Atlanta Hobby launched the Vortex aerial filming hexacopter in partnership with MN Aerospace.



The Vortex is aerospace-grade 3-D printed for a lighter but stronger frame, has three-axis gimbal stabilization with a GoPro camera, and allows for a multitude of color customization options, according to a company press release.



Flight time can last upwards of 25 minutes with a payload, whether it is a traditional camera or thermal imager, and is compatible with DJI Lightbridge video downlink system and ground station autonomous flight system.
