Not to be confused with the Mecam wearable camera we featured yesterday, Always Innovating has unveiled their new MeCam flying copter camera, which has been designed to follow you and stream live video to your smartphone.
The footage can then easily be shared with your friends and followers via YouTube, Facebook, and other social media platforms. Watch the video after the jump to learn more about the MeCam flying camera project and see it in action.
The MeCam is essentially a mini helicopter, or Nano-Copter as its creators call it, that is equipped with video recording and streaming capabilities. No controls are needed, and you simply use voice commands to maneuver the copter around.
Advanced Features and Specifications
The MeCam flying camera copter is also equipped with a “Follow Me” feature, which enables it to follow your smartphone signal as you walk around. This feature is particularly useful for capturing dynamic footage without needing a second person to operate the camera. The MeCam is equipped with a 1.5 GHz Cortex-A9 processor, 1GB of RAM, micro-SD for storage, and WiFi/Bluetooth connectivity. These specifications ensure that the device can handle high-quality video streaming and storage efficiently.
Moreover, the MeCam includes a built-in stabilization system to ensure that the video footage remains smooth and steady, even when the copter is in motion. This makes it ideal for a variety of activities, from casual walks in the park to more adventurous outings like hiking or biking.
Practical Applications and Future Prospects
The MeCam flying camera copter is expected to arrive in stores during 2014 for around $49, making it an affordable option for both casual users and tech enthusiasts. Its ease of use and advanced features make it suitable for a wide range of applications. For instance, vloggers and content creators can use the MeCam to capture unique angles and perspectives that would be difficult to achieve with traditional cameras. Similarly, outdoor enthusiasts can document their adventures without the need for cumbersome equipment.
In addition to personal use, the MeCam has potential applications in professional settings. Real estate agents could use it to create virtual tours of properties, while event planners could capture aerial footage of weddings, concerts, and other large gatherings. The possibilities are virtually endless, and as technology continues to advance, we can expect even more innovative features to be integrated into future iterations of the MeCam.
We will keep you posted on its progress as more information is released. The MeCam represents a significant step forward in the realm of personal aerial photography and videography, and it will be exciting to see how it evolves over time.
