User-Following Drones

The FlyPro 'XEagle' Smartwatch-Controlled Drone Captures Autonomously

Not having an operator to capture your exploits when heading out means losing out on footage, so the FlyPro 'XEagle' smartwatch-controlled drone is designed to be your autonomous cameraman.

Rather than have users control the drone via a smartphone, the FlyPro 'XEagle' works to provide users with a wrist-worn device that will make keeping you in frame easier than ever. Whether you want to simply be followed or get a more customized filming experience, the FlyPro 'XEagle' enables this by packing pre-programmed settings and the ability to go rogue into the device.

The FlyPro 'XEagle' smartwatch-controlled drone is currently available for preorder on Kickstarter and offers early adopters a massive discount on the set price point for the package. With consumers opting to go it alone rather than with a friend more than ever, we could see more innovations targeted toward single individuals.
