Three years ago, it was necessary to shell out mountains of money and send a loud and rather large unmanned aerial vehicle into the air for high-quality aerial shots with a drone. Today, thanks to Extreme Flyer's Micro Drone 3.0, you can capture the action in 720p quality with one of the world's smallest drones. You can pre-order it on Indiegogo for a calculated 135 euros.
By now, we've kind of gotten used to the shape of drones, which, frankly, isn't the most practical. It is a rather concrete and cumbersome piece. Well, the Sprite drone defies design standards and has chosen its own unorthodox shape. Instead of width, it has grown in height and acts like a slightly larger battery and some kind of mutated insect. You can pre-order it on Kickstarter and expect it as early as July 2015.
Some people "pimp" cars, but YouTube user Olivier C decided to "pimp" his four-propeller drone, which he turned into a replica of the Millennium Falcon spaceship from Star Wars and also equipped it for an even more dramatic look with LEDs. The characteristic music accompanying the flight recording is just the icing on the cake.
Unmanned aerial vehicles, or drones, as we affectionately call them, are becoming an indispensable tool for people who want to create stunning footage, the kind of which we could only see in movies or documentaries a year or two ago, and behind which there was a camera crew and a ton of logistics. With the Hexo+ drone, which follows us automatically, all this is a thing of the past, because now it is possible to record jumps and similar shenanigans without any help.
Drones or unmanned aerial vehicles are one of the fastest growing technological innovations, which are already used in many fields. Although we initially associated them with the military, they are increasingly being used for commercial and private purposes, where activity recording dominates, but Australia's Ars Electronica Futurelab has used them to create art. 3D creations, something between fireworks and a 90's screensaver, were created with these Spaxls.
Google Street View can hide from this view. I don't know where, because Uncle Google has covered almost every corner of the world with his car, but since he doesn't have an airplane exam, certain things are still not covered. And this is where TravelByDrone has now stepped in, a map that gives a new dimension to the beauty of the world with drone footage.
For many years, aerial photography was just a dream of photographers, but with the advent of low-cost 'trots', drones, this kind of photography literally flew into the sky. Check out the five best photos from the contest of the French branch of National Geographic and Dronestagram in our gallery.
AirDog is your personal videographer that flies high but doesn't fall low. It is considered to be the first unmanned aircraft of its kind - drones, although the same title belongs to the Helica Aerospac and the Squadrone System with its Hexo+. But about that another time. The 1.7 kg AirDog defies rain, snow, cold and wind at a speed of up to 40 km/h, reaches a maximum speed of 64 km/h and sees with the help of a GoPro camera (this can be purchased).
