Foldable Drone

A new drone was recently unveiled, which folds down to about the size of a water bottle, allowing for a broader range of consumer applications.

Known as Mavic Pro, its 4K camera is stabilized by a triple-axis mechanical gimbal. Five vision sensors, two ultrasonic range finders and 24 high-performance computer cores enable it to fly autonomously, avoid obstacles and hover precisely without GPS. Users can control the drone from their smartphones at a range of up to 4.3 miles (7 kilometers) with video streaming at 1080p short range and 720p long range. Total flight time is 27 minutes on a full charge.

The list price of Mavic Pro is $999 with a remote controller and $749 without.
