Quantum AM-Q-V1
Built to stay up.
A battery gives you 30 minutes and a landing. The Quantum tethered drone system gives you the whole mission. Connect your aircraft to ground power, launch once, and hold position for hours at up to 130 feet. That is the entire pitch, and it is enough.

How It Works
Four steps, then it just stays up
Set the station
Place the ground station and connect standard 120V power, from a wall outlet or a small generator.
Clip the module
The 120 g air module mounts to your drone and connects to the tether in minutes. No airframe modification.
Launch once
Continuous power flows up the tether. Fly to station, up to 130 ft, and hold.
Stay covered
Hours of uninterrupted flight. If ground power is ever interrupted, the onboard battery lands the aircraft under control.
Compatibility
Built for the drones you already fly
The Quantum serves the enterprise aircraft programs already own, including the DJI Mavic 3 and Mavic 4 series and the Autel EVO series.
Flying a different airframe? We build tether integrations for new platforms on request, and higher-power systems for larger aircraft are in development.
