Setting the angle of the camera and the gimbal will maintain that position during flight. The 2-Axis Gimbal is designed for use with the GoPro® and other action cameras. 

5000mAh 3-Cell LiPo Battery

Give your Aton a boost in performance and flight time. The Traxxas 5000mAh 11.1v 3-Cell LiPo battery fits perfectly inside Aton’s battery tray and plugs in with the Traxxas High-Current Connector for hassle-free use. The higher capacity lets you enjoy longer flight times so you can capture even more amazing aerial footage and have more fun performing aerial acrobatics. The battery is also ready for your iD charger so you spend less time on the ground and more time in the air.

Protected Dual-Mode GPS

The GPS system is cleverly integrated into the roll hoop to shield it from radio frequency interference and protect it from physical damage. Aton uses sophisticated dual-mode GPS to enable advanced features such as return-to-home, position hold, and app-adjustable flight ceiling and geofence boundaries.

Rugged Design

With decades of experience engineering the world's fastest Ready-to-Race® radio controlled models, Aton is built to go the distance with strong composite materials and proven design methods. All the parts are available to support Aton to keep it flying for years to come.
