7" FPV drones work well for lightweight scenarios and pilot training. Able to fly long distances and carry basic weights the 7" is a tried and tested platform with good flight characteristics.

Overview

The 7" is the natural step up from the 5". Larger propellers and bigger batteries give noticeably more range, endurance and lifting ability, while the drone stays compact, agile and easy to transport. It is a favourite for pilots who need real distance without moving to a heavy airframe.

Built in the UK, every Firefly 7" is assembled, tuned and flight tested before it leaves us.

Key Features

Long range: Efficient power system and long-range control links for extended flights.
1-2kg payload capability: Carries cameras, sensors and lightweight mission equipment.
Good flight characteristics: Stable and predictable at speed and in wind, and easy to fly for pilots coming from the 5".
Durable and repairable: Carbon fibre frame with replaceable arms and a modular layout.
IR and thermal ready: Supports thermal and infrared cameras for day and night operations.
Open firmware: Betaflight, iNav or Ardupilot, configured to your needs.
