here the word quadcopter and you probably think of something like this but probably don't think of this yep it's a flying egg the power egg from robotics company power vision to be precise in the search for a friendlier and more approachable design that also protects the drone when traveling the company developed a camera drone that starts life as an egg but quickly converts to a quadcopter it's battery which is good for up to about 23 minutes of flight loads vertically in the top and on the bottom is a removable shell protecting its 4k resolution camera that rotates 360 degrees as well as sensors to help it fly under 12 feet indoors when no GPS is available outside with GPS assistance it will have a range up to five kilometers about three miles with HD video transmission to your phone or tablet and although it doesn't have collision avoidance it does have all the automated camera modes you might expect like follow me orbit Waypoint navigation and selfie and it'll also take off and land with a button press its control system is unique to power Vision separated the transmitter from the main controls so you can use a standard to stick controller or a one-handed gesture controller called maestro that basically lets you point where you want the power egg to fly you can preorder one through power visions website for one thousand two hundred and eighty eight dollars and it starts shipping in mid-october you
