On Board Dual RTK
The Autel Robotics Dragonfish is equipped with 2 RTK modules for added redundancy. By integrating the GNSS Base Station with the RTK modules, the Dragonfish can achieve centimeter accuracy, precise headings and strong anti-magnetic interference capabilities. These modules back up one another and this greatly improves the quality of image metadata for photogrammetry and increases flight precision and safety. Autel Robotics' GNSS Base Station provides centimeter accuracy and supports all 4 major satellite systems.
Autel Voyager
The Autel Voyager is specifically designed for the dragonfish for industry specific applications. The software provides advanced mission planning, intelligent tracking, flight history tracking, and other autonomous features. Simple to use yet incredibly powerful, Autel Voyager is the one stop solution for every mission.

9.7"1000NIT ultra-bright Ground Control Station
The high resolution (2048*1536), 9.7 inches, ultra-bright (1000 nits) TFT-LCD touchscreen ensures maximum visibility and practicality in all situations. Autel Ground Control Station is water, dust, and water resistant. Autel Robotics' new antenna design allows the video transmission to reach up to 18.6 miles (30km). The Autel Robotics ground station controller has a battery life of up to 6 hours and can be operated indefinitely with a remote power source.


Compact and Portable
The Dragonfish can be easily disassembled by a one man team and will fit in the back of typical car trunks. The entire system can be assembled without tools and is ready to fly in less than 5 minutes.

- The Dragonfish's fuselage is highly modular for easy packing and repair.
- The entire system self-checks in 5 seconds upon startup and is ready to fly immediately after.
- Tool-Free Quick Release Propellers


Endurance with Payload
The Dragonfish series includes three models: the Dragofish Lite, Dragonfish Standard, and Dragonfish Pro. With a flight time of 75 minutes, 120 minutes, and 180 minutes respectively while carrying a payload, each model can greatly improve work efficiency.
