The Micro Drone 3.0, which is the product of a crowdfunding campaign, is small, maneuverable, and packed with cool features.
The tiny drone is capable of streaming HD video to a tablet or smartphone and can handle winds of 45 miles per hour. For photographers, it also includes a user-controlled gimbal, which is a first for a drone of its size. For those who are eager to shoot using a drone, but not prepared to pay for a DJI Phantom 3, the Micro Drone 3.0 is an excellent option.
Below are several key features:
• HD video: The drone’s camera module shoots 720 x 1280 HD video at 30 frames per second.
• Gimbal: The Micro Drone 3.0 includes the small gimbal in the world, allowing users to control the angle of the camera mid-flight.
• Auto-leveling technology: The drone is equipped with intelligent motion sensors that allow it to hover and fly in straight lines.
• Multiple controllers: Users can control the drone using the included radio controller or an application that works on any iOS/Android device.
• Inverted flight capability: The Micro Drone 3.0 can fully invert 180 degrees and fly upside down.
• Customizable frame: Users can add to the Micro Drone 3.0 base to create larger drones and can also build custom frames using 3D printing technology.
