In this in-depth video, we talk about the tether and winder that comes with your gladius mini. We talk about the best practices with these two products and what they do for the Gladius mini and its captain.


  • Tether is available in 50m and 100m lengths and comes wrapped around a sturdy plastic spool
  • Two connection ports, one goes to drone and the other goes to the base station. Each connector has an O-ring used to screw tether onto their connectors.
    • Please ensure the coupling nut on the connector is screwed in finger tight to prevent water seepage and to provide the best possible transmission between the drone and base unit.
    • Please periodically check the small black rubber o-ring on the connector. If it is worn out, please replace it with one of the spares provided with the unit. 
  • Tether is made from a neutral material so that it remains buoyant, any slack will float on the top of the water.
