Easy to Fly with Built-In Intelligence
The Stinger Vision FPV is a compact, ready-to-operate FPV platform built on ModalAI’s U.S.-made Blue UAS technology. Featuring MVX digital FPV transmission (VRX/VTX), it provides secure, low-latency, long-range video and offers AI-assisted flight modes that help new operators become confident quickly. Powered by the VOXL® 2 Mini compute engine, the system delivers computer-vision-supported navigation and stable HD FPV streaming.
A Drone and a Development Platform Combined
The Stinger Vision is designed not only as a mission-ready FPV aircraft, but also as a flexible development tool for future applications. Under typical operating conditions, the aircraft supports up to 12 minutes of flight time.
MVX FPV Video System
- U.S.-manufactured digital FPV transmission (VRX/VTX)
- Encrypted HD video (256-bit security)
- Compatible with HDMI FPV goggles and monitors
- Long-range performance tested up to 11 km
- Low-latency visuals of approximately 35–45 ms, depending on configuration
- Operates across 2.412–2.484 GHz and 5.160–5.885 GHz bands
- Supports up to three switchable FPV cameras: front EO, downward view, and optional thermal
- Controlled via dual 915 MHz ELRS Gemini radio system
Perception & Sensing
