Intuitive control
The drone maintains its position and altitude independently and can be intuitively controlled without prior training. All settings and software updates are carried out via your smartphone’s touchscreen. If you want to limit the Mantis Q’s radius of action, you can easily do this with a virtual fence: and at the push of a button, you let the drone return to the launch point and then land automatically.
72 km/h top speed!
The drone not only brings back beautiful memories – it’s also a lot of fun! In Sport mode, the drone can reach top speeds of 72 km/h all while flying with the agility of a real racer. The live image can be viewed with a latency of less than 200 ms on your smartphone, which is connected to the remote control.
For indoor & outdoor use
You can check the current location of the drone at any time via a map displayed in the app (map display requires an Internet connection). Its favorite environment is open terrain - however, thanks to IPS and ultrasonic sensors, the Mantis Q can be flown safely and stably at speeds of up to 15 km/h in indoor environments where neither GPS nor GLONASS satellites are available for positioning.
Face detection & instant sharing
Whether you travel the world in a camper or make the Mantis your daily companion, the Instant Sharing function allows you to post your photos and videos directly from the app to social media so that your friends can get a glimpse into your adventures. Just smile at your drone if you like –if activated, the face detection let it take a picture of you as soon as it “sees” your face in a distance of up to 4m.
