The VD-2 is a small quadrotor drone equipped with a high-definition camera, a directional microphone, and a blinding strobe light. It follows designated individuals at a distance of 2-5 meters, continuously recording audio and video, and deploying its strobe to disorient targets who attempt to evade or cover their face. The VD-2 is not a weapon in any conventional sense. It is a harassment platform that uses documentation as a form of violence.

Vantablack deploys the VD-2 against individuals of 'public interest' — a category defined entirely by Vantablack's editorial staff and encompassing anyone whose documentation might generate revenue. The drone follows them everywhere: into their homes through open windows, into bathrooms, into medical appointments. It records everything. The footage is owned by Vantablack. The subject has no legal recourse under GLMZ's broad documentation freedom statutes.

The VD-2's real weapon is the strobe — a high-intensity light that can cause temporary blindness, trigger photosensitive epilepsy, and create disorienting afterimages that persist for minutes. Deployed against fleeing targets, the strobe causes stumbling, collisions, and falls. Against individuals with optical augmentations, the strobe can cause feedback loops that damage enhanced vision systems. Vantablack classifies the strobe as 'illumination equipment for documentation in low-light conditions.'
