‘I spy, with my little drone...’
    2016-11-30  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

    The SKEYE Nano 2 FPV is a tiny camera drone, measuring just 4 cm on each side, and 2.3 cm in height. The 17 g dinky* drone is capable of flying in six directions and performing aerobatic* stunts, according to distributor TRNDlabs.

    That makes it ideal for young secret-agents-in-training and the discounted US$99 price tag means that it’s not out of the reach of parents this Christmas. Views from the on-board camera are transmitted to the controller’s on-board camera, allowing you to see exactly what it does.

    That would make it perfect for spying on enemies’ tree houses or keeping the household dog on its toes.

    The drone also has the ability to hover in one spot, allowing the user to adjust its pitch, yaw and roll without worrying about it shooting off in the wrong direction. That makes it a little easier to get used to controlling the tiny device or to perform flips and barrel rolls. And once you have the hang of flying your tiny new buddy, you can adjust the sensitivity of the controls to better handle it.

    The Nano 2 also comes with built-in LED* lights for night-flying, and clips inside the controller when not in use.

    The only wrinkle is that its tiny size means an equally tiny battery so flights won’t last longer than 5 minutes at a time. And with a half-hour charge time, that might lead to a little frustration.

    The US$99 price tag won’t last for long and the TRNDlabs site will put the price back up to US$129 once its Black Friday promotion has ended.
