The Manta’s modular tilting construction allows for quick replacement and assembly, resulting in a small, portable design that is easy to use. Reinforced carbon rods pre-embedded in the wings provide the ideal balance between low weight and high durability, reducing the likelihood of breakage. With a remarkable flight time of up to 85 minutes, the creative design allows for effective flight.
Users have a variety of power options thanks to the drone’s large battery compartment, which is compatible with 3S1p18650, 4S1p18650 and 3S1p21700 batteries.
The Manta’s four-link tilt construction with locking mechanism, metal tooth servo and all-metal rocker arm is one of its distinguishing features. Users can operate with confidence as this configuration provides exceptional impact resistance, minimal structural voids and streamlined maintenance.
The lightweight, high-density, environmentally friendly, innovative EPP material used in the Manta’s construction provides remarkable compressive strength, cushioning, thermal insulation, flexibility and drop resistance. Its toughness means it can withstand the rigours of flight and is easy to maintain.
In addition, the Manta has a multi-purpose equipment compartment that can transmit video in both analogue and high definition. The FIMI G21 Pro tri-axis gimbal camera can be supported by its excellent scalability, enhancing the drone’s filming capabilities.
The Manta’s versatility in terms of modifications, including foam pieces, is fascinating. Users are also encouraged to experiment with different customisation options and play styles via Xiaomi’s official open-source 3D printing designs.
Xiaomi’s Manta drone bridges the gap between the consumer and business markets, setting new standards for UAV technology. It allows customers to bring their personal devices to work with confidence, knowing that they are well protected from any security threats.
This groundbreaking partnership between Xiaomi and Microsoft enables easy integration of personal devices into work environments, ensures data security and equips businesses for future expansion. This collaboration heralds a new age in drone technology, as well as other areas, as the technology world embraces a future of adaptability, mobility and remote collaboration.
