Awww, Mama and Papa Drone made a baby. I wonder how that worked. Gimbal attachments, perhaps? The half-ounce SKEYE Nano Drone is a tiny flying machine primed for airborne stunts and endless photo posts on Facebook. Only 3 days old, and my little SKEYE has already mastered his figure 8s and pooping while flying over the toilet!
Sophisticated circuitry, piezoelectric gyros, and accelerometers contribute to the Nano Drone's superior stability and maneuverability, and ready-to-fly technology, plus beginner, advanced, and expert modes contribute to the ability of any enthusiastic aviator to fly it. With 1.57" x 1.57" x 0.87" dimensions, SKEYE is also small enough to take and use pretty much anywhere.
The drone features a 6-axis flight control system with adjustable gyro sensitivity and LED lights for flights after dark. Flight time is 7 to 8 minutes with a range of up to 50m. SKEYE packages include the drone, a 4-channel 2.4Ghz transmitter, a USB charging cable, a user's manual, and 4 x spare rotors. Get yours for 40% off from Dude Exclusives for a limited time.

The Best RC Toys for Adults
The best RC toys for adults span well beyond remote control cars and drones. In the case of the giant RC Bald Eagle, a full 9-1/2-foot wingspan beyond remote control cars and drones. And, honestly, I'm kind of over drones...

AirDog Auto-Follow Drone for GoPro
Looks like tech that autonomously follows its owner around could be the next trend in Stuff You Can't Believe Is Real. Well, maybe not entirely autonomously. Like the HEXO+ and Double the roaming robotic iPad

Taxidermy Animal Drones
When I first read about, but hadn't yet seen, Copter Company's taxidermy animal drones I though they just sounded kinda goofy. Then I got a look at the Orvillecopter here. A spread-eagle taxidermied quad-cat-ter flying...

Nixie Flying Wearable Camera
The Nixie may be a ways from reality--and your wrist--but its live demo debut at CES 2016 proves it's a lot more than a few mockup drawings and some dude's dream (or, in this case, a dude and a dudette). The wearable...

Lily Autonomous Drone Camera
My friend Cornelius and I threw a Lily in the air once in 6th grade. She dropped like a sack of twice-baked bacon and brown butter potatoes. (Don't worry, there was a lake there to catch her.) But throw this Lily in the...
