The X4 is the latest unmanned, radio controlled, aerial vehicle to be launched in the UK by Air2Air.
The X4 is a state of the art helicopter featuring a revolutionary aerial photography system that can take high definition video and pictures pretty much anywhere. The most significant feature of the X4 helicopter is how easy it is to fly, it has advanced flight sensors to stabilise itself during flight.
The DraganFlyer X4 uses a quad rotor design for flight stability and control when you’re taking photos and video. It can carry up to 250g and has four interchangeable camera attachments including infra-red and low light video cameras, as well as a the Panasonic Lumix 12.1MP camera capable of 720P video and a Micro Analog Board Camera that can capture a range aerial imagery and video. You can also view videos and images instantly through the DraganEye video output goggles that are also transmitted directly to the wireless video base station or recorded on-board via built in SD cards or onboard DVR.
Magnetometers, Accelerometers, and a Barometric Pressure Sensor all work together with an advanced flight computer to allow you to concentrate on capturing perfect aerial pictures and video.
The DraganFlyer X4 also includes flexible, shock absorbing and quick release landing gear, counter rotating carbon fibre rotor blades as well as offering fast deployment, remote surveillance capabilities and low-noise brushless motors.
Anyone buying the X4 will get two days worth of training with an experienced pilot and a Military standard carry case to transport the helicopter. The DraganFlyer X4 can also be used for a range of photographic purposes including government, wedding, and nature spotting as well commercial purposes within the film media industry.
David Cooper, Managing Director of Air2Air comments, "What used to be only be possible with a passenger helicopter and a series of special aerial cameras and photographers is now possible with this small battery powered Dragaflyer X4. The DraganFlyer X4 offers a unique and revolutionary way to capture aerial imagery and video."
