[MUSIC] The hover camera from start up 00 Robotics is a camera drone for people who are more interested in high angle images than actually flying something. It can completely fly itself, thanks to advanced proprietary computer vision and sonar and optical sensors. You just unfold it's compact carbon-fiber frame, toss it in the air and it will track your moves for up to seven minutes while it captures 12 megapixel photos or 4k resolution video. The hover camera's propellers are completely protected inside the frame so you and everyone else around it are safe. It's sensors keep it steady in the air, but the tiny camera in the front is also mechanically and electronically stabilized. it will keep you framed in the shot on its own or an ios or android app can be used to adjust its position with simple multi touch gestures. you can use the app to transfer shots off the drone and onto the phone for sharing. when you're done you just fold it up and go and at less than 215 grams it doesn't even need FAA registration.
