[COMMERCIAL UAV EXPO 2022] SONY

Hi my name is Eldene we’re at the commercial  UAV show here in Las Vegas and we’re showing  
off the Air Peak the Sony Air Peak the really  unique features of the air Peak is that it’s 100  

built by Sony the only thing that we don’t build  ourselves is the Grimsy T3 gimbal but this one  

is manufactured specifically for Sony cameras uh  with a unique interface that you have full control  

while you’re using the MPEG system so a couple  of quick specs on the air Peak we build it from  

the propellers to the propulsion system Sony’s  the largest sensor manufacturer in the world so  

there’s obviously many sensors on here we’ve got  stereoscopic on all sides so it’s an extremely  
safe drone to fly it’s also very responsive and  very fast one of the things with the stiffness  

of the propellers and the high velocity propulsion  system it’s very stable in very high winds so even  

if you get into a high wind situation the Drone  is not going to dip a balloon as it stays itself  

but it can actually balance and that’s good for  a number of different reasons which I’m going to  

get into the different applications into in a  second so the main function with using the air  
Peak is being able to integrate or into our system  with the alpha cameras right now we have a lot of  

different cameras that obviously have a lot of  different purposes so everything from the alpha  

one which can shoot up to 8K video 50 megapixel  Stills up to 30 frames a second then we have the  

Alpha One the 7s3 the fx3 those can all do a high  frame rate video with low light sensitivity so up  

to 120 frames per second 4K video obviously  everything in between it as well in intra and  

the beauty about being able to get that kind of  video in 8k or 4K is it can be integrated into  

workflows specifically in production so if you’re  in a Hollywood production and you’re using maybe  
a cinema line camera in fx3 and fx6 and fx9 you  can integrate that look and feel and the same  

color grading the same s-log picture profile for  instance distance from your aerial footage into  

the ground footage without any issues including  your lensing options which is really fantastic  

now for still photography we have the 61 megapixel  R series we obviously have the 50 megapixel Alpha  

One and those can be used for multiple purposes  either for photography but in a situation like  
we are at commercial UAV there’s a lot of  industrial applications so whether it’s tower  

inspection or architectural or infrastructure  inspection it could be a photogrammetry having  

a higher resolution camera gives you a lot of  other benefits so time is money it’s going to  

save you time because you’re going to take fewer  photos you’re going to be in the air for shorter  
periods of time you can go from side to side a  lot quicker because you’re taking fewer images  

at a higher resolution so you’re getting higher  quality higher resolution in shorter time space  

and that also means you’re stitching for your  files together so a lot of benefits with the  
different payloads so the benefit the main  benefit here is being able to switch those  

payloads out depending on your your use case on  your industry so whether it’s film and production  

whether it’s photography whether it’s commercial  or industrial use case the air Peak fits into all  
of these categories now quick talking about  the flight controllers we can have single  

op or dual op or even automated flight so in a  single operator you’ll have the Epic controller  

utilizing iPad with Sony’s software you can fly  using the fpb or POV camera and then control the  

attached camera that’s below by simply switching  between the two screens the beauty of having an  

integrated system with the with the grimsy and  the Sony is you have full camera control so it’s  
not a case of setting and forgetting setting  a position going out and letting your camera  

do its thing and then bringing it back and hoping  you get the shot you can actually go and do touch  
Focus there’s peaking displays you can do manual  focus uh you can then control your uh exposure  

or if you need a controls for instance your  aperture shuttle or ISO so there’s a lot of  

integrated camera control directly from the flight  application now the Dual dual Opera excuse me the  

Dual operation application would be utilizing two  controllers one would be controlling the aircraft  

as a pilot and the second would be controlling the  camera and then the third application would be an  

automated flight so you could set a mission uh  you could either a program emission or you could  
fly a mission and save it and then re-flight that  mission again and there’s multiple benefits for  

that let’s say I’m doing a tower inspection I can  have the admission set to go around a tower or if  

I’m doing a movie production I can have a blocked  out shot that we can fly that and see the mission  

and then tell the air Peak to go and fly those  missions automatically and while it’s flying in  

autonomous mode I can then control the camera so  a lot of benefits of doing either single operation  
dual operation or even automated flight with  an operator and then finally while we’re here  

we’re showing off some prototype units behind  me it’s a new rtk kit that we’re coming out  

with with antenna a module that fits onto air  Peak it’s Clips or it bolts on really easily  

you can simply upgrade your own air Peak at will  with a base station we’ve got an extended life  

batteries that are coming plus a battery station  which can store up to 10 batteries it can charge  

up to eight four at a time in sequence so you  can you know make make sure that you’re always  
optimized with fully charged batteries before  flight it has an intelligent system to decharge  

batteries as well for transportation so those are  new uh accessories that we’re going to be bringing  

to the market pretty soon so that’s it it’s LD  nodia from Sony air Peak here at commercial UAV
