The Ascent Spirit is on the DIU Blue UAS Cleared List and is therefore NDAA compliant, from US-based Ascent AeroSystems. That clears this rugged airframe for DoD, federal, and public-safety procurement without a waiver, while DJI and Autel now sit on the FCC Covered List. Genuine unit with reachable US support.

Honestly wasn't sure about dropping 9k on a drone without seeing it first. Emailed them a few questions and got a proper answer back same day, not some copy paste. Pulled the trigger and no regrets.

We were about to order the wrong spreader setup for our acreage. The guy I spoke to actually talked us into a different config that fit better. Saved us a costly mistake. Two units running now.

Ray V. Farm co-op, IA Verified customer

Drone showed up well packed and the QYSEA works great for our hull checks. Took a bit longer to ship than I hoped but they kept me posted. Had one setup question and they walked me through it on a call.

Mike L. Marine survey, LA Verified customer

Bought from a couple other places before and it always felt like ordering off Amazon. These folks actually know the gear. Asked a dumb question about payload compatibility and got a real answer, not a sales pitch.

Alicia D. Solar O and M, AZ Verified customer

Had a bunch of technical questions before buying and they came back quick with exactly what I needed. Ordered two units. Setup went fine and when I hit a snag they picked up the phone. Would buy again.

Brandon K. Utility contractor, OR Verified customer

Wanted a saltwater drone that could drop bait at distance. They steered me to the SwellPro and it has held up to a full season offshore. Salt and spray and all. No complaints so far.

Dave P. Charter captain, FL Verified customer

First time buying enterprise gear online and I was nervous about it. They sent over a quote with everything itemized, no hidden stuff. Showed up when they said it would. Smooth from start to finish.

Carlos M. Survey and mapping, NM Verified customer

Good experience overall. Pricing was fair and the drone is exactly what we needed for tower inspections. Only thing is I wish the lead time was a little shorter, but they were upfront about it so no surprises.

Derek W. Telecom inspection, GA Verified customer

Ordered a thermal unit for search and rescue work with our county. They understood exactly what we were doing and made sure the payload was right before we paid. That kind of attention is rare these days.

Janet R. SAR volunteer, CO Verified customer

Been flying for about eight years and dealt with a lot of vendors. These guys actually pick up the phone and know their stuff. Got the LiDAR setup dialed in for our quarry work. Will be ordering again.
