Last week, the US Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved that UAVs can be used for film production, so the team behind PlexiDrone chose the best time. They hope to subvert this field through this combined UAV that can carry a series of camera equipment during flight.

According to DreamQii, the robot company behind it, the parts of PlexiDrone can be assembled and ready for flight in one minute. Just like the DJI Phantom four axis aircraft, the function of PlexiDrone is that its bottom can attach and connect your camera. However, unlike DJI Phantom, which is specially designed to carry a GoPro sports camera, PlexiDrone's mount can be customized and support any camera less than 1kg. It is recommended to include GoPro, 360 ° BublCam and even shooting with manual aiming operation.

PlexiDrone is tested on iOS or Android mobile devices and is equipped with retractable landing gear. The company said that it can avoid blurring due to instability. The GPS Follow Me feature will appeal to extreme sports fans, although it is not a new feature in itself. When you ski, ride or jog, carrying a mobile device on the tool can track you from behind. UAVs like Iris+, HEXO+and Air Dog also have this function, which indicates that GPS tracking is becoming a standard for UAVs focusing on photography.

What we haven't seen before is the Swarm function of PlexiDrone. If you happen to have many drones on hand, Swarm allows you to control all drones through one mobile device and shoot the same scene from various angles. According to past experience, just trying to control a UAV brings enough challenges, but it is obvious that this UAV is better at completing multiple tasks.

PlexiDrone is equipped with 5000mAh battery, which can fly for 15 to 35 minutes and has a flight control range of 1000m. PlexiDrone is equipped with a sensor in the front to detect objects within 3 meters to prevent collision.
