The AL3 S1000 Copter is a complete ready-to-fly aerial package for the AL3 LiDAR system. This system is ideal for low altitude, line of sight surveys. The S1000's V type mixer design provides large amounts of propulsion while improving power efficiency. Combined with the DJI A2 flight controller, it's guaranteed to remain stable even with the loss of a rotor. All eight arms can be completely folded down and the folding propellers can be tucked away, minimizing the S1000's size for transportation. To fly, simply lift the frame arms up, lock them into place and power up the system. This greatly saves on pre-flight prep time. Weighing approximately 4kg with a maximum takeoff weight of about 11kg, the S1000 can easily carry AL3 LiDAR payload for up to 15 minutes.
