This $50 Mini Quadrotor Drone Camera Will Follow You Around and Help You Take Better ‘Selfies’
GoPro-style headcams are all the rage right now to document everything from extreme sporting adventures to events like Republican National Convention (as TheBlaze’s Mike Opelka showed us last year). But these body-mounted cameras only show your perspective, what about if you wanted to be in the picture itself?
Always Innovating created the aptly named “MeCam,” which is described as a self-video nano copter that people can use to to essentially take better quality selfies (those photos people take of themselves where half their outstretched arm is in the picture as well). The videos from MeCam can then be uploaded and shared on various social platforms like YouTube and Facebook.

“Today people capture and share their photos and videos using archaic methods and with mixed results,” Always Innovating’s website states. “The MeCam launches from the palm of a hand and hovers instantly. The MeCam streams video to an Android or iOS phone or tablet. Videos can then be easily shared on social media platforms. The MeCam doesn’t need any remote control: the user can control the device with voice commands or uses the follow-me feature.”

See how it works:
SlashGear reported that the MeCam will only set you back $49.

Posted on January 26, 2013 at 1:45pmWhat’s really ridiculous is all the people who are complaining about big Brother snooping on us citizens, And now they themselves can’t wait to go out and by one of these devices to do some snooping of their own. Get A Grip !!

Posted on January 26, 2013 at 9:33amBack in the 50′s, I remember a Batman/Detective Comics issue that had a floating eyeball-shaped device. Batman used it to spy on criminals. Once again, science fiction has become reality.
Changing horses in midstream, the porn industry is going to jump all over this idea…

Posted on January 26, 2013 at 5:14pmWhat worries me is how pedophiles and voyeurs can abuse these to spy. If I see one any where near a playground i will watch it and find out who’s running it and kick the **** out of them if they are not one of the kids parents. I know assault is illegal but they got to prove it was me. Our town (Aberdeen WA) has become a dumping ground for pedo’s because the paper refuses to publish sex offender notifications because they are afraid the sick perverts might get hurt and the prison here just dumps them off at the bus station when they are released so they can walk a block away to burger king to ogle the children. (I’ve had family who works at the prison point them out to me this town is over run with them.)

Posted on January 26, 2013 at 8:47amHave you ever read Fahrenhiet 451? The drones follow Montag giving TV viewers a “live manhunt” as they hunt down the “criminal”.

Posted on January 26, 2013 at 7:31amThat is all we need, one more invasion of our privacy. so do these boneheads need to secure our permission if they film us and put it online? Is it legal to bring these in places of business?How close can these things get to me before they violate my personal space?What actions can I take if they do?

Posted on January 25, 2013 at 9:40pmCivilian drones? Very cool. I can see this being used for the wrong reasons, but on the other hand, this technology would be great for filming government abuse as well. Just think of how much more careful police and government officials have to be when at any time, citizens could be filming and uploading their words and deeds to the internet for all to see. The vermin in the government don’t have a problem putting their subjects under surveillance. Maybe these little drones will even the playing field somewhat.

Posted on January 25, 2013 at 8:45pmI’m extremely surprised that OSHA hasn’t required small cages around the blades to prevent injury to peoples faces and skin.
I’m waiting for the first lawsuit against a Quad-copter manufacture after some kid gets his face chewed up by one of these.

Posted on January 25, 2013 at 8:20pmWhere to put #44
Where, oh where — to put Obama’s picture.
George Washington, our nation’s first president and leader of the American Revolution! 1.00 Dolar bill
Abe Lincoln, honorable leader who pulled our nation through its darkest time! 5.00 bill
Alexander Hamilton, founding father, first Secretary of the Treasury and leader of the constitutional convention! 10.00 bill
Andrew Jackson, “Old Hickory ” fought the British in New Orleans ! 20.00 bill
Ulysses Grant, Union army general, led the North through the Civil War! 50.00 bill
Ben Franklin, genius inventor, political theorist and leading author of the Constitution. 100.00 bill
Finally, we have someone to put on the food stamp!!! bill
I was eating breakfast with my 13-year-old granddaughter and I asked her,
“What day is the 20th of February?”
She said “It’s President’s Day!”
She is a smart kid.
I asked “What does President’s Day mean?”
I was waiting for something about Washington or Lincoln… etc.
She replied, “President’s Day is when President Obama steps out of the White House,
if he sees his shadow we have one more year of unemployment.”
You know, it hurts when hot coffee spurts out your nose…

Posted on January 25, 2013 at 8:10pmThis is not going to end well for anyone. Common sense is a lost concept. Technology unleashed and unfettered. Most, yes most citizens are children at best. This is not going to end well, love you Ray, the Singularity is here, but its not as cheery as you predicted. You left out the human factor of greed and power in your presentation.
