One SD card. Live video and telemetry from anywhere.
Flash it, power on, open the dashboard. AirCast turns a Raspberry Pi, a camera, and a 4G modem or Starlink Mini into a professional drone uplink — HD video and MAVLink telemetry, streamed straight from the device. No cloud account, no SSH, no setup scripts. Streaming in ~10 minutes.
Building it in the open · chat with the founder
Professional uplink. Zero setup.
Everything ships in the AirCast image — streaming, telemetry, and networking, managed for you.
Flash and Fly
Write one SD card with the Aircast Flasher, slot it in, power on. No SSH, no setup scripts, no Linux wrangling — the dashboard is live on first boot.
Video + Telemetry, One Link
Ultra-low-latency WebRTC video and MAVLink telemetry ride the same uplink — cellular or Starlink — served straight from the device. Point QGroundControl or Mission Planner at the endpoint and share the stream link.
Anywhere, for 1/5 the Cost
If your phone has signal, your drone does too — and where it doesn't, plug in a Starlink Mini. A $150 Raspberry Pi rig replaces $700–$5,000 enterprise kit — reach the dashboard and streams from anywhere over your private network.
What would you fly it on?
AirCast is built for anywhere the pilot can't see the aircraft. Tap the mission closest to yours.

Get Streaming in 10 Minutes
Flash, power on, open the dashboard — and you're live over 4G or Starlink from anywhere.
Flash one SD card
One click in the Aircast Flasher — no terminal, no unpacking.
Power on
It joins your network and brings up the uplink — 4G modem or Starlink over Ethernet — on first boot.
Open the dashboard
Stream, telemetry, and networking — all from your browser.
Ten minutes in, this is your control center — cellular up, telemetry ready, one click from a live stream.
or follow the 10-minute setup guide.
Every page, built for the field
Streaming, telemetry, and connectivity — each its own page, all served from the device. Tap any screen to enlarge.
Everything in one view — flight plan, live video, and telemetry together on a standard ground station.
Streaming
The video plane, powered by MediaMTX — ultra-low-latency WebRTC served straight from the device.
Telemetry
MAVLink over the same 4G link — point QGroundControl or Mission Planner at the endpoint.
Network
Cellular, Wi‑Fi, and a Tailscale panel — reach the device and streams from anywhere.
Measured in real flights
Not a spec sheet — numbers from AirCast running on real aircraft over live cellular networks.
Indicative figures from field testing — your results vary with hardware, modem, and coverage.
Your stream stays yours
Encrypted in transit, self-hosted by design — your video and data never leave your own network.
Encrypted end to end
Video rides DTLS-SRTP; control and the API ride TLS 1.3. Even when the stream crosses a carrier or Starlink, the transit operator sees ciphertext — not your feed.
No cloud account
Nothing routes through our servers. No frame, route, or telemetry leaves your network, and there is no usage telemetry phoning home.
You hold the keys
AirCast runs entirely on your own hardware. Servers, keys, and recordings stay under your control — fully self-hosted.
Free and Self-Hosted
Everything runs on your own Raspberry Pi. No cloud account, no subscriptions, no limits — just flash the image and fly.
