Camera questions, distortion, wide angle

[MrOlaf]

I'm looking to see if there are any quadcopters on the market that can take digital photos comparible to a stand point and shoot camera. Meaning the photo is not distorted for wide angle. I would like to use this for measuring swimming pools for safety covers. Since they use the images to gather measurement information, distortion from wide angle lenses would ruin that process. Right now they recommend using a point and shoot camera all the way zoomed out standing on a ladder to help get the entire pool in the image. Getting high up with a drone just seems to make sense. Also the company refuses images taken with a cell phone for some reason (I think they check the image data for what took the picture)
Sorry if this was long winded. Any info would be helpful

Thanks

Go pro with a 5.4mm or 4.2mm lens will not have the fish eye. It is pretty easy to remove the stock lens and replace it. I am filming with a go pro with a 4.2mm installed, and it is wonderful. There are machines that will carry the larger point and clicks too. Dji makes a few quadcopter that come with cameras that do not have the fish eye and will allow you to point and click.

Here is a screenshot from a video shot with a go pro 4 black with the 4.2mm. (Shrunk to be able to upload) The box behind me is my inspire lol. It was delivered while I was out flying my hex
