Draganflyer Guardian
is a more powerful
version of the Shadow
featuring GPS position
hold, Altitude hold and
live telemetry back to
the controller.
The Draganflyer Guardian is a small, high quality helicopter constructed from carbon fiber and injection molded
plastic. The aircraft is sold as a “turn key” system with a rugged transport case and is Ready-to-Fly (RTF). The basic
system includes the new payload quick release system, the Sony QX100 camera system, 2-axis brushless mount,
digital video down-link, Draganfly handheld controller and everything you need to get flying.
SteadyFlight system:
Both the hardware and software of the advanced
SteadyFlight autopilot system was designed in-house
by the Draganfly team. Featuring 11 on-board sensors
the SteadyFlight system is constantly monitoring the
attitude of the aircraft and in real-time providing control
and telemetry data
data to the handheld
controller.
Data logging:
Flight data logging is
captured in real-time to
a removable micro-SD
memory card on the
handheld controller and optionally on the base station
computer when used.
Fail safe systems:
In the event of an excessively low battery condition or
lost data link condition the helicopter will “auto-land”.
System API:
For those looking to do more, a full Application
Programming Interface kit is optionally available
allowing you to control the aircraft from your computer
or whatever means that you develop.
