Throwing Dart Cameras

The AER Lets Consumers Throw Their GoPros for Aerial Shots

— October 3, 2016 — Tech
Drone cameras are a great way to get sweeping aerial shots, but for those who don't have the requisite funds, the AER is a perfect alternative -- assuming the consumer has a decent arm. The device, which can carry GoPros, is shaped like a Nerf football, with a dart-like tail that adds stability and distance when it's thrown.

The AER itself is just a housing, meaning that consumers will need to have their own GoPros to use it. It's somewhat adaptable, accepting the GoPro 3+, 4, or 5. Once connected, consumers can safely toss the AER in any direction and onto any surface, and its foam casing will keep their GoPros safe from any damage.

The AER is even buoyant, so it can be thrown over water without any fear of losing the camera.
Trend Themes
1. Dart Cameras - The AER allows consumers to capture aerial shots by throwing their GoPros, providing a more affordable alternative to drone cameras.
2. Alternative Aerial Photography - The AER offers an innovative way for consumers to capture sweeping aerial shots without the need for expensive drone equipment.
3. Adaptable Camera Housings - The AER's housing design, compatible with multiple GoPro models, showcases the potential for customizable camera accessories.
Industry Implications
1. Consumer Electronics - The AER's dart camera concept presents disruptive innovation opportunities for the consumer electronics industry, especially in the aerial photography segment.
2. Sports and Adventure - The AER's throwable GoPro housing opens up exciting possibilities for the sports and adventure industry, enabling unique perspectives for action shots.
3. Photography Accessories - The AER's foam casing design highlights the potential for innovative photography accessories that offer protection and versatility for camera equipment.
