10 Futuristic Drone Concepts & Designs

Posted on by

Technology has been moving so fast that new devices and machines emerged to better help people. Take for example, the evolution of communication devices — from pagers to candy bar phones to the many variations of smartphones and tablets we see today — brought better and better features and enhancements. 

And technology has moved far beyond than that: now, advanced technology mechanisms are used everywhere, such as in creating the likes of autonomous vehicles, in which the most popular at the moment are aerial vehicles we know today as drones. And now drones have become so popular that individuals and companies alike have found tons of possibles uses for then. Here are some of the drone ideas we found:

GoPro’s Karma Drone

There had been a lot of camera drones out there in the market today. And of course, GoPro, the company famous for manufacturing action cameras, won’t allow itself to get left behind. GoPro just launched its Karma system, which it says is a compact and foldable drone system that can actually fit in the back pack that is included in the package. The company has begun to make the Karma system available on its website and in select sellers in Europe and is sold for €999.99, or €1399.99, if with HERO5.

Amazon’s Prime Air Delivery Drone

I recently watched “Storks,” that animated film where storks (yes, the kind of bird) actually delivered packages to customers. Interesting idea, indeed, but we can’t expect storks to actually deliver us packages. But drones can. This e-commerce giant, Amazon, proves that they are aggressive in making delivery faster for each of its customers and decided to work on  drones that can deliver your orders in less than an hour. Currently, the drones are in private trial to select customers. We’ll just have to wait for this to fully rollout. After all, it already has begun its first delivery last December.

Natilus: Cargo Drone

Another startup based in California, wants to make a similar attempt to that of Amazon, but bigger. The company, Natilus, came up with an idea of autonomous and amphibious drones that could transport upto 200,000 pounds cargo. Yes, it intends to operate similar to cargo planes at a much cheaper cost!

Jet Capsule’s UFO-inspired drone

This drone looks like a spacecraft that’s similar to those extraterrestrial films I’ve seen before. Though the company behind this idea, Jet Capsule, seems to project the drone as a ship-like vessel that would float on water.

This drone, called UFO, is intended to offer better amenities than your typical private jet, offering a transformable kitchen, a living and dining area, as well as a bedroom, within the two-storey architecture of the drone. This could also be our doomsday escape, if this eventually gets built out as it has a water generator that can covert rain and sea water into potable drinking water. 

Ehang 184 Autonomous Aerial Drone

We may also see a similar transportation service drone in Dubai soon. Called EHang 184, this drone is shaped like an egg and can carry a one person with a maximum weight of 220 pounds. That person can also carry a small suitcase or bag with him. Interestingly, this drone had already been tested to fly over Burj al-Arab and is expected to fly around in the Middle Eastern country in July.

Plan Bee Drone

Meanwhile, this drone is made to grow your garden in style. Created by a college student, Plan Bee is a drone that’s intended to artificially pollinate flowers. Now, drones are not only replacing tasks of humans, but also of insects, huh?

Skeeter: Dragonfly biomimetric microdrone for surveillance

Another participant in the animal-inspired drone is this biomimetric microdrone that is intended to look like a dragonfly. Conceptualized by British company Animal Dynamics, they wanted a drone that could mimic a dragonfly, including the wing-flapping movement the insect does. The tiny drone called Skeeter, which is expected to weigh just less than 30 grams, is intended cor covert surveillance  While still in testing phase, the company expects to have the machine fly in the next two to three months.

SkyOne: Oil Rig-Inspecting Drones

Drones are totally trying to address various problems across different industries. Another proof of that is Canadian company SkyX’s SkyOne craft, which is intended to inspect any damages gas and oil pipelines, thereby avoiding any catastrophic events, such as explosions from gas leaks. Something pipeline builders could definitely invest to.

DogDrones: Poo Scooper Drones

Too tired of cleaning up your dog’s mess? Here’s the drone for you! DogDrones consist of a fair of drones. First is the WatchDog 1, an aerial drone that has the capability to spot the dog poo through heat sensors, which would be detected by the installed camera. Once spotted, it will send signals to its tandem drone, Patroldog 1, which will move towards the poo and sweep it up. Problem solved! The drones are concepts of a Dutch based startup. While the idea is still in the early stages of development, all we have to do is wait and manually do the job for now.

Sea Lice-Killing Underwater Drone

While most drones are built for aerial purposes, there are also a few ones made for under the water. This one’s especially tailored to solve a certain issue in salmon farming in Norway — sea lice. Apparently, salmon farmers have been spending tons of money to battle against these parasites. So, Stingray Marine Solutions developed an underwater drone to help solve their dilemma. The drone is built with an image-recognition technology to detect sea lice and to throw out a laser pulse that will eventually kill them. How cool is that?

