The new gizmo being promoted for overhead selfies should have a decent size market. With any imagination at all, you should be able to conceive of uses for it. However, methinks the whole selfie boom is mostly a joke. In the recent past I had my own TV show on local CTV. By necessity, since in-studio tech people were in short supply, the programs I produced were selfie shows. I set up the camera after first preparing my living room for the purpose, and then gave a talk or showed images, etc. After several weeks I was totally discouraged by all of this. I did my very best but, face it, there is only so much you can do as a one-man-band. To say the same thing, if a TV network had low production values, over-relied on just one person, necessarily worked with a nano-budget, etc, it would not be in business very long. And good riddance. The real task simply has to be: Finding people with a variety of talents to produce quality programs Finding a working budget to make the most of, and Finding the very best content to broadcast over the air. Any other view, even if micro-drones sell a million units, it is really stupid to bet on selfies if you are serious about television. Think of what you could do with a micro-drone in a professional level studio with professional level staff and superior content. Billy ----------------------------------------------- GadgetKing.com AirSelfie Is A Mini-Drone Made Specifically For Taking Selfies
Posted on Nov 21 2016 Unfortunately it looks as if the selfie is here to stay, so you might as well improve your selfie game. This tiny quadcopter hopes to take a few users away from the infamous selfie stick. The _AirSelfie_ (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1733117980/airselfie/description) is small enough that it fits inside of a cellphone case. Simply pop it out of the case and have it fly up to 66-feet away where its 5MP camera can take pictures or video. The pictures are stored onboard with 4GB’ s of memory. Flight time is just 5 minutes which should be fine as selfies shouldn’t last that long. They just shouldn’t! Fly AirSelfie and control it directly through 3 different flight functions: * Selfie mode, the easiest one, with just two directional buttons to make AirSelfie move far or close to you. * Selfie Motion Control mode, control AirSelfie in real time with the virtual joystick provided by App. * Flying mode, where the device is held horizontally and replaces a classic controller. Once you’ve found the perfect positioning for the shot, AirSelfie stays still, thanks to the hovering function. The AirSelfie is currently living at _Kickstarter_ (https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1733117980/airselfie/description) and hopes to start shipping by March 2017..... -- -- Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community <[email protected]> Google Group: http://groups.google.com/group/RadicalCentrism Radical Centrism website and blog: http://RadicalCentrism.org --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Centroids: The Center of the Radical Centrist Community" group.
