Higher Payload, No Downtime


Simple Five Button Operation
No special piloting skills are required for operation, with Hoverfly’s unique five button system on the control center to control the drone on the tether from a fixed or mobile position


Power Over the Tether
Tethered systems receive power over a thin, long-range cord from our control station, which means no battery management to worry about and unlimited flight time.


Easily Transported
Many of our systems consists of very portable drones, optional landing pads, plus a control center in a hard case. This allows for quick set-up from anywhere and maximum flexibility for use on scene, in a vehicle or connected remotely.
