World's Smallest Gimbal Drone

Micro Drone 3.0+ is taking itself to a new level. It is the world's first Micro gimbal drone and is truly one of a kind. Our new HD Wi-Fi camera module and gimbal have been designed from the ground up to give you smooth, stable footage in a lightweight package. The Camera’s Wi-Fi module acts as a flying router, creating its own network in the sky! The new 120-degree wide angle lens ensures an even better view of the world as you fly and film. The brand new single-axis mechanical gimbal is the smallest of its kind in the world today, and can be used for two unique purposes – stabilising the video footage as the drone moves and actively aiming...

Drone Racing goes mainstream.

The last year has seen drone racing go mainstream and with the release of our carbon kit just around the corner, we are taking a look into the sports rise in popularity. So when did it begin and why is it taking off so spectacularly? (no pun intended).It would be hard to specify one individual who is responsible for the creation of Drone Racing but you could be forgiven in saying that Scot Refsland can be seen as a ‘father’ figure of the sport. In 2014, he created a Berkley based group of drone hobbyists - that in one year grew from 10 to a staggering 700 people. While a number of drone hobbyist groups existed before this, Refsland's concentration...

The Extreme Fliers Team was at Worlds Fair Nano in San Francisco. The two-day festival filled with technology, futurist talks, art and music was the perfect place to hold our very own Micro Drone building workshop. Attendees were able to receive a workshop session where they were able to build the Micro Drone 3.0 from beginning till flight testing.  The modular build of the drone even allowed the younger generation to get involved and assemble the drone as-well!

Innovation leading The Way

The Drone market is moving faster than ever, the past year has seen hundreds of new entrants flooding the market with products that have similar functions. Key players haven't been able to keep up with the pace of technological change, with 3DR exiting the consumer Drone market and Parrot who have recently laid off a third of it's drone division. There is now a big consolidation, with fast moving start ups breaking through with new innovation and cutting edge technology. Last week we showcased the world's smallest Gimbal that utilises an integrated camera, gimbal, compression engine and WiFi module to deliver smooth aerial shots. It was demonstrated for the first time on the Techcrunch stage and caught the attention of...
