“I lose money every minute my drone isn’t in the air”. We’ve heard that more times that we can count. And for what? Well, we believe it’s because of the limitations of imagination and the constraints of status quo technology. Everyone is taking the same approach. They are all trying to optimize the same tired, fixed design that’s been around since the dawn of drones.
That’s why we’ve created the Lift from Modovolo.
Born of a rather simple idea: How do we (1) make a drone more people can use, (2) in a configuration of their choosing, through (3) modular assembly as simple as any Lego set, all while (4) doubling flight time and—lastly—for a price inviting to both professional and recreational users. Yes, that’s a mouthful and we’ve done it.
The solution was the Modovolo Lift, a modularly-designed drone with 2 hours of flight time for only $6K. Go ahead, read that once more.
No more rigid, heavy, expensive drone rigs with fragile, open propeller blades, and 30 minutes of flying time. We’ve all suffered these limitations long enough. Instead, the Lift is a dynamic combination of lightweight design and limitless modular configuration potential, with flight time orders of magnitude longer than anything else on the market.
Modovolo looked to perfected technologies of the past—the brilliant simplicity and strength of the bicycle wheel and the convenience and fun of Lego. Strong, light, interlocking pieces, the Lift is an inspired cutting-edge innovation, a revolutionary step change in the drone category.
The efficient and powerful thrust of the Lift means bigger payloads, its spokes offering incredible structural rigidity—weighing virtually nothing—and protection from the often dangerous spinning propeller blades of other brands. It’s fifty percent lighter than the best drones on the market, with fifty percent more thrust, translating impossibly to better than twice the flight time: 2 hours+. In sum, performance orders of magnitude better than anyone in the market for a fraction of the cost. Without a hint of exaggeration, the Modovolo Lift is the Space X of drones and an iPhone in an otherwise Blackberry world.
Built for every need, from agriculture to commercial real estate to creative video production (and myriad other applications), the Modovolo Lift is agile, flexible, sturdy, and only limited in use case by your imagination.
Connect together 4 Lift Pods with a Utility Pod for the Quad Configuration and you have 5 lbs of payload capacity and more than double the flight time of a DJI Matrice 300. Add two more Lift Pods for the Hex Configuration for nearly 9 lbs of payload capacity in an even larger Utility Pod for even more flight time. Add two more Lift Pods for Octo Configuration and you get multiple payloads, nearly 15 lbs of payload capacity. The configuration possibilities are endless.
What’s next for Modovolo and how do I get to play with it? We understand the excitement, maybe even a healthy bit of skepticism. You only need to try it once and you’ll understand the collective excitement. To that end, Modovolo has recently gated 200 units for pre-sale. You can find a link here and we’d recommend you to act quickly. The proof, as they say, is in the pudding. A brand this powerful, with a product and specs this unquestionable, you won’t want to be the last person holding onto your Blackberry.
