Pocket-Sized Spy Drone that can 'Follow' Someone for You

Tiny Drone that can 'follow' for you

Drones are deadly things flying in the air - these have resulted in the killings of thousands of innocent civilians at the cost of a few generally low to medium profile terrorists. Despite the concern of collateral damage, these continue to fly unabated and kill humans.

But there are some drones that can become fun for hobbyists - these range from very small to any size imaginable. Generally these toy cum spy drones are used for fun sakes unless someone has ulterior motives.

Today, I came across a pocket-sized helicopter like drone that can send back live video coverage of the area it is flying on.

Scroll down for video

The drone, costing mere $450, is so small that it can fit into a handbag, yet can give anyone the ability to spy from the air and it can automatically follow someone for you.

The Pocket Drone is piloted with a standard radio control unit, on a tablet with virtual sticks or by pre-defined GPS way-points. A flyer can simply drag a route for it in Google Maps, and the drone will automatically follow it.

You can also record, save and share, or download flight plans.
It even has a 'Follow Me' mode that enables the drone to follow the tablet or phone wherever it goes.

My Photography 2014

Sunset 4 January 2014 - Samsung Galaxy S4 Camera

The year 2014 has set in a almost a week ago. What lies in it for the remaining 51 weeks, only God knows. But for those with passion of photography, whether amateurs or professionals, each day has lot of things to observe and preserve the moments for life.

I being a novice but with a passion am always on the look out for a moment to catch - though usually it is the sun set that I am able to catch as the one above. 

I will try to catch more moments of the year and keep adding - hopefully using my Nikon Coolpix L820 instead of my cellphone - but most of the time I do not have camera by my side when my Galaxy S4 comes handy.
