Everybody loves to take selfies and photos with phone cameras. Selfies and photos would be so much fun if we don’t have to use our hands and can take it from whatever distance and height we want. Well, with the invention of AirSelfie, it is now possible. AirSelfie is a pocket size drone that can help you to remotely capture photos and videos. Edoardo Stroppiana, an Italian entrepreneur, came up with this idea in 2014. AirDrone is specifically designed to reduce the complexity of drone cameras which includes its size and cost. With this camera you can take picture of your family, friends, corporate discussions and a lot more at any angle and limited height.
Specifications
The basic component of AirSelfie includes a 5 MegaPixel camera and 4GB microSD card. The camera is capable of recording full hd videos. It includes 4 rotors that help it to fly upto 20 metres and have very small dimension 3.72 inches*2.65 inches*0.42 inches which is smaller than a smart phone. In order to maintain stability and altitude, it uses sonar along with tiny cameras monitoring surroundings. For the purpose of navigation, it consists of gyroscopes, barometers and geomagnetic sensors.
How to Use?
AirSelfie is controlled by a smartphone using its own app available on Apple store and Google play store. The app can be used to control the movement and height of the drone and further the drone can control itself autonomously. Photos and videos can be take by just a finger touch on your smartphone or you can activate a 10-sec timer to do the same. According to the company, the drone can take 8 consecutive shots. The drone uses WiFi to transfer photos and videos to the smartphone or it allows to post the same on social network sites immediately.
The first prototype was developed on Nov 17 and available for its preorder. It reached its first goal in 3 days with an amount of $47000+. Also, it has raised more than $0.5 Million dollars with 2300 backers. According to Stroppiana, the company also received $3 Million from private angel investors. The drone will be priced at $300 and will be available in the market in 2017.
