Buzzing around with the world’s smallest camera drone

The Skeye Nano Drone is one of the smallest in-camera drones in the world right now. Despite measuring in at a whopping 4x4x2.2 centimeters, this little whippersnapper boasts a tiny 480p camera for shooting videos and snaping pictures. But how does it compare to some of the beefier quads on the market? We took one for a spin to find out.

Somewhat unsurprisingly, the Skeye Nano is not the most stable quadcopter we’ve ever flown. Controlling the altitude is a bit challenging, but the Nano is actually pretty stable when it comes to moving side to side and making turns. You’ll get about three to four minutes on a single charge, and the range is advertised to work up to 500 feet away.

While the footage isn’t exactly high quality, it’s definitely still fun to watch after your flight. We were actually quite impressed with how stable the footage was for such a small drone. And if that doesn’t get you excited, the Skeye Nano also has an advanced flight mode where you can perform flips at the push of a button — which we found to be highly entertaining.

Overall, there’s definitely some room for improvement when it comes to controllability, but even with the squirrelly controls, you’ll still have quite a bit of fun flying the Skeye Nano and watching your footage afterwards.

Turkey’s new machine gun drones are proof that we live in a cyberpunk dystopia

From drones that fire webs to ones able to land vertically on walls, there is no shortage of crazy concept drones out there. Both of these pale into harmless insignificance, however, compared to the latest drone created by Turkish electronics firm Asisguard. What makes the Songar drone so headline-generating? The fact that, unlike regular four-bladed quadcopters, it uses eight blades to enable it to fly. Oh, and the fact that it comes with a mounted machine gun and 200 rounds of ammunition for riddling targets with bullets from the sky. That bit as well.

Anyone who has ever flown a drone will know that piloting one accurately can be a bit of a challenge. That’s one of the things that makes great drone racers or photographers so talented. It’s no surprise, then, that machine-gunning targets from a flying unmanned (but not unarmed) aerial vehicle is a little bit tough. To make up for that, and compensate for recoil, Songar uses cameras and a laser rangefinder to help calculate metrics such as distance, angle, wind speed, and more. It also uses a pair of robot arms to move the machine gun as it fires to lessen the impact of the recoil.

Whether it’s advanced security systems capable of singling out troublemakers in a crowd or police UAVs used as an alternative to helicopters, there’s no doubt that drones are often on the side of law and order these days. But New York artist Katsu, in combination with Moscow-based startup Tsuru Robotics, is striking a blow for drones as instruments of rebellious behavior with his new graffiti drone.
