Masterfully Maneuverable Mini-Drones

The Swing Mini-Drone Can Perform An Array Of Aerial Stunts

— September 2, 2016 — Tech
French company Parrot has surely made quite a name for itself in the nascent drone industry, and this is thanks to the release of innovatively conceived and carefully constructed products such as its latest and greatest offering, the fixed-wing Swing mini-drone.

What makes this particular mini-drone unique is the fact that it is capable of taking off vertically like a helicopter or indeed a quadcopter. Once it takes off in this manner, which doesn't require as much space as traditionally launched drones, the Swing can be used to perform a wide array of aerial stunts. The drone is capable of speeding along at a top speed of 30 km/h, which enables it to offer an eye-catching blend of zip and flair.

This mini-drone's wonderfully unique blend of compactness, functionality and ingenious take-off abilities make it a stand-out product for drone enthusiasts looking to expand their horizon
