The Dark Matter hX is our flagship hexacopter, easily transportable in a IP67 flightcase. It has a long flight endurance (up to 55 minutes with no payload), an excellent wind tolerance (up to 12m/s) and a wide operational window (can fly from -20°C to +45°C and in light precipitation).
Being a multi-rotor, the Dark Matter hX takes off and lands vertically, so it requires only a small flat area to operate from.
The Dark Matter hX has a quick-release payload system and can accommodate several types of cameras (RGB or IR with different levels of zoom, multispectral), usually fitted on a 3-axis gimbal. The maximum payload weight is 6kg.
When fitted with our preferred flight controller, the standard positional accuracy is up to 10 cm vertically and up to 40 cm horizontally. The system uses both GPS and GLONASS. The RTK option gives a position accuracy of about 1 or 2 cm.
The Dark Matter hX can be flown by a pilot but also can follow a flight path autonomously in GPS navigation mode that the operator can define with the help of the associated Ground Control Software.
As an option, the Dark Matter hX can be flown on a tether of up to 100m in altitude.
Its unique modular design ensures compatibility with a wide range of payload options and allows us to fit or retrofit exciting upgrades and options.
