- The drone weighs about 4.4 lbs, measures 15.7 inches tall and 9.8 inches wide, and features a power-to-weight ratio roughly ten times that of an F1 car, powered by a 16-kilowatt system.
- Ben, who has over 15 years of drone flying experience and has worked on major films like John Wick 4, designed and built the drone mostly on his own over 18 months, with sponsorship support from Drone Pro Hub.
