Sky Drone FPV: Long Range Digital HD Video FPV Solution

[SkyDrone]

Sky Drone, a Hong Kong based start-up, has developed a revolutionary new way of transferring FPV video. Utilizing 3G and 4G/LTE networks, Sky Drone FPV is the world's first and only full HD Digital FPV video solution for consumers. The Sky Drone FPV groundstation software automatically adapts video transmission frame by frame to the available bandwidth, ensuring minimal latency. With the Sky Drone FPV groundstation app, users can receive real-time HD FPV video straight on their own Smartphone or Tablet.

Users have the option to connect the Sky Drone FPV hardware to a MAVLink compatible Autopilot Board like 3D Robotics APM. A Head Up Display (HUD) will be rendered on top of the live video stream, providing the pilot with real-time telemetry.

A unique feature of the Sky Drone FPV is the possibility to take 5 megapixel high quality still images during flight. The images are transferred to the groundstation app while the video keeps running uninterrupted. The Sky Drone FPV is not just limited to aerial vehicles. It can be used on ground vehicles and any other use case where real time video transmission is of benefit.

With Sky Drone FPV a new era of FPV is here! For more information, please head over to our Indiegogo campaign: http://skydrone.aero/fpv-indiegogo

Hi,

We'd like to give you an update on the latest developments of our Sky Drone FPV project.

As some of you may have noticed, we had some delays on getting the first Sky Drone FPV units out.

We made some improvements on the hardware side, for example instead of 3d-printing the Sky Drone FPV case, we switched to a professional molded case for better structural integrity, faster production process and of course better looks (see below).

By now, all hardware components for our first batch have arrived and are being assembled as we speak. Due to some slight hardware changes we still have to do adjustments on our version 1.0 firmware before it can be shipped. We expect to ship the pre-orders this June.

For all Oculus Rift Enthusiasts: after Oculus announced the new Dev Kit 2, we immediately ordered one and will make sure Sky Drone FPV will support the new High Resolution version immediately.

For those of you who wanted to watch The Pearl Report “Eye in The Sky” in which Sky Drone FPV appears, but could not watch it online due to territorial restrictions – it is now available on YouTube: http://youtu.be/MTr-hsYbw10?t=7m54s

Best Regards,

The Sky Drone Team
