8 Motors for Extra Reliability

When a drone that uses only 4 motors loses an engine, the aircraft will immediately lose stability and come crashing to the ground. With the 8-motor configuration on the X8 you can fly with peace of mind, knowing that even in the case of a motor failure, the aircraft will stay airborne and maintain stable flight.

Optional Long Endurance Battery Setup Available 

The X8 comes with the Standard battery option, or the Long Endurance (LE) battery option available. The Standard battery option will give flight times of 25 minutes, while the Long Endurance (LE) battery setup increases your flight time by more than 50% to 45 minutes.

Utilizing the latest in battery technology, the Long Endurance battery weight is nearly identical to the weight of the Standard batteries, ensuring you still get to carry a full 8kg payload.

To select the X8 with Long-Endurance battery option, select from either the Starter Bundle with LE Batteries.
