Volarious release tether system for newly launch DJI M400

Volarious, a company specialized in providing tethered drone technology, announced the launch of its latest product, the V-Line Pro for DJI Matrice 400 (M400). Supported by DJI, the tethered system is now compatible with the DJI M400, offering extended flight durations for various operations.

“The M400 is DJI latest drone for enterprise industries, that can simultaneously mount of up to 7 payloads,” said Weiliang, CEO of Volarious. “The V-Line Pro reduces the need to land the drone for battery swap and pilots can operate the payloads with ease as energy for the drone is supplied from the ground.”

The V-Line Pro features a lightweight, aviation-grade cable that allows the drone to be tethered up to 70 meters. It also includes a smart tension system that minimizes cable slack in strong winds, enabling operation by one person. The reel speed mechanism supports an ascent and descent rate up to 7 meters per second without any high tension in the tether cable.

The V-Line Pro is equipped with multiple safety features, including an Advanced Thermal Control system that monitors and adjusts the temperature at multiple points in the tether system using six temperature sensors and nine fans. The V-Line Pro can be connected to various battery station to power the drone, including DJI Power 1000.

Additionally, the V-Line Pro was developed based on the guidelines from DJI. Pilots can access the tether system parameters on the native widget on DJI Pilot 2. Once V-Line Pro is connected, widget will appear on DJI Pilot 2 which can be used to check tether system parameters.

Another safety feature is the Auto Limit Height system. Due to the drone constantly communicating with the tether system, once the maximum tether cable length is reached, the drone will automatically stop ascending, preventing the cable from experiencing undue strain.

“Our goal is to take the application of the Matrice 400 to the next level,” Weiliang explained. He believes the V-Line Pro will serve professionals in a wide range of industries. ‘Whether you’re in firefighting, search and rescue, or security, the V-Line Pro is designed to elevate your aerial missions.”
