Check out this new drone from a company called Air Droids called The Pocket drone. Marketed as your very own personal flying robot. This new unit allows you to mount a GoPro for some incredible aerial footage while also being able to fold it down to a package thats only 7 inches long. Imagine packing this unit right next to you DSLR where you would normally pack you 70-200 f2.8 lens. Now that's my kinda drone. This little machine packs a GPS unit and will allow for route planning using google maps and can be controlled using both a standard controller and an android or in the future IOS device. I am waiting to see some actual real world tests to see how it compares to DJI's Phantom. Stay Tuned for updates as I follow this one.
This is truly some of the best footage that I have seen from a drone yet. Wildlife Photographer and drone makerWill Burrard-Lucas shows here a very compelling view of the Serengeti.
"It's not just a Phantom with a camera, it's a whole new product. Both its user friendliness and consumer-friendly technology makes the DJI Phantom 2 Vision easily the best product for someone who wants to take great quality videos and pictures from an aerial viewpoint without having to spend a lot of time fiddling other quadcopters."
