First let’s take a good look at this magic product. The smartphone-controlled drone—a mini hexacopter measuring just 5 inches across—is equipped with an onboard camera offering full HD 720p video. In-flight, the drone transmits a live video feed to your smartphone via Bluetooth. The drone itself is controlled by Wi-Fi, and can be connected to two smartphones at once for a virtual-reality experience and first-person-view flying.
