The Seahorse EX-2 Cuta Copter Fishing Drone
The EX-2 has the pilot and peoples safety at the centre of the design. The drone hardware like
frame, bait release, flotation etc, are only one part of the equation. How the drone flies and
regulates the pilot's instructions are an essential element in assisting with the protection of your
asset and the people around you, the pilot.
Flight Controller – The EX-2 features the Pixhawk 4 Mini,
one of the most advanced flight controllers on the market.
The Pixhawk 4 Mini features a 32-bit ARM® Cortex® M7,
216 MHz Processor with 2Mb flash memory and 512kb
RAM. Breaking that down into layman’s terms - It Rocks!
The sheer speed data is processed results in supreme flight
stability, and this is especially noticeable when carrying
baits in high winds. In addition to the onboard
magnetometer and barometer, it has not one, but two
Gyroscopes, two compasses and two accelerometers! –
Feel assured of ultra-reliability as redundancy is built-in.
SkyDroid T10 Transmitter – This high-quality transmitter is fitted with sand covers over the gimbals
to improve the overall weather resistance. Flush mounted buttons and low-profile toggle switches
have been used to prevent damage. The 2 x 18650 lithium batteries provide greater than 20 hours
of radio time on a full charge. The T10 Transmitter also accepts telemetry data and live video feed
from the EX-2 which it passes onto the SkyDroid Tower App.
SkyDroid Tower App control – The Android APP displays a range of flight telemetry data including
battery voltage, distance from home and altitude. It also allows the user to plan and fly missions,
plus the App can control and change various functions, such as the flight mode.
The APP enables drone parameters to be changed wirelessly - (For advanced users only).
Water Proofing – In total there are 3 air chambers. The main electronics chamber which contains
the flight controller, the battery bay and the camera pod. Each chamber has a water-tight seal. For
additional protection, most of the electronics including the ESC's are sealed in Di- Electric resin in
case the main seals become damaged.
Double flotation – The 3 air chambers provide the first level of flotation protection. The EX-2 is
also filled with laser cut foam buoyancy providing the second level of flotation protection. The
landing feet also provide additional floats.
Quick Switch – The installed quick switch limits the need to open the battery bay between bait
drops, the craft is quickly switched on and off using the supplied quick switch.
