What cameras and lenses does the Airpeak S1 work with?
The Airpeak S1 is fully compatible with Sony Alpha series full-frame mirrorless cameras and the FX3, including models like the Alpha 1, Alpha 9 series, Alpha 7S III, Alpha 7R series and Alpha 7 IV. It also supports a range of select E-mount lenses such as the SEL24F14GM and SEL85F18, letting creators match the ideal setup for their application.
How much can the Airpeak S1 carry?
The Airpeak S1 can carry a camera system, including a gimbal, of up to 5.5 lbs (2.5 kg). When using the GBL-T3 gimbal, camera systems should weigh less than 2.5 lb, and lenses should weigh under 1 lb and be up to 100 mm in length to avoid contact with the landing gear.
How fast can the Airpeak S1 fly?
The Airpeak S1 offers a max speed of 55.9 mph (25 m/s), a maximum angular velocity of 180°/s, and an attitude angle up to 55°, all measured with no payload and the obstacle brake function disabled. It can also accelerate from 0 to 49.7 mph in approximately 3.5 seconds.
How long is the Airpeak S1's flight time?
Using Battery Pack LBP-HS1, the Airpeak S1 has a maximum flight time of approximately 22 minutes without a payload and about 12 minutes with a maximum payload. With the enhanced LBP-HM1 battery, flight time extends up to approximately 30 minutes without a payload.
Does the Airpeak S1 have obstacle detection?
Yes. The Airpeak S1 combines five-directional stereo cameras (front, back, left, right, down) with an infrared range sensor for obstacle avoidance, feeding data to a high-speed Vision Sensing Processor. Its automatic deceleration and braking functions can be enabled in both automated and manual modes.
Can the Airpeak S1 fly without GNSS or indoors?
Yes. By integrating information from its stereo cameras, IMU, compass, barometric pressure and infrared range sensors, the Airpeak S1 can perceive its real-time location and positioning with precision even in enclosed spaces or when out of range of the GNSS, ensuring stable flight.
Is the gimbal included with the Airpeak S1?
No, the installed gimbal, camera, and lens are sold separately. The Airpeak S1 works with two dedicated Gremsy gimbals — the GBL-T3 (T3 for Airpeak) and GBL-PX1 (PX1 for Airpeak) — that are compatible with Alpha series cameras and feature a quick-release mechanism for easy attachment.
How stable is the Airpeak S1 in windy conditions?
The Airpeak S1 can withstand wind speeds as high as 44.7 mph (20 m/s) without a payload, and can maintain stable flight in erratic upper-level winds and strong low-level canyon and coastal winds. Its dedicated propulsion system and remote controller work together to achieve optimal wind resistance.
What automated flight features does the Airpeak S1 offer?
Through the Airpeak Base web app, you can create detailed flight plans with Mission Flight mode, setting speed, position, gimbal direction and camera timing along a timeline. Repeat Flight mode re-creates a flight path from a previous log for flawless, repeatable shots, and Return to Home automatically brings the aircraft safely back if the battery is low or the signal is lost.
What makes the Airpeak S1 different from a regular drone?
The Airpeak S1 is billed as the world's smallest drone capable of carrying a full-frame Alpha series mirrorless camera, built for professional aerial imaging. It combines high-speed flight, advanced vision sensing, dual operation mode for separate aircraft and camera control, and cloud-based flight management through the Airpeak Flight app and Airpeak Base.
