Electric aviation company unique has built out its typhoon camera drone lineup to include three versions one for use with the GoPro another with a 1080p camera and this the top-of-the-line q500 4k with a camera that captures at resolutions up to 4k at 30 frames per second and 1080p at up to 120 frames per second for slow-motion clips the camera is operated straight from its controller and unlike competing copters that rely on a separate smartphone or tablet for your first-person view from the camera this has a built-in 5.5 inch touchscreen the props spin up and wind down at the press of a button but you'll have to handle takeoffs and landings on your own which really isn't a problem since it stays very steady in the air it's a big quadcopter and comes with a case for hauling it around so if you're looking for something to stash in a backpack this isn't it the size does make it easy to spot in the sky though and it is noticeably quieter than smaller quad copters and flies very smoothly also while you won't find autonomous flight options like Waypoint navigation the Q 500 does have follow me and watching the options that will keep tabs on whoever or whatever has the controller at speeds up to 22 miles per hour and there's a dynamic return to home at the flip of a switch and you also get this the steady grip slide off the camera from the quad and attach to the grip and you have a camera completely stabilized for handheld shooting you can read the full review on cnet.com but if you don't mind its size and don't need things like Waypoint navigation this is a very compelling camera drone with enough features to make it worth your while I'm Josh Goldman we've seen it and that's a look at the unique Typhoon q500 4k you
