The Sunchaser Series · Pre-order
The cinematic FPV kit for the editor who doesn't want to learn Betaflight. Three pre-set tunes. Masterclass included. Zero soldering.
First Flight · One Tap
Every Sunchaser ships with our custom Betaflight fork preloaded. On your first flight you choose one of three tunes, dialed in-house by working pilots. No setup. No software to learn. Just fly.
Soft rates, glassy stick response, ND-friendly camera angle.
Best for: Commercials, reveals, brand work, sweeping moves.
Want to go deeper? The firmware is open. Re-flash, tweak, or build your own tune whenever you're ready. The platform never locks you out.
Practice · Liftoff
Every Sunchaser comes with a matched Liftoff flight profile. Load it into the sim and rehearse the exact feel of your drone, on the exact tunes you'll fly, before your first real takeoff.
The sim quad mirrors the Sunchaser's weight, power band, and tune, so the muscle memory carries straight over to the real thing.
Rehearse Action, Cinematic, and Long Range before the drone ever leaves the case. Know how each one feels in advance.
Bin it, reset, repeat. Learn your lines and your limits in the sim, not on a real airframe in the field.
Profile delivered with your kit. Liftoff: FPV Drone Racing sold separately on Steam.
Two Configurations · One Platform
The Sunchaser is a single plug-and-play system in two frame sizes. Same firmware. Same modular chassis. Same masterclass included. The only choice is what you came to shoot.

Three Paths Into FPV
Big-brand consumer drones lock you out of the cinema craft. DIY FPV teaches you to solder before it teaches you to shoot. Hovergrade is the third option.
The walled garden
The rabbit hole
The bridge

After the first flight
Stock kits land ready to fly. After that, every part of the Sunchaser is yours. Swap motors, props, cameras, frames. The firmware stays open, the chassis stays modular, the platform grows with the pilot.
“The only drones you'll need
for proper cinematic flight.”
