Iris+: Shoot Awesome POV Videos!

All action packed movies have one thing in common: awesome aerial shots. From spectacular car chases to epic landscapes, Hollywood magic does its tricks to create a dynamic viewing experience that really dominates over many weak or cliche plots of these movies. With such cool viewing angles, many might want to try recording their own epic POV video's, such as zipling over a vast beach, or intense rally racing, but do not want to invest too much as many movies often do. Fortunately, there is a solution to that, and they are hovering mini copters carrying a camera. One of the many copters available is the Iris+. The Iris+ is a quadcopter drone that has a unique feature; with a gps enables android device, the quadcopter will follow you and adjust the camera so that the user will constantly be in the middle of the video, and has 2 axis stabilization so that your video is almost rock solid. Unfortunately, the GoPro cameras will only be compatible with this device, and does not feature any collision detection, so be careful when using the FollowMe feature as this thing costs $750. The user can also control this remotely with a program available for IOS and Windows operating systems. Its battery life is a max of 15-22 minutes, less when carrying the GoPro, and will go back to its original launching point when running out of batteries.
