02 · Indoor & Outdoor Testing

Rigorous Testing Before Every Shipment

Quality is non-negotiable. Each unit undergoes comprehensive indoor burn-in testing under controlled conditions, followed by real-world outdoor flight validation with actual drone platforms. We simulate extreme temperatures, humidity, and continuous load scenarios to verify performance reliability before any product leaves our facility. This dual-stage testing protocol ensures our tethered systems perform flawlessly from day one in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Two quick answers up front, then jump to the full knowledge base for everything else.

Business
What is your MOQ for tethered UAV power systems?+
MOQ depends on product and configuration. Selected standard systems may support low-volume evaluation or pilot orders, subject to availability and supplier requirements. OEM/ODM and customized configurations may have different MOQ requirements.
Can I order a sample or one unit for testing?+
Sample or pilot orders are available for selected standard configurations, subject to availability. Provide UAV model, application, required power, cable length, quantity and destination. Testing with the actual UAV and payload is recommended before larger orders.
How can I get a quotation for a tethered UAV power system?+
Send the UAV model, application, altitude, payload, tether length, target quantity and destination country. Available specifications or photos can help us identify a suitable configuration and prepare a quotation.
What is the lead time for a tethered UAV power system?+
Lead time depends on product, configuration, stock status and customization. Standard stock items may be prepared faster; customized systems require technical confirmation and production time. The confirmed lead time is stated in the quotation or order confirmation.
What is your warranty policy?+
Warranty terms vary by product and manufacturer. The applicable warranty period, coverage and exclusions should be confirmed in the quotation or order documentation before purchase. Warranty cases may require product information, purchase records and evidence such as photos or videos.
Technical
What is a tethered UAV power system?+
A tethered UAV power system provides continuous electrical power to a drone from a ground-based power unit through a tether cable. A typical system includes a ground power unit, high-voltage tether cable, airborne power module and UAV interface. It is designed for missions requiring extended or persistent airborne operation, including security surveillance, emergency lighting, public safety and infrastructure monitoring.
How long can a tethered drone stay airborne?+
Duration depends on the UAV, payload, tether system, ground power source and environment. A tethered system is designed to provide continuous ground power, so mission duration is not determined solely by onboard battery capacity. XINLV evaluates the actual configuration before recommending a system.
Which drones are compatible with your tethered power systems?+
XINLV offers configurations for selected DJI platforms, including Mavic 3, Matrice 4, Matrice 30, Matrice 350, Matrice 400, Matrice 400H, FlyCart 30 and FlyCart 100, as well as selected custom and universal UAV configurations. Compatibility depends on platform, power, interface, payload and mission requirements.
How do I choose the right tethered power system for my drone?+
Selection should consider UAV power consumption, payload, altitude, tether length, interface, ground power source and operating environment. XINLV evaluates these factors before confirming a configuration.
Does the tether affect drone flight performance?+
Yes. The tether adds weight and aerodynamic drag, which can affect maneuverability and operating altitude. The effect depends on cable length, weight, UAV size, wind and payload.
