Is my drone compatible?

The Air Module range makes the tether station work with the platform you already operate. Here are the airframes flown most often on an Elistair tether today.

What the tether changes on your aircraft

01

Fly for hours

Commercial drones average 20–30 minutes of autonomy, forcing constant battery changes. A tether removes the limit entirely.

02

Secured flight zone

Most drone accidents stem from signal loss, interference, fly-away or battery issues. The tether keeps the aircraft anchored and powered.

03

High flexibility

In many countries a tether is a recognized mitigation, enabling operations in areas that would otherwise be restricted or sensitive.

Drones in Action for Event Security

Field record

80,000 people, five points of interest, day and night

At the world’s largest music festival, G4S set up two operating sites with Elistair tether stations to hold continuous overwatch across five points of interest for the whole weekend. Same principle at the Champions League Final and the Ryder Cup, where the French National Police tethered their own drones rather than buying new ones.

Sovereignty, procurement and compliance

The tether station is European by design and by supply chain which is what makes it procurable where the airframe alone would not be.
