Revell Control C-me
$TBC, revell.de/en
Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No, it’s a flying phone! This is a tiny phone-shaped flying camera that’s going to supercharge your selfie game in 2017. The C-me’s smartphone-esque dimensions and collapsible propeller arms make it small enough to sneak into pockets, while the gutsy 8MB, 1080p camera matches the iPhone 6’s. All meaning you can get shots of yourself from every angle! It must be difficult to fly? The C-Me connects to a smartphone controller app via built-in Wi-Fi, auto calibrates and is ready to fly in seconds, so in theory it should be dead simple to fly. Take-off and landing is automatic. It’s almost too easy. What else can it do? The camera features a full 90-degree range of adjustability so you’re guaranteed to frame the perfect shot, and built-in image stabilisation means shaky videos are a thing of the past. In Follow Me mode the drone will track you to capture every minute of the action, and there’s even a built-in flash and video light to snap those late night shenanigans. Got your shots and videos in the bag? Share them straight to social media from within the companion app. This is wild! Tell me, when can I buy one? The C-me will be available in gloss black, red, purple or teal from your favourite online retailer or specialist hobby store this May. Time to take your selfies to the next level (drone selfies, what a scream)!
