With a built-in RTK+GNSS Dual Positioning System and a more intelligent and powerful "brain" - Super X4 Flight Control System, XAG® M500 Remote Sensing UAS leaps forward in both high-precision mapping owing to its centimeter-level positioning and real-time map generation. WiFi/4G dual-path ensures smooth communication at different distances and a safer flight.
Main Components 1. Propeller 2. Collision Avoidance Radar 3. 4G Antenna 4. Terrain-following Radar 5. RTK Antenna (one on the left, one on the right) 6. Arm 7. Motor 8. Landing Gear Fastener 9. 2.4/5.8GHz Antenna 10. Camera 11. SIM Card Slot 12.
RTK + GNSS Dual Positioning System with real-time centimeter-level accuracy delivers high-precision data to support various missions. The built-in 4G module enables the drone to be covered by the XAG Cloud RTK network, ready for operation without an additional portable base station. With the handheld terminal accessing the XAG Cloud RTK network as well, high-precision positioning is guaranteed by differential data transmission via WiFi/4G dual-path.
HD map by combining the results in the cloud/Feitu/local server. Upon automated field boundary/crop detection via XAI Smart Agricultural System, the map can be imported to an XAG agricultural drone for autonomous plant protection. A built-in 1 inch 20MP CMOS sensor brings about high-resolution imaging while the mechanical global shutter sees that photos are free from distortion, fuzziness or rolling shutter effect.

Install Camera Align the white dot on the camera plate with the "unlock" mark on the chuck. Turn the camera plate clockwise until the white dot is aligned with the "lock" mark. White Dot Note Please switch off the aircraft before fitting/removing the camera, or it may cause damage to the components. Please switch off the aircraft before inserting/removing SIM card and SD card.
Install Battery Insert the battery as shown below until you hear a click. Note Please make sure that the battery is firmly inserted before the flight. Otherwise, it will result in sudden power loss during the flight and cause an accident. Beware of the travel switch when handling and storing the battery separately.
Smart Battery With 6 high voltage lithium polymer power batteries and a BMS module, C500 Smart Battery, specially designated for M500, provides real-time information such as voltage, current and temperature as well as charging protection. It gives immediate feedback to the load side during use. In case of battery low or failure, it will send an emergency stop signal initiatively to ensure the electrical safety of the load side.
