Kimon Aims to Be First Successful Selfie Drone

June 7, 2016 by Frank Schroth 3 Comments

Selfie drones have been hovering on the horizon for some time now. The Kimon from Keyshare Technologies may be the first to deliver on the promise. The concept is to create a selfie drone that can relieve consumers of standard selfie limitations (e..g. Length of your arm or selfie stick) while delivering quality photos at an affordable price. A number of attempts have been made. The Zano drone never made lift off and its company liquidated. The Lily drone, which received quite a bit of press attention when it was announced, has experienced delays and is not expected to ship sometime in the summer of 2016. Two selfie / follow me drones on the market are the Airdog and the Hexo+. However they are relatively high priced and do not come equipped with a camera. The Kimon can fly, has a camera, and is being manufactured now.  Final pricing is not yet been released.

The Kimon was designed to be easy to use, portable, have a replaceable battery, and be capable of taking quality photos with a high-definition camera. All its features are tailored to provide a great selfie taking experience.

It’s unique folding design makes it easily portable.

KIMON Features include:

  • 16 million pixels and support for 4k/25fps video recording
  • Simple, smartphone-controlled operation with one-touch start-up, take-off, hovering, landing, and return

  • G-sensor-controlled by moving your mobile phone;
  • Multiple shooting modes that include photography, video recording, burst mode, slow motion, time-lapse photography
  • Five selfie-taking modes: 360-degree panorama, 45-degree shot, follow shot, panoramic selfie and standard selfie

  • An indoor positioning module enables easy selfie-taking under 3-meter high — hovering in an indoor environment without GPS signals.

The KIMON is practical, affordable and functional.

The Kimon is intended for taking great selfies. All its features are designed to deliver on that promise with an emphasis on a superb user experience rather than on cutting-edge, gaudy technologies.

It is the ideal selfie-taking tool with a user-friendly price. Here is a video about the product.
