About the Sony Airpeak S1
Unleash your aerial creativity
Sony is launching into the skies with the Airpeak S1, bringing years of experience with cameras and the movie industry with them. They’ve engineered their first quadcopter from the ground up with aerial photography and cinematography in mind.
This drone flies fast and smooth with a suite of manual and automatic flight modes. And it has the distinct advantage of being able to take any of Sony’s popular Alpha full-frame mirrorless cameras airborne. Now videographers can use their favorite Sony cameras to capture breathtaking footage from high above.
Dedicated gimbal (sold separately)
You’ll need a dedicated accessory, the Gremsy Gimble T3, to mount a camera to the Airpeak S1. Once mounted, you can directly control the gimbal and camera with the included remote controller. You can also fine-tune the settings of the camera and lens while in flight for impressive aerial precision.
Flexible camera and lens options
The Airpeak S1 is the lightest drone on the market that’s capable of carrying and controlling a compatible Sony Alpha full-frame mirrorless camera. It’s also compatible with select E-mount lenses for a wide range of kit combinations. Pilots have a ton of excellent tools on the table to choose from with the Airpeak, like the Sony Alpha 1, which offers stellar 8K video quality and 50.1-megapixel stills.
Robust controls and mission planning
The included remote controller can mount tablets or mobile devices with screens up to seven inches. Pilots can then control the drone and connected payload with the Airpeak Flight mobile app. In concert with the secure Airpeak Base web app, you can plot out preset flight routes and launch them whenever you’re ready with Mission Flight mode. These routes let you provide detailed instructions down to camera settings and positioning. You can then review prior flight logs, adjust your routes, and re-run them at will with Repeat Flight.

Intelligent, stable flight
The drone has a powerful vision-sensing processor that integrates data from five-way stereo cameras, infrared range sensors, and more to establish real-time spatial awareness in all directions. This helps it detect and avoid obstacles with automatic deceleartion and breaking. With the Airpeak SI, you can confidently navigate enclosed spaces and even areas outside of the range of GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System).
Before each flight, the aircraft performs a full systems check to warn you of potential issues and prevent a problematic launch. It also runs these self-checks mid-flight, initiating an emergency landing automatically as needed. If the battery is low or signal is lost, Return to Home (RTH) automatically brings the drone safely back to you. RTH even generates a route that bypasses restricted airspace automatically.
Partner up
Two heads are often better than one. You can gain even more control of the Airpeak S1 on a mission with a teammate. Dual Operation Mode lets one person pilot the drone using the FPV camera while another controls an attached gimbal and camera kit. This mode requires two remote controllers, but getting started is easy. Whenever two controllers are connected they are auto-assigned to the pilot and camera operator.
