One Day We’ll All Have A Drone

by The Editors on July 1, 2014

With 13 days to go the Hexo+ autonomous action cam drone has raised over $971,101 on Kickstarter. Their goal was only $50,000. Makes us wonder if there isn’t some fuzzy Silicon Valley VC math at work here, but either way it would appear that we’re all one step closing to having drones follow us everywhere we go capturing every boring minute of our action sports lives. Where will we find the hard drive space?

the crucial problem of today is storage. I am just curious to see the response of technology to this issues.
I think it is great time to think about how to compress data in a much more efficient way without loosing information.

AirDog is the auto-follow drone for GoPro camera that follows and films you autonomously, so you don’t need to rely on filmmaking crew to get breathtaking views. Forget about remote control operation – Airdog is a unique solution for action sports or anything else you wish to film without actually holding your GoPro.

Have a look at our Kickstarter page: http://bit.ly/KickstartAirDog

There are four major AirDog advantages:
1. It is tested and working prototype ready for production.
2. It will be the first commercial product of its kind in the market from November 2014.
3. It has AirLeash – waterproof GPS device tracking your movement with a significantly better signal than smartphones.
4. Two years of R&D invested into the creation of a working prototype to get the best possible solutiion.

Airdog – your new best friend.
