Passport Drone

Created specifically for taking aerial photography on the go,this drone that resembles a large passport (hence the name) comes ready to fly with a digitally stabilised 4K camera.

Which is a disappointment for those using other operating systems,maybe somewhere in the future they will make it compatible with Android.
