It is certainly not the first project with a new and even better drone that appears on Kickstarter and probably not the last either. Yet the CyPhy LVL 1 is a drone that is worth the effort to look better at it in depth.
Suitable for everyone
CyPhy LVL 1 drone claims to be the drone that is suitable for everyone. Thanks to the simple operation combined with the high quality recordings makes CyPhy LVL 1 suitable for everyone.
Hexacopter
In contrast to most competitive quadcopter models, the CyPhy LVL 1 is a hexacopter with 6 arms. Thanks to this additional 2 arms, the drone is extra stable resulting in even tighter shots.
Controls
The revolutionary Level-Up technique hovers CyPhy LVL 1 drone always stable in the air. One who want to play more acrobatic with the drone can simply disable the Level Up feature so that the drone can make loops and rolls.
You can control the CyPhy LVL 1 through the easy to use smartphone app. Thanks to the innovative Swipe-to-Fly function you have the drone literally with a swipe across the screen in the air.
Social media
CyPhy LVL 1 can upload images directly to social media networks like Facebook, SnapChat or Twitter. Even before the LVL 1 has landed, your friends already have access to your latest pictures!
Geo-fence
CyPhy LVL 1 is equipped with Geo-fence technology, which allows the user to define a space with invisible fences. This allows you to simply draw a region in which the CyPhy LVL 1 may fly and the drone will not move outside this area.
Battery
A fully charged battery CyPhy LVL 1 results in more than 20 minutes flying time.
Camera
The CyPhy LVL 1 has a camera that records video in 1080p HD quality. You can also take pictures with a resolution of 8 MP.
Crowdfunding
CyPhy Works, founded by iRobot’s co-founder Helen Greiner, started a crowdfunding campaign last week to realize the LVL 1. Through Kickstarter, CyPhy (pronounced ‘Sci-Fi) asks for an amount of $250,000 to start the production.
In the first days the counter was already nice and it seems that the CyPhy LVL 1 will soon become reality. Until June 18, 2015, you can reserve from $495 one of the first CyPhy LVL 1 drones by supporting the fundraising.
