Features
The EX-1 has pilot and people safety at the centre of the design. The drone hardware like frame, bait release,
flotation etc, are only one part of the safety. How the drone flies and regulates the pilot is an essential element in
assisting with the protection of your asset and the lives around you the user.
Double Water Proong – In total there are 3 air chambers. Main electronics chamber, Battery bay and camera
pod. Each has a water-tight seal. For additional protection, the ESC, PMU, BEC and GPS are sealed in Di-Electric
resin in case the main seals become damaged in any way. The RX and FC are in a secondary box.
Double flotation – The 3 air chambers provide level 1 flotation. The EX-1 is also lled with laser cut foam
buoyancy, level 2 of flotation and the landing feet also provide additional floats.
ESC cooling – ESC’s are vented under the prop wash to keep ESC’s cooler.
Quick Switch – The installed quick switch limits the need to open the battery bay. Between bait drops, the craft
is quickly switched on and off using the supplied switch.
Advanced vibration damping. The new FC has advanced software-based vibration damping to assist in a smoother
flying craft.
Multiple flight modes – many custom flight modes are available for advanced users.
App control – the supplied APP allows special flight conditions like phone control of landing and take-off. Circle
modes and follow-me modes. The APP is also able to modify all drone parameters wirelessly. Only for advanced
users.
New 10ch Radio – the new long-range radio is supplied with sand covers over gimbals and a protective cover on
the face plate switches to improve the overall weather resistance. Smaller push button and toggle switches have
been used to prevent damage. This new radio provides a full UAV data link for all flight info, but also allows for the
accelerometer and Gyro calibration without the need of plugging the system into a PC.
Video stream – The EX-1 is equipped standard with a 720P digital camera which has a video transmission of over
1500M. Drone legal distance is set to 500M, so the live video is easily visible on your phone. Camera settings like
brightness, Contrast and saturation can be adjusted from the APP. Recordings of bait drops can also be made on
the phone or tablet.
SONAR – The optional SONAR sensor will provide precise altitude control and prevent the drone from passing
a minimum set altitude level. This is useful for lure and bait trolling where the drone is pulled down due to the
resistance of the lure in the water - this is in development stage at present.
Radio batteries – 2 x Li-Ion 18560 batts are used for the radio which give in excess of 20 hours radio time.
New servo release – a new water-proof servo is standard.
Landing on water – the EX-1 can land and take off from water. Rough water will impact the ability of the craft
to take-off, as waves will interfere with the prop lift. Extreme care and after salt cleaning are required with salt
exposure. Metal parts in the motors will corrode and reduce the drone’s life if not treated properly. Intentional
landing on water is not recommend for everyday use. If the craft flips over in water, loss of radio signal is likely so
recovery of craft could be difcult.
