The Redpoint 12-inch fiber optic FPV drone is a medium-lift tethered aircraft designed for operations that require secure, long-range command and video transmission. Instead of relying solely on radio control, the aircraft uses a fiber optic tether that carries control signals and video data between the drone and the ground station. The 12-inch airframe is positioned between the 10-inch and 14-inch variants in the product line, offering a balance of payload capacity and flight endurance. It is manufactured on an ISO 9001-certified production line.
This platform targets logistics operators, infrastructure inspection teams, and surveying organizations that need a tethered FPV solution with verified range and payload specifications. Custom payload mounting and fiber length options are available.
The fiber optic tether provides a physical control and data channel between the aircraft and the ground station. This configuration is used in environments where radio-frequency interference is a concern, as the fiber link does not depend on over-the-air radio signals for command and video transmission.
The 12-inch airframe supports a rated load of 6 kg. The larger frame, relative to the 10-inch model, provides improved stability in windy conditions and allows for heavier payload mounting. Custom payload interfaces can be configured for specific equipment.
The 12-inch model offers a maximum control range of 30 km or more and a maximum flight time of 30 minutes or more, according to the manufacturer's specifications. Actual performance varies with payload weight, wind conditions, and flight profile.
The table below lists specifications for the 10-inch, 12-inch, and 14-inch variants. This product page corresponds to the 12-inch model (middle value in each row).
Rated Load | 4 / 6 / 8 kg (10" / 12" / 14") |
Max Control Range | 20 / 30 / 50 km+ (10" / 12" / 14") |
Max Horizonal Speed | 110 / 100 / 90 km/h (10" / 12" / 14") |
Max Flight Time | 25 / 30 / 35 min+ (10" / 12" / 14") |
The 12-inch model achieves a maximum horizontal speed of 100 km/h, as listed in the specification table. With a 6 kg rated load, it can carry camera systems, sensing equipment, or small cargo packages. The fiber tether is released during flight and retracted during recovery, and the ground station manages tether tension throughout the mission.
For enterprise customers evaluating this platform, the key comparison points across the product line are payload (4 kg for the 10-inch, 6 kg for the 12-inch, 8 kg for the 14-inch), control range (20 km / 30 km / 50 km or more), and flight time (25 / 30 / 35 minutes or more). The 12-inch model is suited for missions that require more payload than the 10-inch variant without stepping up to the larger 14-inch airframe. Detailed specifications including dimensions, battery configuration, and motor data are available through direct inquiry.
This drone is used in infrastructure inspection, where the fiber tether maintains a stable control link during long-duration observation of pipelines, power lines, and industrial facilities. Logistics operators use it for short-range payload transport between fixed points. Surveying teams deploy it for mapping and data collection in areas where radio control reliability is uncertain. Custom fiber length options allow commercial users to match the tether to their specific operational range requirements.
