Overview
Garudeus Scout is a folding 595-gram quadcopter built for serious creators, realtors, and Part 107 commercial pilots who need more range, more wind resistance, and a larger sensor than a sub-250g platform can offer. Triple-axis stabilization, omnidirectional obstacle sensing, and a 40-minute flight time make it the daily-driver of the Garudeus line.
Mission Profile
- Commercial real-estate and architectural cinematography
- Wedding, event, and editorial videography
- Surveying small parcels for agriculture or construction
- Search-and-rescue volunteer operations
