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
Crash in the sim. Not in the field.
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.
Matched physics
The sim quad mirrors the Sunchaser's weight, power band, and tune, so the muscle memory carries straight over to the real thing.
All three tunes
Rehearse Action, Cinematic, and Long Range before the drone ever leaves the case. Know how each one feels in advance.
Crash for free
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
Sized to the shot.
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.
SUNCHASER MK2
Cinematic Long Range
Tuned smooth, planted, and patient. Built for reveals, landscape runs, and long-form cinematic work where the shot lives in the glide.

Three Paths Into FPV
The other two never fit cinematic.
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.
