JAKARTA Sony, an electronics company from Japan, announced that it will stop selling Airpeak S1, a camera-enabled drone. This device is designed for professionals.

On its official website, Sony said that this device was stopped for sale due to its changing business focus. This small drone will be sold for the next few months and will be suspended in March next year.

"Thank you for using Sony products. Due to the latest changes in the business environment, Airpeak S1 and related products will be stopped at the end of March 2025, with the exception of several accessories," said Sony.

A number of supporting accessories will also stop being sold at the same time. Some of the accessories revealed by Sony are game games, battery chargers, transmitters, battery stations, RTK packages, battery packages, and drone propellers.

Especially for battery and drone propellers, Sony will provide its devices until March 31, 2026. For solutions in the form of inspection, repair, and software maintenance, Apple will provide its support until March 31, 2030.

Airpeak S1 is a drone with a camera introduced via Consumer Electric Show (CES), an annual technology exhibition, in 2021. A month later, this device was released at a price of 9,000 US dollars (Rp. 142 million).

This device is categorized as a high-end drone at a fairly expensive cost, even before buying its accessories. When launched, this drone is claimed to be able to record in HD mode using a full-frame mirrorless Alpha camera with a replaceable lens.
