Product Description

Blue Vigil RS1000 Power Drone Tether System


DESCRIPTION

Tether power systems designed for off-the-shelf drones. The ground-based tether allows unlimited flight time when connected to a power source (generator, household current, or battery).

The Blue Vigil Ground Power System keeps your drone flying, uninterrupted, in a stationary position for as long as you need it to stay aloft. It ends concerns—and inconvenience—caused by the limited power of a drone’s onboard rechargeable battery. With Blue Vigil RS 1000, there’s no need to return your drone to base because your battery is depleted and you need to swap it out for a fresh unit. Blue Vigil uses a tether to provide continuous power from a ground-source battery. By powering Blue Vigil from a household outlet, power inverter, or generator, UAV flight time is indefinite. That means your eye in the sky remains exactly where it’s supposed to be; aimed at your subject or an area being monitored.

WHO BENEFITS FROM BLUE VIGIL?

If you need to keep your drone aloft and stationary for longer than the rechargeable battery allows, Blue Vigil RS1000 is the solution. At the scene of a fire, major traffic accident, evolving crime scene, news event or sports competition, a drone tethered to Blue Vigil’s ground-based power supply remains on the job, uninterrupted.

  • Firefighters needing to monitor shifting winds and fire lines or to detect hotspots
  • Search-and-rescue teams surveying a disaster scene
  • Military and police who must maintain aerial surveillance to protect an individual or team
  • Police managing a hostage crisis
  • Accident investigators surveying wreckage
  • Traffic monitors at events or along highways during evolving conditions
    Crowd-control officials
  • Meteorologists and others keeping an eye on changing weather conditions
  • Hazmat teams responding to a spill or other crisis
  • Security personnel maintaining order at events such as concerts, festivals, sporting events and parades
  • News teams needing to see and record activity beyond police lines or to record sprawling events
  • Film production crews in need of a mounting point for aerial cameras or lighting
  • Coaches gathering aerial video for performance analysis
  • Communications personnel launching temporary relays, radio transmission equipment, or electro-optical and infrared sensors
  • Rescue, firefighting or police personnel signaling their location with an aerial beacon

AFFORDABLE, ADAPTABLE, DEPENDABLE

Blue Vigil Ground Power System keeps your drone flying. The American-made and serviced Blue Vigil RS 1000 is budget-friendly. It costs a fraction as much as flying planes or helicopters that must be rented or purchased and maintained. It’s compatible, either directly or by using an adaptor, with drones you probably have already. And because it can run largely unattended, it doesn’t rob you of personnel needed for more important tasks—things like saving lives or fending off intruders. Drone Nerds staff experts can help you find the drone-Blue Vigil combination that works best for your needs, and tell you whether your current drones will work with a dependable Blue Vigil ground power system.

EFFECTIVE SOLUTION FOR PROLONGED FLIGHT

Blue Vigil RS-1000 makes it easy to establish a long-duration aerial vision that’s crucial to many tasks: policing, firefighting, managing events, investigating crimes and accidents, monitoring traffic or crowds, and maintaining security. The high-capacity Blue Vigil battery is enclosed in a lightweight but rugged case with built-in handles, and it is equipped to optionally accept uninterrupted 110v or 220v power from an outlet and cord, an inverter-equipped vehicle, or a gasoline-powered generator.

Once a drone is tethered and flown up to 164 feet overhead—a height that’s functional without threatening manned aircraft—Blue Vigil powers it continuously. Blue Vigil manages the power-carrying tether, keeping it taught, and maintains the drone’s position and orientation. There’s no longer a need to land for fresh batteries and no longer a need to constantly input flight controls, even in windy conditions. When you do land, the drone sets down within 10 feet of the Blue Vigil RS1000 and the tether retracts automatIcally.
