The cave quad 1.0 had a limited payload, and is designed as a race quad. The particular flight that these are designed for requires a stable and controllable platform which is resistant to light impacts with the walls, and can run into the ceiling safely.
It also needs to carry a lot of lighting and a large number of cameras and recording devices.
V2 was designed ground up for this purpose, 600mm prop to prop with 11" props for stability and payload.
- Lighting is provided by 3 sets of 4 parallel LED's driven at about 1A
- A single Flight camera facing forwards and looking down from near the rear of the quad to offer better perspective
- a recording camera located just under the main camera
- A gimballed camera on the front wit
h its own lighting rig with a tighter beam, - Protective cage to reduce the chance of clipping a prop
- DVR recording on the ground, in case the whole quad is not retrievable
- Parachute to make a freefall from 100m with a broken prop non-terminal
- In theory it also has an on screen display that will be recorded on the DVR
