The MTF-01P combines optical flow and a 12m lidar rangefinder into one tiny module, because having two separate sensors is so 2022 and your frame is already cluttered enough with that questionable soldering job. This is the hardware equivalent of a personal assistant who actually does their job.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/9972\/5181\/files\/MTF-01P_introduction2-jpg.webp?v=1773243361\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy You Want It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEver tried to hold a hover indoors and ended up accidentally trimming your houseplants? That’s because you lack the MTF-01P’s digital eyes. It measures ground speed and distance with the precision of a middle-manager counting paperclips. It’s perfect for the 'I forgot how to use my thumbs' moments or when you want your quad to actually stay where you put it without GPS screaming at you.
