1. Introduction Alware's Streak 800 Hexacopter is the next generation aircraft for professional aerial filming with big Cameras, long flying time FPV, search and rescue activities in the air with minimum budget. Quick Collapsible Design: Unlike other huge multicopters, Streak 800 has an extremely convenient collapsible structure design. Four arms can be folded together within 1 min without using any tools. This greatly reduce the effort used in transportation.
Large Current Power/ESC Board: Streak 800 comes with a large current distribution board. The whole board as a conductor, it support up to 100A input which is a lot more enough for Steak 800. It distributes a power imput to six speed controllers within the board in a clear way. This does not produce magnetic thus less influence to sensors. High Efficient APC Propellers: Streak 800 comes with 3 pairs of Genuine APC Composite 14x4.7 Propellers.
