Introducing the Sky Drone FPV The World’s first low-cost,
low-latency, digital full-HD consumer FPV solution that
utilizes cellular networks. Complete with HUD, On Screen
Display, a new era in FPV emerges from the sky. Sky Drone
FPV consists of a hardware module you put on your
multicopter/plane and a groundstation software that provides
the live video feed, on-screen display and more.
Digital High Definition Video
The Sky Drone FPV system uses a high resolution camera with
a wide dynamic range. It provides you with an amazing live
video feed of up to 1080p.
Unlimited Range
By using existing 3G or 4G/LTE networks, the Sky Drone FPV
systems provides you with virtually unlimited range. The
only requirement is cell tower coverage.
Oculus VR Support
We support the Oculus VR/Rift system to allow for a fully
emmersive FPV experience. This includes support for the
Headtracker to steer a camera gimbal unit when attached to a
MAVLink compatible autopilot board.
Low latency Video
By using our own optimized proprietery video transfer codec,
our system was designed and developed for the lowest
possible latency from scratch. Other than existing digital
video solutions we achieve a latency similar to analog
solutions with a typical end-to-end latency of less then
150ms.
Groundstation Software
The Groundstation software runs on Android and Windows,
providing you with clear HD video and status information +
Head Up Display if connected to a MAVLink compatible
Autopilot.
Interchangeable Lenses
The Sky Drone FPV using high quality lenses that are
interchangeable. Instead of locking you to a specific lens,
you have the freedom to change the lens for specific use
cases (wide angle lens for best overview or narrow FOV
lenses for artistic flights with less distortion).
Future Development
Features that we will add via free software update:
– Take HQ Still-images via photo button on Groundstation
– iOS / BlackBerry support
– On-Device Video recording
– AES-256 Encryption
– More Groundstation Features to come.
