Features and Benefits

Kite

  • The Kite is built with an ultra-light 1.2 kg / 2.6 lbs carbon fiber frame providing a robust, durable, and transport-ready solution. It is also equipped with the emergency power supply for safe landing, in case ground power is disrupted.

Ground Station

  • The Ground Station is both a power supply for the Kite, as well as a high-bandwidth data connection for video and controls communication. Built-in Wi-Fi & 4G LTE modems are included for on-site and remote video streaming capabilities.

Tablet

  • A ruggedized and daylight-readable tablet runs the Fotokite Live app, which allows operators to control the Kite altitude and camera heading.

Video streaming

  • Real-time video is streamed to the tablet from the Ground Station, and made available remotely via a 4G LTE modem. Thermal video resolution is 320 x 240 / 27 fps. Radiometric feature can measure absolute temperature in range -40°C – 400°C, accuracy ± 5%. Low light RGB video resolution is 1920 x 1080 / 30 fps / 12 MP / 16x Hybrid Zoom (0.5x widest – 16x most zoomed).

IP55 Rated

  • Proven performance and reliability in everyday weather conditions, day or night. Fotokite Sigma is IP55 rated and operates regularly through rain, snow, and wind, allowing for uninterrupted mission feed.

45 m / 150 ft Max Height

  • Situational awareness is delivered down the tether from altitudes of up to 45 m / 150 ft. The system includes automatic altitude reduction if the wind surpasses the threshold to operate safely.

Advanced Cameras

  • Dual infrared and low-light RGB video is securely delivered down the tether. Thermal video resolution is 320 x 240 / 27 fps. Radiometric feature can measure absolute temperature in range -40°C – 400°C, accuracy ± 5%. Low light RGB video resolution is 1920 x 1080 / 30 fps / 12 MP /16x Hybrid Zoom (0.5x widest – 16x most zoomed).

Robust Wind Performance & Intelligent Redundancy
