Upcoming Nike TN drop for @footlockeruk
Starting the year strong with this one.
Took an ambitious team to turn this around in two weeks, from pre-production to final delivery. Huge respect to the editing team, some serious talent behind the screens.
I want to thank the Foot Locker team for trusting Lacera Films with such a vision, it’s genuinely been an honour bringing it to life.

Last year we took the DJI Inspire 3 to the skies for a short film for the @royalbritishlegion .
Working with @dronescope , really honoured to have been part of the project.
Incredible how well the KD5 flies with a Blackmagic 4KG2 on top. 🔥
Using the KDCM Lite in the top 30.5x30.5 mounting holes, it can easily carry the camera, and fly for over 5 minutes with a 6s 2000. For those tighter shots this will be a really useful tool. We will release prints soon to add an XT30 power out mount for camera power direct from the drone. 🔋

Storage charge 10x drone batteries at once 🔋🪫
This KD Discharger allows you to plug up to 10 of the same cell batteries into one box, connect to a discharger, and leave to go down to storage voltage.
- 10 battery ports
- XT90, XT60, XT30 on each of the 10 spots
- Different levels of charged battery can be plugged in together because of the diodes that protect current going back into any batteries
- 2 fans keep the diodes and heatsinks cool
- XT60 output to plug into any lipo discharger
The KD5 is now available! Buy from the website (in bio) and watch the full video there and on YouTube:
**KD5 is only for advanced builders**
- 95g 5" frame
- Up to 9 minutes flight time with an action camera
- Incredibly stiff, great flight performance
- Super thin for storage, motors inside the arms
- No props in view on O4 Pro at any angle
- No props in view on Action 5 down to about 10°
- Fits full 30.5x30.5 or 20x20 stacks
- 25.5x25.5 and 20x20 M2 VTX mounting
- Separated GPS, BTC, Rx antenna mounting
- Bottom mounted battery for lower moment of inertia and easier hand launch/catch
- Frame kit includes: T700 carbon, hardware, prints, battery pad, hard mounted XT60, T6 torx driver
A new compact charging case I designed. I've seen lots of great ones, but none that had all the features I wanted, so I did my own:
- 1500W Mean Well 27V PSU (8x lipos at around 7A each)
- 8 outputs with XT90, XT60, XT30 options
- 4x USB C PD and 2x USB A ports, 200W total. This is powered from mains without needing to turn on the PSU and fans
- DC XT90 and XT60 inputs, diode protected for hot swapping power input. When using battery input and not AC mains, you can still use the 2x USB C PD and 2x USB A charging ports at the front of the quad chargers.
- XT90 and XT60 27V output from the 1500W PSU for additional DC chargers
- Motion activated USB C charged magnetic battery light
- Zipper pocket for USB C cables, battery checkers etc.
- Watertight Peli case when closed, fully sealed. Space for AC mains cable inside the case. 41 x 33 x 17 cm. 8.9kg
- M3 press nut holes for adding output covers for extra safety
- Very quiet operation when charging smaller batteries due to the large and efficient PSU

Welcome Joe 👋
I'm excited to announce he is joining KD Drones full-time as a pilot, and to work on all the other exciting things we do.
We are expanding and taking on even more ambitious projects, and Joe is a great addition to the team. He has just finished his engineering degree at Southampton, and is a talented pilot, designer, and water sportsman.
I look forward to sharing our upcoming work and new products! Welcome to the team @joerickmann
Golden hour above the waves.
Surfing meets the sky in a dance of light and motion✨
KD9 is a 9” X8 cinelifter designed to carry a Red Komodo, Sony FX6, Freefly Ember etc. It has a unique I-beam design made of vertical arms clamped between two continuous plates. This creates an insanely strong and stiff frame, while being the lightest in it’s class by a considerable margin at only 446g. for further information please visit the website @kddrones
