Photography, in Flight
The first time I ever watched a Smart Drone video I was blown away. The thought of having the ability of soar amongst the birds and shoot is amazing technology. No longer are we “stuck on the ground” per se, we can rise above and shoot from the clouds. Not only is this amazing for personal photography, this is amazing for safety and businesses as well. Just imagine having 180 degree access to the skies above you? That’s amazing!
Solo, the Smart Drone, arrived in over 400 Best Buy stores on June 8, just in time for Father’s Day. So now dad can take his photography in flight. It’s the first-ever 3D Robotics solo drone that is powered by two integrated Linux computers, making capturing the perfect shot easy for anyone.
