Camera Settings and Gimbal Tuning
Professional drone pilot Craig Coker walks through common camera settings, tuning gimbals for best performance, and more tips to prep for flight.
Battery Hot Swap
Lean about battery hot-swapping to minimize disruptions to workflow and flight operations.
Field Testing
Iriomote Island is a national park located about 2,100 km south west of Tokyo, and is covered mostly by subtropical jungle. The island's untouched beauty makes it both an ideal spot for shooting with a drone, and a location with tricky flying conditions. For example, we flew the drone over the top of a waterfall and out past the basin to test Airpeak's capabilities when there is a difference in height, and also flew the drone through a mangrove forest to test how it would operate in situations where it could be difficult to pick up GNSS signals. The data and information we get from testing helps us to improve flight safety and stability.
Wind Resistance Testing
Wind tunnel testing at Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) enables us to see how the drone could be affected by strong wind, and up to what wind speed the drone could endure. Our test results showed that the prototype could maintain stable flight up to around 20m/s - a wind so powerful an average person would have trouble standing upright.
Airpeak’s propulsion system is optimized to ensure stable flight even in strong winds and features an ESC (Electric Speed Controller) designed for superior control, highly efficient and responsive 17-inch propellers, and lightweight, high-performance, high-power brushless motors.
Unveiling the Airpeak
Airpeak aircraft is unveiled at CES 2021 as a new product integrating AI and Robotics designed for creators. With Sony's Alpha™ mirrorless cameras, stable, dynamic remote shooting is possible.
