Woddon iConEyes quad-copter with Bluetooth streaming video camera

Posted by Charbax – April 29, 2013
Category: Robots, Exclusive videos, China Sourcing Fair, Android

I’m super excited about integrating cameras in quad-copters, on top of that they use Bluetooth to Android and iOS for remote control and for streaming back the quad-copter video! The Woddon Industrial iConEyes will sell starting in about one month for about 229 euro in Germany. The next version to be released maybe by the end of this year, with automatic person recognition, to follow you around without needing to control it, switching the battery on your backpack would be nice. The Woddon says all ideas are possible. You can see my previous Woddon remote controlled gadget videos here: http://138.2.152.197/2012/03/09/woddon-industrial-limited-shows-iosandroid-remote-controlled-helicopters-airships-and-more/ http://138.2.152.197/2012/08/31/woddon-industrial-limited-shows-robots-androidiphone-spy-wifi-car/ and http://138.2.152.197/2013/01/14/woddon-industrial-shows-remote-controlled-tank-helicopter-quad-copter-cars-and-more-at-ces-2013/
