Overview
Full-Frame Alpha. 55.9 mph. 30-Minute Endurance.
The Sony Airpeak S1 is engineered around one mission: putting a full-frame Sony Alpha mirrorless camera in the air with the speed, stability, and endurance that professional production demands. Quad 17″ propellers and high-powered brushless motors deliver 55.9 mph top speed and 0–50 mph acceleration in 3.5 seconds. Up to 30 minutes of flight time without payload and a 5.5 lb payload capacity give cinematographers and enterprise operators the performance window they need for demanding aerial missions.
