Drone UAV Accessories Tether Drone Power System for Long Term Filming
In today's rapidly developing technology field, tethered drones are undoubtedly a rising star. This innovative technology greatly extends the endurance of drones through tethering, enabling them to work continuously for over 24 hours, far exceeding the limitations of traditional drones that can only work for a few hours. This breakthrough not only significantly improves the efficiency of drones, but also brings revolutionary changes to multiple industries.
The application fields of tethered drones are extremely extensive, from high-altitude monitoring to precision reconnaissance, from efficient cleaning to emergency firefighting, and even to critical relay communication, they can play an irreplaceable role. This versatility makes tethered drones an indispensable part of modern technology, providing stable and efficient services for both urban management and communication support in remote areas.
1. Typical characteristics
Small size, light weight, easy to carry, the tethered box weighs only 9.2kg and can be carried on the back or by hand
Airborne power supply 880g< single Primary battery 1400g, safe replacement and lossless mounting
Replace a battery without changing any structure of the drone, and seamlessly switch between tethering or release
The operation is simple, and the entire process of unmanned aerial vehicle takeoff and landing does not require the operation of the mooring box, truly automatically retracting and releasing the cable
The onboard power supply has a constant voltage output, and the backup battery has no charging or discharging phenomenon throughout the entire process, without losing power or causing hidden damage
2. Functional characteristics
Follow the drone takeoff and landing to synchronously retract and release the mooring cable, and adaptively adjust the tension
Input overvoltage and undervoltage protection, output overvoltage, overcurrent, short circuit, over temperature protection, fault elimination and self recovery
The 4.3 inch touch screen displays data such as voltage, current, temperature, outlet length, date, time, operation records, fault records, and working status information
The display screen supports the setting and adjustment of wire collection speed, wire collection tension, wire release tension, safety meters, date and time, and supports switching between Chinese and English display
When the system malfunctions, the display screen scrolls to display fault information, and the fault alarm light flashes red and beeps to alert
Backpack design, capable of carrying on the back and carrying on the hand
