Since Sphere Drones undertook Flyability as a partner, our team have used both the Elios 1 and Elios 2 through the years in operations for our clients, being endlessly effective in capturing data in inaccessible spaces like sewers and underground mine sites while making indoor inspections safer for our team and our clients.
We now use the Elios 3 for all our indoor and underground inspections, and the team agrees it is Flyability’s most effective and robust inspection drone yet.
To encourage existing Elios owners to upgrade to the Elios 3, we are offering a trade-in discount in exchange for your old Elios 1 or Elios 2.
In exchange for the return of an Elios 1 or Elios 2, you will receive a 10% discount on the price of a package including the Elios 3 drone (e.g. Elios 3 premium, Elios 3 surveying, Elios 3 UT, etc.).
This encompasses Elios 3 standalone packages or with one or multiple payloads. Get in quick though as this trade in offer is only valid until October 31, 2024.
The Elios 3 has many features that the Elios 1 and Elios 2 do not, including its LiDAR scanner, Return-to-Signal feature, and modular payload design with 3 payloads (so far….).
Take a look at the comparison table below to see the main differences between the three Elios models. To read more in-depth on the differences between the Elios 2 and Elios 3, read our post here.
