Small enough to be held in one hand but powerful enough for performing a number of [complex aerial maneuvers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pavo-femto), the SKEYE Hexa Drone is designed with [six propeller blades](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/microsmall-drone) that allow for maximum control and added movement when in-flight. Charging in just 30-minutes and providing around eight minutes of flying timing, the SKEYE Hexa Drone features LED lights to easily see it in the dark. When in-flight, the SKEYE Hexa Drone can be operated from about 164-feet from the included remote. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.5/10 - Popularity: 56% | Activity: 70% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Trick-focused Drones:** The increasing demand for drones to perform tricks and aerial stunts is creating opportunities for companies to design specialized drones with features that maximize control and complex maneuverability. - **Compact Aerial Gadgets:** As drones become smaller and more powerful, there is a growing trend for compact aerial gadgets that can be held with one hand and provide extended flying times for maximum enjoyment. - **Led-equipped Drones:** Adding LED lights to drones expands their usability, and creates opportunities for companies to design drones for flying in the dark, for specific displays or events, and for night-time surveillance. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Consumer Electronics:** As drones become increasingly popular as a leisure product, there is an opportunity for companies to corner the leisure drone market by investing in specialized drones that meet the needs of thrill-seekers and hobbyists. - **Entertainment:** There is a growing trend of using drones in live performances and shows for special effects, and there is potential for companies to innovate and create specialized drones and add-on features for maximum performance and display. - **Security and Surveillance:** Adding features such as LED lights to drones expands their capabilities and creates new opportunities for surveillance during low-light hours, and for maximizing visibility and range during search and rescue operations. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Multi-Mode Camera Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multimode-camera-drones.md) - [AI-Powered Hobby Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/skydio-2.md) - [Triple-Propeller Photography Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-hitop.md) - [Self-Stabilizing Photography Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-x1-selfflying-camera.md) - [Modular Self-Flying Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hoverair-x1-pro.md) - [Rounded Bi-Rotor Ducted Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cleo-dronut-x1.md) - [Cinewhoop-Style Camera Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dji-avata.md) - [Social Media Video Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/snap-pixy.md) - [Powerfully Propelled VTOL Drones](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vtol-drone.md)
