Hubblefly Staredge is an electric, small quadcopter system, fitted with a Sony Alpha A6000 camera, built specifically to meet the professional mapping and survey requirements for unmanned aerial systems. The quadcopter with its multiple failsafe features, heavy loading capacity and high flight performance , makes it a safe tool for beginners to advanced users alike. Staredge is sturdy, has very good stability and equipped with a folding-arm design for efficient portability. It’s crab-type landing gear and umbrella-type arms combine to enable a wide range of shooting angles and camera motions. Staredge provides adequate space for switchable payloads.
