Extended-performance 10-inch platform
Vardiron 10 PRO
The Vardiron 10 PRO family uses a high-efficiency powertrain for longer missions, greater speed and stable platform authority through the final phase of flight — including day/night and thermal variants.
Optimized for 35-45 km class missions with substantial power reserve and flexible VTX/RX configuration.
Detailed overview
Mission role
Select PRO when baseline 10-inch endurance and speed are not enough. The architecture improves energy efficiency, cruising/maximum speeds and control authority late in the mission while keeping a 4 kg payload class.
Day and thermal PRO lines
Vardiron 10-B PRO / 10-B PRO 3.3 cover visual day/night camera configurations. Vardiron 10-T PRO / 10-T PRO 3.3 add thermal imaging for night and obscured environments without giving up the PRO powertrain advantages.
Power and RF flexibility
Battery options include 8S3P 15,000 mAh or 6S4P 20,000 mAh (50S). Control frequency options include Gemini bands and R1A1 1800-2000 MHz or other customer options. Video bands differ by B PRO vs B PRO 3.3.
Key capabilities
- Up to 45 km with 1 kg warhead / up to 30 km with 2.5 kg warhead
- 80 km control and video range class
- ESC 8S 60-80 A; 900 KV motors
- Dual-channel ELRS with MiLELRS support
- FCAT initiation controller
Engineering advantages
Flight performance
Higher efficiency and an optimized powertrain make better use of energy on extended missions while staying stable under high load.
Long range
Optimised for 35-45 km missions. Minimal voltage sag and stable powertrain behaviour preserve dynamics and control precision to the final metre.
Substantial power reserve
Confident acceleration and improved dynamics even at maximum payload.
Configuration flexibility
Wide VTX/RX support for rapid adjustments to terrain, conditions and mission requirements.

FAQ
How is PRO different from 10-B?
PRO increases control/video range class (80 km), flight time (up to 35 min), max speed (150 km/h) and mission range with warhead loads, via a higher-efficiency powertrain and battery options.
Are thermal PRO variants available?
Yes: Vardiron 10-T PRO and 10-T PRO 3.3 combine the PRO powertrain with thermal imaging.
