Same company just released this one at InterDrone. Nearly 30 minutes flight time. PowerEye - “flying robot”

That looks incredible. Any idea what it will cost?

 

[Brandon]

As of last week, they had not finalized the pricing but suggested it will be in the $1000 range.

 

[Anton Chigurh]

Wow. That is very tempting, especially considering that I own a Micro 4:3 camera and a number of prime lenses.

ETA: I have tried calling their support number to ask a couple of questions and get a fax prompt. I will try e-mail and will post if/when there is a response.

 

[Anton Chigurh]

Well, they got back to me via e-mail VERY fast (as in 4 minutes), but with no real information. This is clearly a canned answer, but here is their response:

Thank you for your interest in PowerVision and our products. We are working hard to get PowerEye ready for preorder and will announce preorder timing, pricing, all product specifications, and expected shipping time very soon. Please continue to visit our website (www.powervision.me) and our Facebook fan page (需要安全验证) for updates.


Thanks,

Vivian

I just got another e-mail from PowerVision and this one doesn't appear to be canned:

We’ll be releasing the full specs and release day on PowerEye in the coming weeks. What I can tell you is that we’re aiming to make this one of the most advanced, feature rich drones in its class.

I’ll keep your information handy and as we get more information I’ll be sure to send it your way.

Thank you,

I just got another e-mail from Autel and this one doesn't appear to be canned:

Autel?

With the Powereye coming in at nearly $4k it looks like I'm going with the Mavic:

True that, & NOT Autel, but it does seem like THE DRONE to watch after release.

Very innovative and seemingly very capable platform. FPV camera independent of gimble, Obstacle Avoidance, Adjustable Counter-balance, Interchangeable lenses, Focus control, Ir attachment with in flight switching from 4K to 640x480 IR, Light Weight Aluminum construction, Dual Battery system providing 18,000mah for flight, but still 9,000mah individual batteries small enough batteries to be allowed on commercial Air-travel flights, Folding Design.

Really great stuff! Can I afford it--Not a chance. But I can dream, can't I?

Not that they did the innovation, maybe Autel can incorporate these feature in future for more affordable & capable systems for the rest of us!

The PowerEgg is more comparable to the Mavic, though I think I'd go with the Mavic too. It woudl be hard to be a drone manufacturer. A newer, better one can pop up at any time!

 

[Michael]

Maybe it is me but that does not appeal what so ever to me. I too think the Mavic to be a platform I would pursue over this. But to each their own which is the variety of life I say.
