Highlights
Agile flying performance and control that unleashes the potential of cameras
Capture impressive, dynamic images from an agile aircraft with intuitive control.
Expands possibilities in aerial photography
The aircraft estimates its location and attitude with high accuracy and recognizes surrounding space in real time by integrating information from sensors such as stereo cameras mounted in five directions on the aircraft (front, back, left, right, and bottom), IMU (Inertial Measurement Unit), compass, barometric pressure, and infrared ranging. This enables stable flight even under conditions where GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) signal reception is difficult, such as indoors or under bridges. Multi-directional sensors assist in obstacle detection and braking.
Streamlines workflows with automation
Create sophisticated flight plans with the web app “Airpeak Base.” Besides automated flights based on flight plans, you can use past flight logs to automatically fly the same routes you have flown.
System configuration
This product consists of the components described below.
For the system configuration when using this product in combination with the RTK kit (sold separately), follow the operating instructions accompanying the RTK kit.
Aircraft
A camera can be mounted using a 3-axis gimbal (sold separately; hereafter, “gimbal”)
Remote controller/dedicated mobile app “Airpeak Flight”
Install the “Airpeak Flight” App to your mobile device (tablet or smartphone) and attach your mobile device to the remote controller. After completing the process of linking the remote controller and aircraft, you can operate the aircraft, gimbal, and camera (the latter two both sold separately). On the “Airpeak Flight” App screen, you can check the flight distance and battery level, perform various operations, and change settings.
This data and information is synchronized between the “Airpeak Base” and “Airpeak Flight” Apps while your mobile device is connected to the cloud.
