⚡ At a Glance
- • Image Quality: 4K/60fps HDR video combined with a 1/1.3-inch CMOS sensor captures more light and finer detail for clearer images.
- • Best for: Travellers and casual creators wanting compact, regulation-friendly aerial footage without complex setup.
- • Not ideal for: Professional cinema projects that require long continuous flights, heavy payloads, or advanced production workflows.
A 1/1.3-inch sensor and 4K/60fps HDR deliver high-resolution clips. A 3-axis gimbal keeps footage steady while sub-249 g weight preserves UK regulation-friendly status.
Cinematic, stable footage - with 3-axis gimbal stabilisation
A mechanical 3-axis gimbal compensates for pitch, roll and yaw during manoeuvres to keep the camera level. Stabilisation smooths out handheld-like shakes when flying at low speeds or following subjects.
Smooth, shake-free clips make walks, hikes and small action shots look far more professional, reducing the need for time-consuming stabilisation in post-production.
Bright, detailed imagery - with 1/1.3-inch CMOS and 4K/60fps HDR capture
The larger 1/1.3-inch sensor gathers more light than typical small-sensor cameras, while 4K at 60fps with HDR preserves a wide tonal range and motion clarity.
Clearer sunrise and sunset footage, and sharper stills for social sharing, even when lighting is challenging.
Confident control at distance - with RC 2 screen remote and 13 km video transmission
RC 2 includes a high-bright screen for framing without a smartphone, while long-range video transmission maintains a live feed up to 13 km under ideal conditions.
Reliable framing and a stable live view make it easier to explore coastlines, hills and open countryside while keeping control and composition in check.
