6,035 meters, still connected.

We took the GS-ONE Radio Firmware Update to Carrizo Plain’s Soda Lake to see how far it could go. Read the full story of how our engineers tested and validated it in the field.

What’s in the update for the IF800 and IF1200:
📡 Smarter frequency selection: automatically switches between 2.4 and 5 GHz
🔇 Cleaner signal: 8 channels, positioned farther from Remote ID frequencies
🔁 Faster recovery: video and control bounce back if a dropout occurs

GS-ONE operators, your radio firmware update is ready 📡

Our engineers put it to the test. The radio now moves to quieter channels and pushes more power, so the link holds from takeoff to landing.

Updating takes one form. We’ll ship you the cable overnight, and our Customer Success team will walk you through the rest.

A spec sheet shows range in ideal conditions. Operators need a signal that holds from takeoff to landing.

When GS-ONE wasn’t delivering that, our engineers went to the field with our radio manufacturer to see it firsthand. Months of development, field validation with operators and an FCC recertification later, the GS-ONE Radio Firmware Update for the IF800 and IF1200 is here. Watch the engineers and operators who built and proved it. :movie_camera:

Smarter frequency selection. A cleaner signal. More power where it counts. And it’s free.

At 1.65 kg, the Teledyne OPTECH EchoONE is light enough to fly on the IF800 while still delivering up to 8 returns per pulse for canopy pe*******on and up to 1.5 cm vertical accuracy. Real-time georeferenced point clouds mean crews can verify coverage in the field before they pack up.

Built for land surveying, utility vegetation management, and transportation projects. 🌱

Lift more. Fly less. 👐
The IF1200 is built for multi-payload missions, carrying LiDAR, cameras, and custom sensors to finish more work in fewer flights. Built in the U.S. for professionals who measure results by time saved and data captured.

The IF800 Tomcat flying the Sony LR1 over the Central Coast, built for survey and inspection crews who need sharp, accurate data on every flight.

With IGC 1.6, LR1 operators now get roughly 10x faster geotagging, tap-to-focus right from the video feed, and one-tap gimbal positioning.

IGC 1.6 is now available over the air for controllers running IGC 1.2 or later. 👈What’s new:- LR1 geotagging that’s roug...

IGC 1.6 is now available over the air for controllers running IGC 1.2 or later. 👈

What’s new:
- LR1 geotagging that’s roughly 10x faster, with multiple flights processed at once (requires LR1 firmware 0.1.13 or newer)
- Tap the video feed to focus the LR1 or point the LR1 and Vio gimbals
- One-tap MAP and HOME gimbal positioning
- Redesigned camera controls with +/- buttons, a larger slider handle, and zoom on supported cameras

Aircraft, Vio, and LR1 units shipping on or after October 5 come with IGC 1.6 and the latest payload firmware already installed.
