HERCULES 5 UF
UNLIMITED FLIGHT 24/7
The Hercules 5 UF is connected to a Smart Power Station on the ground for an Unlimited Flight Time
Frame
The 100% carbon frame and anodized aluminum fasteners make the Hercules 5 ultra-shock-resistant.
PLUG & PLAY GIMBAL - MERIO, THERMAL, ZOOM
The most complete gimbal on the market. Designed for use in inspection and surveillance missions. The gimbal is equipped with a MERIO TOURELLE thermal camera with x4 digital zoom and an optical camera with x30 zoom.


Foldable arms
The Hercules 5 is equipped with a system of 4 foldable arms which can be securely locked.
Smart Power Station
The HERCULES 5 UF is connected to a Smart Power Station on the ground. A thin cable connecting the two provides the energy required for an Unlimited Flight time, resulting in a 24/7, real-time aerial surveillance up to 263 ft (80m) high.


Winglet propellers
The Hercules 5 uses Winglet propellers made of carbon fiber which makes them particularly strong and lightweight. Their curved tips limit the creation of vortices, and improves both the efficiency and the positioning of the drone. Furthermore, they reduce the noise as compared to standard propellers. The integrated folding mechanism allows for easier transport and storage in transport cases
DV CORE Flight controller
The DV CORE flight controller uses a state-of-the-art microcontroller is entirely programmable and customizable.
