GOPRO-DroneFriday

DeveloperTown has a unique culture that is shown through so many out-of-the-norm experiences. These experiences range from tours with new clients, big ping pong tournaments, and even the Midwest Sour Wild Funk Fest by Upland Brewery! We recently had the chance to have TJ Johnson, Director of Engineering and Co Founder of AirDroids, come and do a demo.

 

TJ is the creator of The Pocket Drone - The world's first multicopter that's powerful enough to carry a high quality action camera and folds up to be smaller than a 7 inch tablet. Not only did he demonstrate the 3 propellor creation inside our building, he also took the mini drone outside and past its range, demonstrating to a small group of us how after many trials and errors he has created a great product that “can really take a licking".

 

A few of us even got to experience what it’s like to see a first person view of the flight with a set of goggles that wirelessly connected to the GOPRO that was mounted on the drone. Brian Howenstein, one of DT’s drone enthusiasts, piloted with the goggles on and navigated around the houses and rafters.

 

Check out the footage!
