The Studica WS500 UAV Quadcopter Kit is a lightweight robust UAV platform specially designed for learning and teaching. It comes with the WS500 EDU Frame Kit, motors, ESCs, and power frame integrated power distribution panel. It has a CubePilot flight controller with companion Raspberry Pi 4B, an optical flow and distance sensor module with 6-axs IMU, a ToF (Time of Flight) 3D depth camera (with custom mount), and T-mini Plus lidar for obstacle avoidance and advanced navigation.

All tools for installation are provided in box.

Note: Battery and charger not included.

We recommend the 5200mAh-45C-14.8V-4S LiPo Battery with XT60 Connector and the AC 100W DC 200W Battery Charger. The battery will be sold as a separate item as the shipping could be different and delayed due to strict Lithium battery rules for delivery.
