With a mission to create a small, advanced personal drone that anyone could fly, a team of Micro Drone has reached its fourth generation.
They designed and developed a small, smart, and autonomous quadcopter drone mainly for aerial photography. It is devised with top-notch technology, empowering you to capture stable aerial video on a tiny HD camera Drone.
Micro Drone 4.0’s team has been making crucial changes in its design and has enhanced this gadget over time. Their consistent efforts have resulted in this palm-sized autonomous drone, which is truly innovative and pushes the boundaries of possibility.
It has actually overcome the belief that only very large, heavy, and expensive quadcopters are able to provide stable and buttery-smooth video footage. A team studied feedback received in previous versions and pulled all their efforts to design an ideal Micro Drone for all kinds of users. They concluded with the three prime requests and developed this drone on that same basis.
The most entertained request was to eliminate the steep manual piloting. To make an autonomous flight, integrated automatic self-hovering upon release of controls, which is the fundamental requirement to enable advanced autonomous flight capabilities, they said.
The second request was common, but the most essential one was to get the smooth HD 1080P video. Accordingly, the Micro Drone 4.0 features a two-axis mechanical gimbal to get rid of that shaky footage.
All these amazing features were expected to be available in an expensive and heavy drone. But creators have considered the third request and made available the “professional” experience within your means. Micro Drone 4.0 is available in an affordable package. In addition, they have a lot more features devised in this small gadget.
Micro Drone 4.0 self-hovers, holds altitude, and prevents drift for worry-free piloting. Regardless of this experience, it allows users to fly effortlessly. Combining the functions of both sensors that measure barometric air pressure and visual positioning from a downward-facing camera, a drone has acquired a stable, precise hovering in the air.
They said, “We sourced the world’s smallest and most powerful optical flow camera – the size of a surgical camera – which allows Micro Drone 4.0 to automatically hover on the spot for hands-free flight control.”
“We have integrated the best Qualcomm-based flight software – the first time to be used in a small-size Drone – that enables outdoor flying in a light breeze, which has been tried, tested, and proven in a number of high-end consumer Drones.”
Unlike other drones available, Micro Drone 4.0 launches quickly. You just need to hold the Drone up, click the power button three times, and the Drone launches from your hand and into the air in seconds. It is equipped with a self-hovering flight controller, which enables this quick launch.
Well, to offer computer vision smart shots, Micro Drone 4.0 partnered with NEURALA. Their cutting-edge tracking software locks onto the target to perform automated flight maneuvers. This will further add three amazing features as 360° Orbit, in which circle selected point of interest and auto-rotate alignment focus on the center focal point.
Similarly, cable cam reverses drone orientation to fly aircraft backward from the launch location. Lastly, it visually searches for a human hand to initiate landing in hand with an extended palm.
Each element of this gadget is designed intelligently and keeps the actual necessity in mind. So, to get clear, high-quality videos and photos across desktop/mobile devices, it devised a full HD aerial camera. The onboard video processor operates up to 1.2GHz (a very good microcontroller) for better shooting performance of 1080p at 30FPS or 720p at 60FPS.
Micro Drone 4.0 is capable of capturing more light for a clearer image, even in tricky light conditions, with a 1/2.3″ CMOS Sensor with an F2.6 aperture.
One more cool feature of this drone is its integrated onboard SD memory card reader. Here, you can save the video in high quality. Also, footage can be transferred between the Drone and the Phone using the Drone’s Wi-Fi connection easily.
You can seamlessly pilot Micro Drone 4.0 using its virtual joysticks on the App or combine it with the external remote to fly further. Using the Long Range Remote Controller, you can fly Micro Drone 4.0 up to 700ft.
It comes with a dedicated mobile application that is compatible with both iPhone and Android. This app allows users of any expertise to fly Drones seamlessly.
Let’s not miss an integral part of Micro Drone 4.0, its battery. It upgrades the battery to a two-cell 7.4v high-performance Li-Po battery, enabling a flight time of up to 13 minutes. The battery has a capacity of 1200mAh and a weight of just 26 grams; batteries can be charged using the Micro USB port built into the Drone. Also, you can carry multiple batteries on the go.
It’s foldable, so the compact design makes it easily transportable anywhere.
Additionally, it has several advanced safety features for ease of use and peace of mind. It is lightweight and quiet, immediately reestablishes App and Drone communications if the connection is lost, and alerts you when the battery level is low. Likewise, its intelligent collision avoidance system lands it safely even when the connection is lost.
Besides, it has a safety feature of damage prevention with the immediate motor shut down if the Drone flips or crashes, and you can set the range limit.
They mentioned, “To top off our aerial video tech package, we have integrated EIS that enhances the video stability and compliments mechanical stabilization, resulting in buttery-smooth and cinematic aerial videos.”
The Micro Drone team is effortlessly working to make the user experience better with time. Hence, they have provision to add additional features and accessories.
