Our vision is to give superpowers to the
drone pilot
With three months of no sunlight, in the arctic tundra during the cold winter, we know the challenges darkness provides to drone pilots flying at night. We have spent countless time prototyping, testing and figuring out how to make the ultimate drone lighting solution for small prosumer and enterprise drones.
These insights were used to create the world’s brightest Automoving drone light that makes it possible to fly drones in the dark. This solution builds on our patented drone payload platform, which today is engineered for every DJI Mavic 3 and Mavic 2 drone. New Automoving drone lights and other modular payloads will be designed in the years to come, giving smaller drones enhanced capabilities and superpowers to you!
The name Tundra Drone was given because the weather conditions in the Norwegian arctic tundra define what we can do and when we can do it. We believe when we design and test drone solutions that work here, they will work everywhere in the world.
