STRATUS S2 · professional cinematography drone

The sky,
composed.

A 3-axis-stabilized cinema camera on a 249-gram airframe — 8K/60 imaging, 46 minutes of flight and 15 kilometers of clean signal, engineered for operators who compose the shot before they ever leave the ground.

01 / AIRFRAME

One monocoque. Four struts. Zero excess.

A carbon-and-magnesium airframe built from as few parts as physics allows — every gram accounted for, every strut load-tested to failure before it ships.

CARBON MONOCOQUE · 249 g

02 / GIMBAL

A horizon that never tilts.

The 3-axis gimbal isolates the sensor from every gust and correction, so the shot stays level while the airframe does whatever it needs to.

3-AXIS · 1/1.3" SENSOR

03 / RANGE

Fifteen kilometers of clean signal.

Dual-band transmission holds a locked, low-latency feed to the edge of line of sight — bank, sweep and chase without a single dropped frame.

15 KM · O³ TRANSMISSION

Imaging system

Every part of the chain, engineered for the shot.

1/1.3" sensor

8K/60 with a native dual-gain ISO switch — clean highlight roll-off in open sky, usable shadow detail under tree cover.

3-axis isolation

The gimbal decouples the sensor from every correction the airframe makes, so pans stay smooth even while the drone fights a crosswind.

Dual-band O³ link

Automatic band-hopping keeps the downlink locked at up to 15 km — a clean monitor feed, not a compressed preview.

Autonomy

Four flight modes. Zero stick time.

Orbit

Locks a radius around any subject and circles it hands-free — the classic reveal, timed to the frame.

Dolly

A perfectly linear push or pull at a programmable speed — no throttle wobble, ever.

Track

Follows a moving subject at a fixed distance and height, correcting for turns automatically.

Waypoint

Plot a flight path on the map; STRATUS flies it exactly, repeatably, shot after shot.
