Cuta-Copter Australia – About Us

Cuta Copter Fishing Drones Australia

Cuta-Copter Australia has one mission – To provide the most advanced, stable, and robust fishing drones available, and back it up with outstanding customer support and service.

Cuta-Copter, the fishing drone pioneer has been building the toughest fishing drones on the planet since 2014. All Cuta’s are hand made in South Africa with love and dedication, creating the most robust, reliable, and safest drones on the planet – you can rest assured your drone fishing has never been so safe, and fun.

Our core focus is pilot and people safety. How the Cuta flies and regulates the pilot is an essential element in assisting with the overall protection of the asset. Platform reliability, stability and useability is paramount, and this is our core focus.

As the leader in Fishing drone technology, Cuta is constantly innovating and pushing the boundaries. Cuta Copter was the first fishing drone manufacturer to use the PIX4 mini flight controller, DURANDAL and now the industrial grade CUAV NORA+. In addition, Cuta Copter created ‘World first’ multiple safety features including,

  • Low battery return to land with auto bait drop
  • Self-protect-Auto Bait drop on loss of signal
  • Self-protect – Auto bait drop on Loss of GPS signal
  • and the famous Anti pendulum flight mode.

In addition, ‘World First’ user features such as – ‘Click to Save’ and ‘Auto pilot bait drop waypoint missions, securing Cuta Copter as the pre imminent World leader and innovator.

The Cuta-Copter Australia team works very closely with Cuta Copter South Africa to continually develop and improve upon what is already considered the most advanced fishing drones in the world. Continual improvement is our mission – perfection is our goal.

The Innovator – Not an Imitator
