Product overview
The iFlight Centurion X8 drone is designed for camera-carrying filming work, with 8-inch propellers and a recorded maximum speed of 160 km/h. Its 7075 aircraft-grade aluminium camera mount adjusts from 10 to 50 degrees and positions the propellers outside the cinema camera’s view. Support along both horizontal and vertical axes helps reduce payload resonance, with increasing support as the camera angle rises for higher-speed flight. The arms combine an A-frame layout with truss construction to provide rigidity while controlling weight.
The Centurion X8 incorporates a GPS chip with an amplified antenna and a dual-channel XT30 system that supplies independent power to cameras or other equipment. Its AeroShell directs intake air over the ESCs and exhausts it through rear openings, while deflecting airflow away from the flat top plate as speed increases. The shell also shields electronics from dust. An integrated quick-release battery system uses a battery strap and carbon-fibre plate to support efficient battery changes during demanding filming work.
