What Is The Difference Between The Atlas And Universal?

The Atlas supports larger and powerful drones such as the DJI M350 and has a broader scope of capability, ideal for industrial use in construction, inspection, fast response, security, etc. The Universal supports a wider variety of smaller drones such as the DJI Mavic 3, Anzu Raptor, and Parrot Anafi. The Universal is a highly portable option for DIAB solutions, ideal for personal or use on-the-go. Both are Drone-In-A-Box stations that swap and/or charge the drone batteries.

Can Pilots/Operators Manually Control The Flight And Gimbal Of The Aircraft?

Yes! All of our software providers enable this.

Is It Possible To Stream Video From The Drones?

Yes, livestream of the drone video is possible through our partnered flight software providers. See our partners list below.
