Tac Aerial Avata 2 Hammerhead (Drone Only)

The Tac Aerial Avata 2 Hammerhead is a heavily-modified, duty-ready version of the DJI Avata 2 FPV drone and features the following:

• 2000 out-the-front lumens
• 1200 lumens on the bottom

Gone are the days when you forget to charge your drone lights or have to turn on each light individually, the Hammerhead's integrated light kit draws power from the Avata 2's onboard battery, eliminating the need to remove and charge lights separately. In situations where seconds matter, all of the lighting can be turned on by a single unified switch, reducing takeoff time to seconds. Operators can also leave the switch in the "on" position, so the lights fire up as soon as the Avata is started.

Main Features:

NO EXTRA BATTERIES - The Hammerhead is designed to take the full voltage of the drone battery (17 volts) making it easy to run the lights for the entire duration of every flight.  

FULL OUTPUT - LED drivers provide full brightness for the entire flight - no step down in power. The Hammerhead's chassis has integrated heatsinks built-in, providing efficient cooling without the risk of overheating regardless if the Avata is airborne or stationary with no airflow.

SIMPLE SWITCH - Large, tactile on off switch only functions if the battery is powered ON - a failsafe of the Avata 2 battery. Activation of the LEDs is impossible if drone is powered OFF

RELIABLE PARTS - Aluminum chassis and heatsinks machined in Canada, CREE COB LEDs, MEANWELL LED Drivers

WHY WE MADE THIS ACCESSORY?

The DJI Avata 2 is an incredibly reliable service drone, and its capabilities are extended when it can see in the dark. Additionally, the downward facing LED makes it possible for the optical sensors to function in the dark, position-hold, navigate, and land without the need for GPS. 

WHY NOT A STANDALONE FLASHLIGHT? 

During testing and while flying many batteries in rapid succession, we found that the small flashlight add-on systems (sometimes velcro'd on) that are widely available were not sufficient to sustain multiple flights without having to recharge, or swap the lights out completely. Additionally, because of the size of these small lights and their batteries, the light is programmed to "step down" their light output as battery life decreases. This results in a drop in illumination part-way through the flight. 

The DJI Avata 2 has become a staple in law enforcement, disaster recovery, and search and rescue. Deployed in situations where it may be too risky to send humans or animals, the Avata 2 can work in the tightest and most austere environments. Tac Aerial takes the entire Avata 2 ecosystem to the next level by adding critical enhancements and modifications to extend usability, increase interoperability, and operator and system safety. 

The Light Kit is placed in optimal locations to minimize air flow disruptions and provide the highest amount of light for the optical flow sensors to work in light- and GPS-denied environments. Flight time is reduced by only 4 minutes with all lights on, in a static hover test.
