Drone wars at NAB 2015

  • 3DR

    3DR

    At last week's NAB show one of the hottest areas was video drones. Here's a quick look at what will fly past in the year ahead.

    3DR came out of stealth mode with a bang - and some very cool features. Point at an object, press "orbit" and the drone does a 360° around it. Or pick two points in space and the drone will move smoothly between them.

    This is a nice mid-range unit with a gimbaled HD camera. The servos keep the picture stable as the drone moves to keep viewers from getting seasick.
