Maximum Buoyancy. Reliable Support for Multi-Person Rescue.

With 180 N of buoyancy, the system provides immediate flotation support for up to four individuals – ideal for multi-person rescue operations. Automatically activates on water contact ensuring a fast and reliable first response when every second counts.

Automatic Activation. Reusable. Field-Ready.

The system activates automatically upon water contact via a cellulose tablet. Reliable and fast deployment is ensured by two main components: a water activator and a 38g stainless steel CO₂ cartridge. After use, the system can be quickly rearmed by replacing both components.

Secure Hold.

Seven integrated grab loops provide reliable hold points – ideal for maintaining contact in offshore conditions or swiftwater environments. They also assist rescue personnel in recovering individuals from the water – even under dynamic operational conditions.

Compact. Lightweight. Always at Hand.

In its closed state, the system measures just 29 cm and weighs only 560 g – ideal for gear setups with limited space, where every gram and centimeter matters. Perfect for use in emergency vehicles, boats, helicopters, and backpacks.

Operational Flexibility. High Visibility.

Three reinforced attachment loops enable seamless integration of additional gear – for maximum operational flexibility. Four integrated reflective strips provide enhanced visibility – even in low-light or adverse weather conditions.

Why Drone Insurance Matters – And Where to Get It

Flying a drone can be exciting and rewarding—but it also comes with risks. While drone insurance isn't always legally required, it’s highly recommended to protect yourself, your equipment, and others around you. Whether you’re flying for fun, professional photography, or commercial inspections, having the right insurance offers peace of mind and may be required by clients or job sites.


💡 Why You Should Consider Drone Insurance

🔹 Liability Coverage
Protects you financially if your drone causes property damage or injury to others.

🔹 Damage Protection
Covers repair or replacement costs if your drone is damaged due to crashes, hard landings, or environmental hazards.

🔹 Theft Coverage
Helps recover losses if your drone or gear is stolen.

🔹 Client & Regulatory Compliance
Many commercial projects, job sites, and government contracts require proof of insurance before allowing flight operations.

🔹 Peace of Mind
Know you’re covered—legally and financially—so you can focus on flying with confidence.


🛡️ Types of Drone Insurance

⚖️ Is Drone Insurance Legally Required?

In the United States, the FAA does not require insurance, but many local governments, private clients, and commercial contracts do. It’s especially crucial if you’re flying professionally or in public spaces.


✔️ Before You Fly

Check with your current insurance provider to see if they cover drone rentals or flight operations. If not, we highly recommend securing coverage before you launch.
