Do you still remember when our parents used to pull out our milk teeth with a hook and thread? You probably already know that this technique, which is as old as a doorknob, has been forgotten and that today children are pulling loose baby teeth with drones. But this kid went one step further. His father, Rick Raihm, is a helicopter pilot and helped his son pull a tooth from a helicopter. Good thing he didn't pull out his head in addition to his tooth!

The popularity of drones is not waning. They will soon outnumber insects in the air, so it's understandable that vendors in this increasingly crowded market are using a variety of designs to entice buyers. The Monospinner will definitely get your attention as it is equipped with a single male propeller!
With more and more drones in the air, questions about the safety of these devices arise. A good example is the drone that almost fell on the head of skier Marcel Hirscher and opened many questions related to safety. All this would not have happened if the drone had "on its back" SafeAir, a parachute made especially for drones. This SafeAir Pyrotechnic Parachute Recovery Solution (or SafeAir for short) is cheap insurance for when a drone fails in the air. If until now in this case we could only pray that he would not be injured in the fall, now this concern is unnecessary.
Drones have recently become useful in more and more fields. But hardly anyone would have thought that it would also be useful in the world of art. The Flying Pantograph is a drone that draws. Namely, it repeats moves from a special board on which a person creates. The technology was provided by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).
The GoPro Karma Drone is the action camera guru's first drone. GoPro is considered the concept of action cameras, which brought fame to mobility and durability. But the champion among action cameras does not rest on its laurels, as the competition does not rest, which is clearly evident in the numbers. Given that their cameras are regularly carried on drones, it was only a matter of time before GoPro launched its own drone. That time has come. The first GoPro drone is called the GoPro Karma Drone (with a 4K camera), and you can admire its capabilities in an attractive clip.
Drone boarding is based on a similar principle to kiteboarding, except that instead of a parachute and wind, we rely on the power of the drone. Future sport? It certainly has great potential, as does the young boarder who demonstrates boarding with a drone.
The number of drones has grown by leaps and bounds in recent years. The first ones were used by American soldiers, but when the matter splashed into civilian waters and became affordable, they spread like mushrooms after the rain. They are used by many companies and individuals. If there is a bright side to them (quicker action in the event of natural disasters, control over infrastructure, media coverage...), due to the increasing saturation of the sky, they also represent a certain risk (violation of privacy, etc.). The Dutch police have therefore decided to take an interesting measure against drones that break the rules/law. She will send their distant "ancestors", the eagles, over them!
Watch amazing first-person footage from the drone race. We suggest that you do not watch the video on a full stomach, and those sensitive to light effects are not advised to watch it. Everyone else enjoy this crazy carousel spiced up with neon lights.
CES 2016 already offered a lot of interesting things in the field of future mobility, but something like the EHang 184 drone has never been seen before. While everyone is busy with autonomous cars, the Chinese company EHang surprised with a "life-size" drone for transporting people. The Chinese promise that this autonomous aerial vehicle (AAV) will be able to completely replace cars.
PhoneDrone Ethos is a drone that gives "wings" to your smartphone and allows you to observe and document your surroundings from a bird's eye view. Since the advent of smartphones, they have been grounded, but now you can give your phone access to the third dimension.
Vidius is the world's smallest drone that offers a first-person view. The Axis Vidius camera makes this possible. In pre-sale, the mini drone with four propellers will be sold for 69 euros.
Dronestagram, the Instagram for drone photography, has released the best aerial photos of 2015. The world from a bird's eye view has always been fascinating to humans, but with the advent of commercial drones, this view is no longer reserved for airplanes, balloons and satellites. Drones have become affordable and wildly popular, and you'll quickly see why when you take a look at the best drone photos of 2015.
