What kind of payload/camera options does SOTEN support?
SOTEN supports a one-touch swappable camera system: standard RGB (20 MP, 4K video), multispectral camera, optical zoom camera, and EO/IR combination cameras.
Is SOTEN designed for bad weather?
While SOTEN has IP43 resistance (light water spray / dust), it is not fully rain-proof. Flying in rain or heavy wind is not recommended; the IP43 rating helps with unexpected exposure to spray but does not mean full all-weather use.
Where is the SOTEN made?
ACSL SOTEN is made in Japan.
Where can I buy ACSL SOTEN drones in the U.S.?
DSLRPros is an official U.S. reseller providing full integration support, firmware updates, and bundle customization.
Which industries use the ACSL SOTEN?
The SOTEN is deployed for infrastructure inspection, mapping, agriculture, and public safety—anywhere modular payload flexibility is key.
Can the SOTEN fly BVLOS?
Yes, the platform supports LTE and encrypted telemetry links designed for BVLOS readiness, subject to FAA waiver approval.
Is the ACSL SOTEN drone NDAA-compliant?
Yes. The SOTEN is designed and manufactured in Japan, meeting U.S. NDAA compliance requirements and offering secure alternatives for enterprise and public-safety operations.
What makes ACSL SOTEN different from personal drones?
Unlike consumer drones, the ACSL SOTEN is designed for enterprise use—featuring modular payload support, NDAA-compliant builds, and secure data transmission. It’s ideal for government agencies, utilities, and commercial inspection teams who require professional-grade results and data protection.
