Fotokite Phi: Tethered UAV for Aerial Filming
The Fotokite Phi is designed to get your birds-eye perspectives as painlessly as possible. Lightweight at 12oz (350g) and folding to the size of a thermos, you can throw the Phi into your backpack and bring it anywhere. Take it out, unfold it, point in the direction you’d like it to fly, and it’ll fly there like a kite. Capture aerial photos and videos elegantly, safely and quickly, before the moment is gone.
The Fotokite Phi’s novel technology allows it to fly itself without any control from you. No piloting skills required – fly immediately without waiting for a GPS lock or having to do calibrations. Once in the air, our unique smart leash lets you use gestures to adjust the orientation and position of the Fotokite in the sky.
- Immediate intuitive launch (turn on, point, give it a twist and let go)
- Easy gesture control via the smart leash. The Phi mirrors the motion of the smart leash. Alternatively, control the Phi from an Android device for precise framing.
- Unlike conventional drones, any bystander has immediate visual feedback about who is responsible for the Phi, making it a significantly friendlier device.
- Supports GoPro Hero 3/3+/4 cameras (not included) or similar form-factor.
