Foxtech Gaia 160 heavy lift drone
The Chinese are far ahead of the Americans in drone tech. The Gaia handily outdoes its American competition: lifting nearly twice the weight (@ 20 kgs) while you spend less than half that of an American made. Drawback: little to no tech support.
Cost: approximately US$7,000., depending on your options/choices.
