ABOUT
The Fotokite Pro is a tethered flying camera system designed for reliable and safe flight with a quick setupto-shot-ready time. The professional Fotokite version has been designed for customers requiring access to
bird’s-eye perspectives with unparalleled ease of use.
Thanks to unique patent-pending technology, the Fotokite may be launched in seconds (cold-start) without
calibration, radio checks or waiting for GPS lock. Once in the air, it is remotely controlled from a smartphone
or tablet. A live low-latency Full HD video downlink enables effective framing and live broadcast over both
HDMI and USB 3.0.
Flight is sustained as long as power is provided from the ground. A small backup battery guarantees safe
landing under all circumstances.
