10-inch FPV platform
Vardiron 10-B
The Vardiron 10-B is an optimally balanced 10-inch unmanned platform combining payload capacity, endurance, agility and modular communications for professional missions.
One-way attack FPV drone engineered as a versatile baseline for most missions, with multiple video/radio modifications.
Detailed overview
Mission role
The 10-B is the core professional platform in the Vardiron 10-inch family. It balances payload, cost and flight performance so operators can cover a wide set of missions without moving immediately to the PRO powertrain. Modular configuration lets teams select video and radio systems for each application.
Design intent
The airframe uses high-grade, extra-thick carbon fibre for rigidity, cleaner gyro data and confident handling in dynamic manoeuvres. Premium power MOSFETs, reinforced low-ESR filtering and individual PID tuning are part of the production standard; every unit is flight-tested before delivery.
Communications
Dual-channel ELRS with MiLELRS support and LR1121 x 2 link architecture underpin control and video. Gemini control bands cover 600-1000 MHz and 1800-2800 MHz. Video frequency variants (standard vs 3.3) adapt to regional and mission constraints.
Key capabilities
- Dual-channel ELRS with MiLELRS support
- LR1121 x 2 dual-channel link architecture
- Up to 30 km with 1 kg warhead / up to 20 km with 2.5 kg warhead
- Analog 1500 TVL day/night low-light camera
- 6S3P 15,000 mAh battery; ESC 6S 60-80 A; 900 KV motors
- FCAT initiation controller (remote/contact, self-destruct)
Engineering advantages
High-grade carbon fibre
Maximum frame rigidity keeps gyro data clean, reduces vibration and enables precise control even during aggressive manoeuvres.
Powertrain reliability margin
Premium power MOSFETs support stable ESC operation and motor control while reducing desynchronization risk under rapid throttle changes and high load.
Reinforced power filtering
Low-ESR capacitors suppress ripple and interference, improving power stability, electronics reliability and video-signal quality.
Adjustable antenna mounts
Proprietary mounts enable rapid antenna-polarization changes and adaptation to different operating conditions without compromising maintenance.
Individual PID tuning
Precision tuning of every aircraft delivers immediate response and predictable behaviour across speeds and payloads.
Flight testing of every unit
Mandatory flight testing and a full systems check confirm operational readiness before delivery.
Variants & configurations
| Variant | Video frequencies | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Vardiron 10-B | 4.9-6.2 GHz | Standard video band configuration |
| Vardiron 10-B 3.3 | 2.9-3.5 GHz | Alternate video band for regional/mission needs |
Frequencies, equipment and settings may be changed to meet customer requirements and regulations of the intended region of operation.
How it fits the Vardiron ecosystem
- Pairs with the Vardiron Integrated Control System for ground-station control and multi-band link management.
- Range can be extended using Vardiron 15-R airborne relay and Vardiron Relay modules over obstructed terrain.
- Step up to Vardiron 10 PRO when longer missions and higher cruise/max speeds are required.
- Thermal missions: see Vardiron 10-T on the same airframe class.

FAQ
What missions is the 10-B for?
It is the balanced baseline 10-inch professional platform for most missions where payload, endurance and cost need to be optimized together.
How do 10-B and 10-B 3.3 differ?
They primarily differ in video frequency bands (4.9-6.2 GHz vs 2.9-3.5 GHz). Other equipment can be adapted to order.
Is every unit tested?
Yes. Every aircraft undergoes mandatory flight testing and a complete systems check before delivery.
