Customer reviews

The_Beck_Group_using_Pix4D_Crane-Camara.

“The biggest benefit of the Crane Camera is that it is a fully autonomous solution. It doesn’t require any human interaction, other than to consume the information. It’s really helpful, especially for people like us that have a lot of things on our plates.”

— Grant Hagen, VDC Manager, The Beck Group