SKEYE Nano Drone with Camera

SKEYE Nano Drone with Camera 01

Just how much smaller can camera drones get, while still being able to record high-quality videos? The SKEYE nano drone seems to have been built as an answer to that challenge.

Nano drones such as this one represent the easiest way to get started with flying remote-controlled toys. SKEYE, which is available at a discounted price in our store, Walyou Deals, combines small dimensions with many entertaining features. As a consequence, not only kids, but also grown-ups will appreciate just how easy it is to control this drone.

Once you turn the drone on, all you need to do is throw it in the air. The throw-to-fly functionality definitely isn’t something you see in every device of this kind, and it’s only one of the many features that set SKEYE apart from other drones.

Flying it really couldn’t have been easier! The 3 flight levels (beginner, intermediate, and advanced) make SKEYE a drone that’s adequate for anyone, no matter how much (or how little) experience they have. In theory, you could give this to kids and see them flying it in no time, but this might not be the best toy for the young ones.

The advanced 6-axis flight control system, combined with the adjustable gyro sensitivity make the SKEYE very easy to fly. The low weight (only .49 ounces), and the small dimensions (1.57″L x 1.57″W x 0.87″H) surely contribute to that, too.

SKEYE can record video at 640×480, which is by no means a stellar resolution. On a 4K TV it will look extremely pixelated, and even on a 1080p one it won’t look that good, but on phones the video will seem rather decent. All photos and video are stored on the included 2GB microSD card, so make sure you back up the files from time to time, in order to prevent the card from getting full.

One of the main concerns people have when considering buying a drone is the battery life of the toy. The SKEYE nano camera drone features a built-in 3.7V 120mAh battery that keeps it in the air for 3 to 4 minutes. A full charge takes 30 minutes, so if you have a power bank with you, you can enjoy multiple flight sessions without having to return home. As for the controller, it requires 2 AAA batteries to function, but since these are not included in the package, you’ll have to provide your own.

For the next couple of days, you can find the SKEYE nano camera drone at Walyou Deals for $49.99, 27% off the regular price. If you’re just getting started with drones and aerial photography, this is definitely one of the best options for getting the hang of it before moving on to professional UAVs.

As usual, all sales are final, and orders are shipped for free to more than 40 countries. Deliveries are expected to take place between April 3 and 24.

Save 21% on the Axis VIDIUS FPV-Camera Drone

Posted on by
Axis VIDIUS FPV-Camera Drone 01

Several quadcopters have claimed over the past few months the title of “the world’s smallest camera drone,” but the Axis VIDIUS took things even further by adding FPV capabilities to the UAV.

Whereas in the case of most small-factor drones you can only record the action and watch the entire footage later, VIDIUS by Axis Drones takes an entirely different approach, and enables you to watch in real-time whatever it is that you’re filming. This might sound like a great premise for a spy movie, but I’d urge you not to use the drone for such things, as it’s not only unethical, but also illegal. That being said, Walyou Deals has the Axis VIDIUS on sale for a few more days, so read on to find out what makes this drone so special, and how you can buy it.

Axis VIDIUS is all about exploring, so it would make a great companion for hiking. Since it does away with the anxiety caused by drones that only record video without streaming it directly to your smartphone or tablet, the VIDIUS quadcopter allows you to always capture the action from the perfect angle. Without live streaming, you sometimes get the impression that it all could’ve turned out better, but VIDIUS really makes this a thing of the past.

With Axis VIDIUS you also get a lot of freedom, as the distance limitations are quite lax. The drone has a 100-foot range, which is more than enough for exploring your immediate vicinity without lifting a foot. There’s a lot of flexibility in terms of control, as you can use the included 2.4Ghz controller, a smartphone or a tablet. VIDIUS is able to stream both photos and videos from that distance in 420p. Both flight sensitivity and speed can be adjusted to your liking.

The battery life of the Axis VIDIUS FPV-camera drone is decent, as you’ll get 5 to 7 minutes of flight per 20-minute charge. That’s enough for capturing the surroundings, if you’re in the great outdoors, and considering the short time it needs for a full charge, you can pack a power bank with you to keep going.

One of the best things about the Axis VIDIUS quadcopter is that you don’t have to worry about registering it with the

Check out the following video to get a better idea of how Axis VIDIUS looks and works in real life.

To buy the Axis VIDIUS FPV-camera drone, head over to Walyou Deals, where it’s on sale for four more days at the discounted price of $74.99 (originally $95). The item is shipped for free to continental US addresses, and deliveries are expected to take place between February 19 and 22. Chances are you won’t be able to find this drone discounted after this offer expires, so act fast if you want to live stream the video feed of a quadcopter more easily than ever before!

Cheerson CX-10C: World’s Smallest Drone with Camera

Posted on by
Cheerson CX-10C World's Smallest Drone

Walyou Deals has made a goal out of curating exclusive items at discounted prices, and to prove that, these days it carries the world’s smallest drone that even has filming capabilities.

