Six of the most lightweight drones soar into CES 2016

Just two months ago, consumer innovation company, MOTA, unveiled the world’s smallest, most lightweight drone. Now the company is taking CES by storm with the release of six more newly developed drones.

The company has brought along with it drones that act as commercial workhorses and even tiny drones that can be used by everyone.

“Our new drones span a huge range of flight, from aerial platforms for commercial applications to Lilliputian nano drones for pure fun,” said MOTA President Michael Faro. “With today’s announcement we’re introducing a fleet for almost any airborne task, some with capabilities never before seen in either consumer or commercial drones.”

One drone that will make its appearance at the over-sized electronics show in Las Vegas this week is the MOTA GIGA™-8000, which will headline the line-up for commercial applications. Its has an optional DRONE HANDS Flight Management System which provides autonomous flight and payload handling for mission-critical work in areas such as agriculture, defense, energy, first-responders, real estate, and security.

It also comes equipped with pre-selected flight patterns, auto-follow, and dual GPS, and can be set up for pro-level HD streaming video. As an added bonus, it has a pretty large battery for extended flights.

Another model, the MOTA GIGA-6000 also has the option to choose flight patterns, as well as auto follow, HD video streaming, and dual GPS.

On the DIY side of things, the MOTA Pro Live drone is ready to fly right out of the box. The MOTA Pro Live-5000 and Pro Live-4000 are equipped with auto takeoff, auto landing, and selectable flight patterns.

The MOTA JETJAT Nano and MOTA JETJAT Nano-C are miniature versions (.87 x .87 x .79 inch)  of these larger drones, also making their appearance this week at the show.
