From Manufacturer
For professions and organizations that need speed, longevity, and power, the IF1200A Commercial Hexacopter Heavy-Lift Drone with GS-ONE Remote from Inspired Flight checks all of the boxes in a more compact frame than similar UAS solutions. The IF1200A can fly up to 56 mph, for up to 43 min., carry loads up to 19.1 lb, and resist winds up to 23 knots. Whether you're attaching cameras, LiDAR, or essential equipment and supplies, the IF1200A is ideal for everything from powerline inspections and mapping to emergency response and a variety of governmental missions. Keeping this kind of drone compact, Inspired Flight uses a dual propeller system, which overlaps propellers by alternating each arm with either a top- or bottom-mounted blade.
GS-ONE Remote Controller
Pilot the IF1200A with the included GS-ONE controller. This remote features a large 7" touchscreen with a 2000-nit brightness for daytime use and viewing what the drone sees without requiring a smartphone. The video transmission range of that view is up to 6 miles. With the GS-ONE, you have more freedom in where and when you pilot the drone. The IP55-rated enclosure is both water and dust resistant, and the included hot-swappable battery can last up to 5 hours on a charge. The remote also offers customizable buttons to suit your personal piloting style.
Universal Payload Interface
Workflow is streamlined and productivity is optimized for nearly any type of mission, thanks to the universal payload interface that assists communication between your chosen payload, ground control system, and flight controller. When it comes to payloads, the IF1200A supports an assortment of optical, EO/IR, and LiDAR devices.
Universal Mounting Rail
Providing sturdy payload mounting, the 0.5" diameter booms are mounted 5.9" away from each other, center-to-center.
Flight Modes
- Position Hold: Automatically holds altitude and position, but position can be manually changed if needed
- Loiter: Holds altitude and position with precision manual movements possible using GPS
- Auto: Executes a pre-defined waypoint mission

SAFE Drone System
Drone safety is paramount, which is why Inspired Flight implements the SAFE drone system. In the event of a motor failure, the IF1200A will seamlessly transition into a manual flight mode, alert the operator, and immediately land.
Dual Latching GPS
A pair of GPS units is implemented to increase navigation accuracy, but it also serves as a convenient carry handle when the batteries are not installed.
