MVC Flow Essential

Lightweight Optical Flow & Altitude Module for Precision Navigation

The MVC Flow Essential is engineered for micro drone applications requiring accurate optical flow, altitude awareness, and motion sensing. Its ultra-light design and precision sensors enable robust terrain following and position hold, even in GPS-denied or visually challenging environments. With plug-and-play interfaces and real-time data output, it empowers developers to elevate autonomous navigation capabilities.

 

Electrical Data

Designed with energy efficiency in mind, MVC Flow Essential ensures stable performance with a low 5.25V max input. This minimal power requirement makes it ideal for lightweight aerial platforms where battery life is critical.
