The basic system includes the new payload quick release system, the Sony QX100 camera system, 2-axis brushless mount, digital video down-link, Draganfly handheld controller and everything you need to get flying.

Specially Designed for First Responders on a Budget

The Draganflyer Guardian is an affordable high-performance UAV solution for law enforcement, firefighting and emergency responders. Crystal-clear real-time data that’s proven to save lives, time and money. Our proven track record has made us the number one choice for law enforcement UAS systems.

Delivers Results

The flight system has a solid track record as a proven performer, developed from the ground-up by Draganfly Innovations. Although it\’s no bigger than some of our earlier models, Guardian features larger motors, larger battery, and a greater payload capacity with more sophisticated payload features that deliver high quality results.

Original Manufacturer

This is not a mass produced product stamped out of a production line but rather, a hand crafted aircraft built from carbon fiber and injection molded parts. In addition to the hardware engineering, at Draganfly we also design our own electronics and write our own software as well.

Learn and Enjoy

Whoever thought learning could be so much fun! Before you receive your aircraft, we encourage you to practice with the Lil Draganflyer practice system and take it slow running through the various flight drills described in the Guardian manual. When you\’re ready to start flying the Guardian, fly without a payload at first to develop your skills before flying with a camera payload system. The beauty of a helicopter is that you can learn to fly a quarter of an inch at-a-time.

Payload System Options

• The Guardian features our quick connect payload mounting system eliminating the need for cables between the helicopter and payload. The benefit is a quick and simple payload installation combined with a digital video downlink solution that provides excellent range with the Sony QX100, 20mp w/3.6x optical zoom payload.
• The QX100 is integrated into the system to provide remote zoom control and remote shutter, directly from the HHC. Take it even further by purchasing an optional GoPro Hero 3 2 axis brushless stabilized gimbal or a 2-axis stabilized QX100 camera mount.

And although they are relatively expensive the helicopter is very capable of carrying a FLIR thermal imaging camera for industrial inspections or search/rescue work.

SteadyFlight system

Both the hardware and software of the advanced SteadyFlight autopilot system was designed in-house by the Draganfly team. Featuring 11 on-board sensors the SteadyFlight system is constantly monitoring the alttitude of the aircraft and in real-time providing control and telemetry data to the handheld controller.

Data logging

Flight data logging is captured in real-time to a removable micro-SD memory card on the handheld controller and optionally on the base station computer when used.

Everything you need to get flying

This is a high quality Ready-to-Fly system designed and built in North America, constructed from Carbon Fiber and injection molded plastic.
