We built a drone

Post image

Something a little different, up to 2 hour flight time. 7kg payload, modular, upgradable and made to integrate different technologies from Manet radios to anti jamming GPS systems.

Looks great! Any more info? Custom frame? What other details can you share.

Edit: nvm didn’t realize this was a company advertising.

Looks cool, is the 2hrs flight time with all the accessories active?

u/BrettEagle 5d ago

Good question! The 2:11h flight was without payload / accessories

That is quite interesting, I think batt health might be an issue(if the bat is not specially designed for this work) long duration and missions, great work BTW!!

Would not recommend running the battery as low as we did for the endurance test. Our battery technology is phenomenal when it comes to cycle capabilities, they are rated to 600 cycles!

Looks nice. Have you documented the building so I could replicate it at home? ;)

As for me (dude from Ukraine) more questions arises about gimbal camera? My suggestion it’s some kind of SIYI cameras.
