Anura is a flying camera-equipped quadcopter that fits into your pocket so you can take it with you for the day. The creation of AeriCam, a four-year-old company founded by a commercial photographer with a passion for remote-controlled flying devices, the Anura is a flying quadcopter that, when its wings are folded into the main body, is about the size of a thicker iPhone 6.It connects with iOS and Android smartphones via Wi-Fi and has a built-in micro camera which offers a live aerial view on the smartphone’s screen. The connected smartphone also serves as the remote control for the Anura.
The foldable, pocket-sized drone is set to debut on Kickstarter in mid-October, where it will be available for pre orders AeriCam’s website says the “aim” is for the Anura to be priced at under $200.
Jason Lam, founder of AeriCam, says his company will need at least 500 backers for its crowdfunding campaign in order to start production. He adds that the manufacturer has agreed to integrate add-on features, such as auto takeoff, auto land, return home and follow phone – if the Kickstarter campaign gets at least 1,000 backers.
