The Airpeak S1 is available to order. It is expected to ship on December 24th.

The Airpeak S1, which was first teased in January, is designed to be used with Sony's cameras. It has a flight time of 22 minutes without a camera and up to 12 minutes with a camera, according to the product page. The Airpeak is stable in winds of up to 44.7mph, which could be useful for capturing footage in windy conditions.

The price includes two pairs of propellers, a remote controller, two batteries, and a battery charging station. If you decide to order one, you will have to bring some of your own equipment. Gremsy makes a third-party Gimbal for the Airpeak S1, but it is expensive at $2,199.99.

Sony plans to sell an optional $300-per-year "Airpeak Plus" cloud subscription, which will offer "additional data storage, advanced geofencing options, and import / export of flight logs." Sony hasn't shared how much the Airpeak Protect Plan will cost.
