Why the Tri?
In a market full of quadcopters, do you know Why the Tri is a superior design?
Efficiency
Our award-winning design has three rotors. This allows for larger rotors, resulting in more efficient operation and longer flight times. At the same time, the SwitchBlade-Elite uniquely folds into a compact storage that you can toss in the back of your car.
Ultra smooth motion
The pivoting rear yaw mechanism delivers crisp, powerful and smooth yaw authority. This translates to smooth hovering and turning for high quality images, superior data collection, and optimized cruise speed.
Versatility
Do you need stable hover capability for superior images? Or optimized cruise power for longer flights? What about multiple payloads for the same project? The Tri enables all that and more.
