The Sony Remote Controller for Airpeak S1 Drone is an add-on accessory for the Sony Airpeak S1 Professional Drone & Gremsy Gimbal T3 Kit. Key features include:
Ergonomic remote with Futaba-type control sticks
Real-time control over the aircraft and gimbal
User customizable buttons with dual operator support
Compatible iOS device with Airpeak Flight app required
Customizable Pilot Comfort. The Airpeak S1 remote is a robust but lightweight handheld controller with Futaba-style control sticks, user customizable buttons for convenient access to drone, gimbal, and/or camera settings, and an HDMI output for external monitoring.
Airpeak Flight Platform. The Airpeak Flight app, available for iOS, pairs with the S1 remote controller, providing comprehensive monitoring and management of the aircraft, remote controller, camera, and gimbal. Flying without an iOS device with a current version of the app is not recommended.
Dual Operator Support. The Airpeak supports linking two remote controllers to a single aircraft and automatically assigns them as main and sub controllers (dual operation mode). You can control the aircraft with the main controller and control the camera and gimbal with the sub controller.
Built-in Battery. The RCR-VH1 is equipped with a 5100mAh 2S internal battery, providing approximately six hours of continuous use on a single charge. The battery recharges in approximately three hours with the included ac adapter.
iOS Interface Required. This controller is compatible with select iOS devices up to 9.8" wide (iPad Pro 11" maximum size), which is required to interface with Sony’s aerial system via the Airpeak app, but not included with this rental. If you need an iPad, you can find our available options here.
Realistic Wireless Expectations. While the Airpeak system is rated to send and receive wireless signals at distances up to 1.2 miles, performance varies greatly from one location to the next. In our experience, we’ve found that use at the maximum distance is generally unreliable under normal circumstances due to RF interference.
