GoPro action camera owners that would like to take photographs from a different perspective may be interested in a new gadget that allows you to throw your GoPro camera, accurately and safely.
AER is compatible with GoPro HERO 3+, 4 and 5 action cameras and can be seen in action in the video below. The new GoPro gadget has launched a Kickstarter campaign to raise the €70,000 it requires to make the jump into production.
Innovative Design and Functionality
The AER is designed with simplicity and durability in mind. It consists of a foam body that securely holds the GoPro camera, ensuring it is protected during flight and landing. The aerodynamic design allows users to throw the AER like a dart, capturing unique aerial footage without the need for a drone. This makes it an ideal tool for adventurers, sports enthusiasts, and filmmakers looking to add a new dimension to their videos.
The foam construction not only protects the camera but also makes the AER lightweight and easy to carry. This is particularly useful for outdoor activities where carrying heavy equipment can be cumbersome. The AER’s design ensures that the camera remains stable during flight, reducing the risk of blurry or shaky footage.
Community and Support
The creators of AER have emphasized their commitment to quality and customer satisfaction. As stated in their Kickstarter campaign:
Because AER has a very minimal amount of parts that are all produced and assembled in the Netherlands, we have a clear overview of the whole process. If some issue with one of our manufacturing partners would occur, we can quickly respond to minimize delay. Significant delays are very unlikely, but if anything unforeseen happens, it will be communicated to our backers immediately.
This transparency and dedication to communication have resonated well with potential backers, who appreciate the assurance that any issues will be promptly addressed. The team behind AER has also highlighted their ability to maintain control over the production process, ensuring that each unit meets their high standards.
For full specifications visit the Kickstarter website via the link below where pledges are available starting from just €39 for super early bird backers with worldwide shipping expected to take place during January 2017.
The AER project has garnered significant attention not only for its innovative approach to capturing aerial footage but also for its affordability. Traditional drones can be expensive and require a certain level of expertise to operate. In contrast, the AER offers a more accessible and user-friendly alternative, making it possible for anyone to capture stunning aerial shots without breaking the bank.
Moreover, the AER’s compatibility with multiple GoPro models ensures that a wide range of users can benefit from this gadget. Whether you own an older GoPro HERO 3+ or the latest HERO 5, the AER is designed to accommodate your camera, providing flexibility and convenience.
