This paper analyzes the construction and performance of two representative types of drones used in modern photogrammetric measurements: DJI Mavic 3 RTK and senseFly eBee X. These aerial platforms integrate advanced positioning and image capture technologies, allowing the acquisition of high-precision geospatial data, with applicability in topography, cadastre, precision agriculture and environmental monitoring. DJI Mavic 3 RTK, a multirotor drone, stands out for its maneuverability and high precision at a local scale, being equipped with a 20 MP Hasselblad L2D-20c camera and integrated RTK system, which ensures a positional error of less than 3 cm. In contrast, senseFly eBee X, a fixed-wing drone, uses 24 MP cameras and RTK/PPK technology, offering an autonomy of up to 90 minutes and the possibility of mapping areas of over 500 ha in a single flight. The research results show that the choice of photogrammetric platform depends on the purpose of the project: Mavic 3 RTK is ideal for detailed work and small areas, and eBee X for large-scale mapping. Both drones contribute to streamlining measurement processes and increasing the accuracy of modern geospatial products. In addition, the integration of these systems into geospatial workflows helps optimize data processing time, reduce operational costs, and improve accuracy in applied mapping projects
