SwitchBlade-Elite
The SwitchBlade-Elite is a versatile, professional tricopter drone built with industrial applications in mind. It is adaptable to multiple nadir-mounted payloads and a gimbal-mounted thermal payload. It is ideal for multiple industrial drone applications, like mapping, surveying, public safety, energy infrastructure inspections, and more.
With less than a 2-minute case to flight time, the SwitchBlade-Elite is quick to deploy when time is of the essence. It comes in a weatherproof Pelican case that has compartments for all your accessories and is easy to transport in a car or truck. The SwitchBlade-Elite is easy to fly and comes with mission planning software that does not require a subscription fee.
This UAS is also great for accessing hard to reach areas in rugged conditions. It has an autonomous range of up to 16 km (10 mi) and an IP52 rating.
The optional Indefinite Flight Package (IFP) allows you to charge extra batteries while you fly, allowing for back-to-back missions. We also recommend adding 1-day of training at Vision Aerial’s Flight Center in Bozeman, Montana and a Second Year Warranty.
Vision Aerial platforms are proudly designed, created, serviced, and supported fully in the USA.
