It's getting cold, and it might be nice to fly at home!
"METAFLY", which is in a campaign on the sister site Machi-ya, is a bird-shaped robot drone that can be experienced for a little 10,000 yen.Including the movement of the wings, the state of the flight is real itself, and anything is due to biomimmetics (biological imitation technology).
This campaign is near the end of the campaign, but the enhancement of the house time is a continuous issue, so let's check it again at the end!
The movement like the real thing is just amazing
First, please take a look at this.It's a movement that doesn't seem like a radio control just by looking at it for a moment.
"Metafly" uses a technology called biomimetics (biological imitation technology), and faithfully reproduces the biology with a certain irregular movement.
In order to realize flying like a bird, it is thrown away, including lighter.
It is a design that comes out in science fiction movies, with a bare androidy content, and a little scary.It may be better to handle gently so that you do not get uprising at once (laughs).
Can be enjoyed indoors
Although it is lightweight and small, it has a specification that is hard to break even if it falls, so it can be enjoyed with a small space.
It is a nice point that you can enjoy it indoors because of its reasonable size.It seems that you can enjoy it with your children even when you can not go without going out due to the new colona!
Practice and tuning are required
It seems that some practice is necessary because we are pursuing realism.
In addition, there are many parts that change in tuning, such as changing the angle of the wings for beautiful flights and speed adjustment, so it seems fun to find the optimal setting according to the location and situation.
Since the product weight is about 10g, so -called drone regulations are not eligible.It seems that there is a lot of play, but even if you are not restricted, you should stop airports and public transportation, public roads, etc., as it may cause trouble or accident.
Please do not forget to consider the people around you, such as a large park, a garden at home, and a campsite!
Metafly, a bird-shaped drone that can enjoy a real-like movement, is currently conducting campaigns on the crowdfunding site Machi-YA.At the time of writing, a limited quantity early rate could be ordered from 13,200 yen (including tax and shipping) of 20%OFF.
It is only 7 days to the end of the campaign, so if you are interested, please check the link below!
