In 2012 Tekgra started to design and assemble their own drones based on field experiences. We offer a range of drones which we believe can compete with the best in the world within our local environment.

The keys to a successful aerial photography project are drones that:
(i) capture sharp images over a large project area
(ii) long range yet light
(iii) weatherproof
(iv) reinforced to withstand hard or crash landings
(v) easily repairable on the field and availability of cost-effective spare parts from our service centre in Miri, Sarawak.

Please contact us for UAV drone pricings.

TEKGRA UAV AIRIS T-SW drone

This is a suitable UAV drone for clients who are starting up their own drone unit. T-SW is a relatively slow flying UAV for easy take off and landing, with stable flying characetristics for up to 30 minutes of aerial photography.

The T-SW parts are easily interchangable in the event replacement parts are required. The body, wings and tail can be disassembled for easy carriage. It is also suitable to be hand-thrown for takeoff, or fixed with a wheel for rolling takeoff/landing.

Note: This drone can be upgraded to fly up to 50 minutes

TEKGRA UAV AIRIS T6 drone

This is a proven workhorse medium size UAV drone which we have flown g intensively in Sarawak for aerial photography work.

The T6 drone is a perfect combination of portability, endurance, payload carrying capacity and toughness. The compact five feet wingspan makes the T6 drone straightforward to squeeze in between vegetation during take-off and landings, while giving it good stability while flying in less than ideal weather conditions.

The T6 drone can flies for over 80 minutes and return to home with 20% battery reserve. It can carry a downward looking camera and as well as a front-facing video camera. Both are carried internally for maximum protection.

A large compartment in the front gives it plenty of space for equipment and at the same time absorb the shocks during landings.

The wings can be detached for easy carrying. We normally carry it inside a backpack.

Overall, this is now our go-everywhere drone!

TEKGRA UAV AIRIS T8 (3 cameras drone)

This is the larger UAV drone for large projects aerial photography. It is also available for sale.

This is a seven footer drone made from EPO foam, which is durable and easily repairable in the field. It has an all-up weight of 4.5kg and flies for over 100 minutes at 50km/h. It can covers over 1000ha per flight.

It carries a stabilised camera mount for either a compact or mirrorless camera. A second non-stabilised camera plus a video camera can also be carried at the same time.

This drone is also capable of payload drops.

TEKGRA UAV AIRIS S3

One of our smaller UAV drones, popular for plantations and development flying. It has a wingspan of 3 feet, weights 1.5kg and flies for 30 minutes.

Inside its body, it carries a compact camera like Canon Powershot with optional one-axis stabilisation. The coverage per flight is between 150 to 200ha, depending on flying altitude and camera settings.

It comes with its own autopilot and GPS. Telemetry and GPS tracker can also be carried if required.

This is a one-piece design with non-detachable wings, making this model particularly durable in crashes or hard landings.

The picture here shows the S3 drone mounted on a Tekgra-designed aluminium launcher. A parachute landing system is also available.

AIRIS N1 UAV

The first UAV drone we used is a giant eight footer and weights almost 7kg.

Made from ply and balsa wood with film covering, it can carry a camera payload of 2kg plus another 1kg of fuel for its nitro engine.

The endurance is 45 minutes. It needs a runway for take-offs and landings.

It has a special, detachable compartment to carry camera, video recorders or other stuff. The camera can also be mounted sideways for oblique shots and controlled with a FPV camera.

We used it to carry a Nikon or Sony full-frame digital camera with a 50mm prime lens, which takes super-sharp pictures from the air.

Due to its configuration and weight, the N1 requires an experienced flier to operate.
