Meet Micro Drone 3.0, the smallest drone to support live streaming and VR

If you’re looking to get into the wonderful world of drones without having to spend a month’s worth of groceries buying one, then you should seriously consider checking out the newly launched Indiegogo campaign from Micro Drone.

If the name doesn’t ring a bell, they’re the makers of the popular Micro Drone 2.0, a perfect introductory drone for beginners. I know, I owned one. That’s how I got my start.

Now with a whole new Micro Drone 3.0, which boasts new hardware and capabilities, you can get your start too for an early bird price of $125, which is a huge value when you consider all the features this bad boy can handle.

First off, here’s a quick breakdown of some of its features:

Not bad for $125, right? But wait, there’s more. Micro Drone 3.0 features a user-controlled gimbal that lets operators command the angle of the camera fixed underneath the drone. This is a first of its kind in a drone this size, which is amazing for the user.

Another first I haven’t seen out there that Micro Drone 3.0 is introducing is the ability to live stream to apps such as Periscope and Meerkat. If that doesn’t get you excited, then maybe their integration with Google Cardboard VR will. I know a lot of the bigger drone manufacturers that don’t even offer this.