The product of A Mediocre Corporation, which is in fact anything but mediocre, the Cheerson CX-10C is a marvel of a drone. Not only is this miniature quadcopter capable of flying, but it also carries a camera module for getting started with aerial photography. As a matter of fact, Cheerson CX-10C is an ideal way of getting started both with drones and aerial photography. Once you handle this one well and know all of its secrets, then you can turn your attention to more expensive quadcopters that might be regarded as challenging if using them as your first drone.

Cheerson CX-10C’s blades are extremely fast, and thanks to them, this quadcopter can go in any direction, meaning that it can dip, dash, zip, spin and flip without any problems. Moreover, thanks to its LED lights, it can put up quite a show at night, especially if you decide to fly it in an area where there isn’t much artificial light.

Considering the size of this drone (2.44″L x 2.44″W x 0.79″H and 0.53 oz in weight), you can’t possibly expect it to carry a massive camera sensor. As a matter of fact, the camera this drone is equipped with can only shoot at 0.3 megapixel, which isn’t a lot, but it’s good enough for a starting point. Besides the drone itself, the transmitter that’s used for controlling it is also minuscule, so people with big fingers might have a problem using the drone’s remote controller.

The included 3.7V 120mAh battery takes 25 minutes to charge, and can keep the drone in the air for about 4 minutes, depending on how you’re flying it and how many tricks you do. On the other hand, the transmitter relies on 2 AAA batteries to function, and those are really easy to come by, so it wouldn’t hurt to keep a few spare batteries nearby when flying the Cheerson CX-10C. Once the drone’s battery is fully charged, you can get it to fly up to 98 feet away from you. More than that, and you probably wouldn’t be able to see it, anyway, so the distance is decent. Bear in mind that the drone features 3 speed flight modes, so make sure you’re familiar with all of them indoors before taking the quadcopter outside.

The package includes the world’s smallest camera drone in black, an RC transmitter, 4 spare blades, an USB charging cable, a screwdriver, and a 2GB microSD card for storing images and recorded videos.

To make sure that the world’s smallest drone ends up under your tree, this Christmas, head over to Walyou Deals and order the Cheerson CX-10C for $34.99 (originally $50) within the next two days. It definitely makes a great gift either for you or for your kids, so don’t think twice before buying it!

UDI U818A Drone Shows Its Acrobatic Skills

Posted on by
UDI 818A Camera Drone 02

While most drones are limited to moving in the horizontal and vertical planes, UDI U818A also has some acrobatic skills, as it can evert at the flick of a button.

Thanks to its 6-axis gyroscope, the UDI U818A is extremely precisely during flight. Imagine what it would be like for a drone with an erratic flight pattern to attempt performing an eversion. There’s no point in saying that it would end disastrously, as that’s pretty obvious. UDI RC, the manufacturer of this drone, takes pride in having created a quadcopter that does 3D full flight, meaning that it can go Up/Down, Left/Right, Forward/Backward, Leftward flying/Rightward flying without any problems.

On top of that, UDI U818A is also capable of flying in suspension, as well as doing 360-degree flips. These tricks, along with the previously mentioned flight patterns make the drone quite versatile, fact that ensures endless fun while flying it, for both kids and grown-ups. Even though the quadcopter is built so that parts of its body also act as blade guards, the manufacturer’s recommended age is 14 years and up, as younger kids could approach the blades without realizing the consequences.

The 3.7V 500mAh LiPO included in the package takes approximately 120 minutes to fully charge, upon which it can keep the drone up and running (or rather flying) for anywhere between 6 and 9 minutes. That variation is caused by whether you decide to shoot video while flying the drone. The controlling distance is of about 30 meters, and while you could argue that there are drones that go much farther than that, I have to ask you what is the point of all that if you can’t see the acrobatic tricks the drone is performing?

Included in the box are the 2.4Ghz remote control, a battery charger, the battery, one set of 4 spare propellers, a 2GB microSD card and a spare screwdriver.

The 2GB microSD card that comes with the drone is used whatever video or photos you shoot with the included camera module. As far as this aspect is concerned, the resolution could be better (the module records at 640×480), but for a beginner who is more interested on how the camera moves rather on the quality of what it records, the UDI U818A is great. There is no live feed, so every time you need to see what the camera has filmed, you’ll have to download everything via USB cable.

Make sure you check the Drones category of our site if you’re looking for quadcopters with HD cameras.

UDI U818A can be purchased on Amazon for $84.95 (with more parts and bundles available here), so if conventional drones bore you, and think that acrobatic tricks could change all that, don’t think twice! Ordering it now ensures delivery before Christmas, so you’ll even get to make yourself or your kid happy these holidays with a gift like no other.
