Thu, Oct 8th 2015 10:44am — Daily Deal

Good things come in small packages. The $34.99 SKEYE Pico Drone is tiny and cute but promises loads of fun. This nimble little drone comes pre-programmed with multiple flight modes suitable for all skill levels. It can dive and flip in tight spaces (up to 50 m away), be seen at night with its LEDs, and fits conveniently in the remote control for storage. It comes with a USB charging cable, 4 replacement rotor blades, and a 4-channel 2.4GHz transmitter.

Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.

Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.

While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.

–The Techdirt Team

Wow, that thing is tiny! Too bad there's no camera.

I don't want it unless it can fly high enough to freak out the FAA thinking that it is a hazard to aircraft.

Re:
I'm pretty sure there are cameras that are small enough to be mounted there.

The problem isn't the camera, which, in most cell phones, fits in a 6mm cube, it's the circuitry and transmitter required to support it, which is a whole lot bigger.
