STRATUS

Autonomy & safety

Fly the shot. Not the drone.

Four flight modes handle the camera move; four safety systems handle everything that could go wrong while it does.

  1. 01

    Orbit

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

  2. 02

    Dolly

    A perfectly linear push or pull at a programmable speed, with no throttle wobble to clean up in post.

  3. 03

    Track

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

  4. 04

    Waypoint

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

  5. 05

    Geofencing

    Draw a hard flight boundary before you launch — the airframe will not cross it, wind or no wind.

  6. 06

    Return-to-home

    Loses signal or drops below reserve battery, and STRATUS retraces its recorded path to the takeoff point automatically.

  7. 07

    Obstacle sensing

    Six-direction vision sensing brakes or reroutes around obstacles in Orbit, Track and Waypoint modes.

  8. 08

    Battery failsafe

    At 15% reserve STRATUS forces a landing prompt; below 8% it lands itself, wherever it is.
