# Smartphone Drone Cameras The 'SELFLY' Smartphone Case Camera Drone Captures Photos From Afar By Michael Hemsworth | Published 2017-01-26 | Tech Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drone-cameras References: [geeky-gadgets](http://www.geeky-gadgets.com/selfly-smartphone-case-camera-drone-25-01-2017/) & [kickstarter](https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/selfly/selfly-camera-the-smart-flying-phone-case-camera) The 'SELFLY' is a smartphone case camera drone that enables users to make use of drone cameras without having to carry oversized equipment with them. This is because the 'SELFLY' case incorporates a [miniature photography drone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-mini-5-pro) onto the rear section of a smartphone to make it possible to utilize it at a moment's notice. The 'SELFLY' smartphone case camera drone is purported to be compatible with a number of different smartphone models and features a camera built-in to the flying drone itself. The drone cameras will come in handy for those that find themselves in situations where there's no one around to take a photo or as a means of capturing pictures from different angles. When the drone is no longer needed it slips easily into the rear section of the case. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.3/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 71% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Miniature Photography Drones:** Exploring the production and promotion of miniature drones for various uses for more compact and convenient photography experiences. - **Phone Integrated Drones:** Incorporating drone technology within smartphone cases to introduce a convenient and dual-functionality photography experience. - **Compact Drone Cameras:** Exploring the development of compact and easily manageable drone cameras to replace larger and bulkier photography equipment. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Consumer Electronics Industry:** Manufacturing and marketing of compact and innovative drone cameras as a complementary photography solution for customer's smartphones. - **Photography Equipment Industry:** Expanding the production of compact, easy-to-use and versatile drone cameras that are more accessible to everyone without the need of carrying extra equipment. - **Mobile Phone Industry:** Incorporating drone cameras within the smartphone case technology as an additional camera option that is easily accessible for both personal and professional photography needs. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hovering Selfie Drone Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/camera-x1.md) - [Self-Stabilizing Photography Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-x1-selfflying-camera.md) - [Multi-Mode Camera Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimode-camera-drones.md) - [Social Media Video Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snap-pixy.md) - [Foldable Camera Drone Units](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-1.md) - [Smartphone-Friendly Action Cams](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/domono-smart-camera.md) - [Smartphone Dual Screen Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfix.md) - [Modular Self-Flying Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-x1-pro.md) - [Secondary Display Smartphone Cases](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/selfix-case.md)
