Looking for a drone with a big payload? You found it! Our M8FD is the perfect balance between payload and flight time. Use this heavy lift drone for moving equipment, or to carry large sensors or payloads. How about flying for 40 minutes with your payload! Think of all of the work you can accomplish covering a ton of area with precision and a reliable aircraft. Don’t trust your precious payload to some homemade drone… buy something proven that will protect your assets, lessen the pilot stress and most importantly – accomplish the job with less time and money!
The M8FD heavy lift drone has massive 30″ propellers allowing it to remain stable in heavy winds and higher elevations. Like all of our Commercial Heavy Lift drones, the M8FD also has a quick-swap payload system. You can easily flip a latch and swap cameras, spot lights, megaphones, or even payload delivery devices (logistics, couriers delight!) Lower a first-aid kit to a stranded person, or bring the tools up the hillside where your truck can’t make it. Or lug around whatever other heavy equipment you need.
Of course, we’ve included all of the drone safety tech like redundant motors (if one fails, the aircraft can still safely land.. a big deal to protect your payload), automatic return to home, and a fully automatic drone ground station for comprehensive flight planning. All backed by 100% U.S. based warranty, training and support!
