highest quality.
In 2006 and 2007, the GEODIS GROUP has put technologies for digital photography into operation, based on the VEXCEL UltraCam-X camera, which is so far the best available technology on the market.
This camera enables you to take vertical or oblique digital aerial images for special fields of image application, where the usage of big format surveying cameras is not possible or is uneconomical.
We use a wide range of cameras in our airplanes.

Aerial Survey Camera ZEISS LMK
LMK cameras produce aerial survey images in the format 23 x 23 cm, are equipped with a forward motion compensation device enabling sharp images from very low heights. Integrated exposure-meter manages the exposition continuously during flight. Gyro-stabilized suspension mount LMK 2015 ensures the verticality of the view even in turbulence. The LMK 30 objective is suitable for town residential area photography.
Digital Camera GbCAM
The construction of the digital camera GbCAM, which has been developed by specialists from our photogrammetry division, enables you to take vertical or oblique digital aerial images for special fields of image application, where big format survey cameras are not applicable or where it’s not economically feasible to use them.
Special projects
A thermovision camera can be placed in our airplanes for your special projects.
In cooperation with our partners we can also provide aerial laserscanning and radar photography.
