this top 5 video from CES 2016 is brought to you by mass drop our first top 5 drone of CES is the e hang 180 for autonomous aerial vehicle I mean holy crap the thing can actually fit a passenger inside it flies way higher than your average consumer drone but much lower than a jetliner at about 11,000 feet and can go 60 miles per hour for about 23 minutes you don't need any previous flying experience you just tell it to take off or land through a mobile app and a computer takes care of the rest like a commercial airplane it has redundancies built in such as multiple power delivery systems and an auto land feature if something goes wrong and encryption is built into the flight system to keep attackers from sabotaging your flight path it's connected to a knee hang command center that monitors every 184 drone in flight kind of like air traffic control and right now the biggest hurdle is approval from authorities like the FAA but eing says it's working with government agencies to get this thing off the ground so to speak it'll cost probably somewhere between 200 and 300 thousand dollars so you can choose between this thing a house or going to medical school the parrot disco is not a quadcopter it's got a sleek aesthetic and looks like an airplane with wings it's powered by a propeller and this combined with the wings uses less energy than trying to power up a bunch of spinning blades it adds up to 45 minutes of total flight time and it is pretty darn fast capable of 50 mile per hour flight it features automatic takeoff you just throw it and it starts flying meaning that there's no real learning curve and piloting is just a matter of telling it where you want it to go or turn to adjustments to make the thing stay airborne are handled automatically and it's expected to be available later this year our third drone continues our trend of getting smaller and smaller with the power-up fpv this is another wing design drone except that it's essentially a paper airplane that you can fly and we actually have covered power ups previous product before for more than five seconds and see where it's going it only weighs two ounces and is made from thick paper and powered by a pair of propellers you do have to fold it yourself which is either a pain or fun for the DIY included folks and it comes with a head mounted display thing to turn piloting into a VR experience simply by sliding in your smartphone it's got an autopilot feature to keep the plane in the air and can go up to 20 miles per hour with 10 hours of battery life power up is offering a racing package that comes with six drones and head mounted displays for a thousand bucks or you can get just one for a hundred and eighty dollars it's expected to be available in June the unique typhoon h was featured by Intel at CES why because it has an intel realsense camera so intel has been pushing realsense pretty heavily in laptops and other devices now it's in a drone the realsense cameras are completely separate from the main camera which shoots 4k video by the way and allows the typhoon to avoid objects and obstacles automatically without any input from the user unique and Intel are touting this as being more accurate than other forms of collision detection that we've already seen in drones the only issue is that at $17.99 at for the base model it's not exactly cheap and the version with realsense collision avoidance will cost more finally we've got the fly one of the strangest looking drones at the show as it looks like a floating white sphere or ball why well the moving parts are all enclosed in a plastic ball for safety for indoor use being the main focus it's very light as well only 1 pounds though it does look heavier making it good for kids or someone who just doesn't want to worry too much about damaging their stuff in the event of a collision it only features 10 minutes of flight time but it's surprisingly nimble given the shape as long as you're willing to pay $1,200 for it this drone video was brought to you by mass drop if you don't know what mass drop is basically it's a great place to get all kinds of cool stuff including drones yeah that's right drones the thing this video was about for a discount off their regular retail prices all you have to do is head over to draw adopts slash Lynas -
