Looks like the world of Selfie Drones is heating up. For people who like to travel or do sport/adventurous activies, the selfie drone has found a home. Selfie Drones are not like our Typhoon. They don't have the range, payload, In-depth controller, battery flight time or cool features but they are super portable!
Yuneec has recently launched the BREEZE with a 4K camera (which moves up and down to follow the subject) and the entire drone folds up into a nice portable package. So far it sits at an OK price point and has minimal competition.... but that is about to change.
GoPro is set to release the GoPro Karma on September 19th. It is designed to follow the user in order to obtain those great GoPro sport views that we've all become accustomed to. The only problem is that if you want the GoPro Hero 5 and the drone, you'll have to open your wallet really wide! Photo of the Karma is below. There is no word if the Karma is water-proof... If it is not, then there will be plenty of surfer dudes upset. The Karma is "rumored" to use a tracking device similar to the Yuneec Wizard, but in a different form factor. Oh... and the other rumor is that the Karma can fly indoors like the Yuneec Breeze and also has obstacle avoidance (the sonar kind).
Next is DJI. DJI will release the DJI Mavic on September 27th. The Mavic is another compact drone that has arms/landing gear, that folds out. I think it is the only dark colored one on the market. It is rumoured to be like the Yuneec Breeze with a 4K camera.... that moves up and down, and side to side???? (only a rumour). DJI is really good with their software, so I'm guessing the big selling feature will be in what this drone can do based on the DJI flight software. Rumor has it that it can fly really high (like a real drone), and at a distance (like the drones we have come to know). Price... Well it is a DJI product, so expect it to be like an Apple product and priced much higher than one would expect at first.
The future of drones is getting interesting!
