The 'VFO' flying disc is a neat toy that will enable you to capture the viewpoint of the disc when it's flying through the air from your hands, to other players in the game. The 'VFO,' which stands for Video Flying Object, features a [camera that is somewhat stabilized](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/insta360-x4-air) on a pedestal to prevent it from spinning too rapidly when thrown. The camera is capable of capturing 30 FPS in 720p HD video on the included 8GB microSD card.

The 'VFO' flying disc features a rugged design that enables it to be used just about anywhere you'd like including the beach, the park or the backyard. This is thanks to a [water-resistant design](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-aqua-drone) that protects the camera unit from becoming waterlogged.
