Product overview
The Kitefly AF-P4 from Nanjing Airfly Electronic Technology Co., Ltd. is a reel for winding and paying out tether lines in drone installations intended to support extended flight time and continuous power supply. Its winch uses torque control with adjustable retraction force. The product measures 230x260x210mm and weighs 4500±20g, establishing its space and mass requirements for integration. The described mounting and connection features comprise a carabiner clip, a standard drone mounting bracket and standard aviation connectors, with tool-free quick installation. Its finish is black with reflective strips.
The winch motor requires a 24V supply, while the slip ring withstands a maximum DC voltage of 1000V and has a specified overcurrent value of 10A. Cable passage accommodates 3-5mm tether cables. The reel supports real-time video and telemetry and includes overcurrent and surge protection. Its stated operating range is -20°C to 60°C, with IP65-rated waterproof and dustproof protection for indoor and outdoor use. Cable-length specifications conflict between up to 100 meters and up to 300 meters, leaving the applicable length unresolved. The AF-P4 is a tether reel accessory.
