Fotokite Phi - a drone on a smart leash that you fly like a kite

Remember when we used to fly a kite as kids? Those were the days when Apple and Blackberry were just fruit. Today, children fly drones instead of kites, and instead of apples and currants, they hold smart devices in their hands. But if you have trouble maneuvering the drone via your phone, consider the Fotokite Phi, which requires no sense of coordination to operate. It is a drone on a smart leash, which you let down like a kite and follows you like a helium-filled balloon. You can pre-order it on Indiegogo.

Phi photokits it is 300 grams a drone on a smart leash that you fly like a kite and you carry it in a sleeve that resembles the one in which you keep a set of 10 badminton balls. The aim of the Swiss company Photokits from Zurich, which created it, is that it would be aerial shooting easy and safe. And with Phi, they succeeded. Namely for steering you don't need a smartphone, GPS technology and control levers.

You manage Phi's photokits right via an electronic leash, which also prevents awkward situations like the one that happened "Run Forrest run" to a man (Fotokite Phi is 100% reliable and cannot escape from you and thus overestimate its abilities) or those that can hurt someone (yes Enrique Iglesias, we're watching you). It is also extremely safe, as it uses ti safe propellers (they are rubbery and spin slowly enough to keep even Iglesias' fingers intact). It is also compatible with GoPro action cameras (it is also the lightest platform for cameras of this brand), charge its battery via USB cable, and fold it with one stroke like an umbrella.

A drone instead of a kite or a helium balloon.

And how do you use the Fotokite Phi? Point it where you want it to fly, twist it and it will fly away like whales over the sea. The leash always remains taut during flight, if you want to change the location or movement of the drone in the air, however hold the button on the smart leash and rotate your wrist. You can use it indoors (including a cave), on a boat, on a bicycle, in short, anywhere, just be careful of the electrical wiring and branches, care that you flew off into the sunset but it is superfluous, because it will never be really far. You don't even need to buy this drone, as it's just a few clicks away, and pre-orders are being taken on Indiegogo.
