The ProDrone Byrd Is a Portable, Modular UAV that Folds Down to the Size of an iPad1 min read
Reading Time: < 1 minuteThe market for prosumer drones is exploding, and manufacturers are seeking new and novel ways to differentiate themselves from the pack. With Byrd, the new flagship UAV from ProDrone, the company is banking on portability, modularity, and flight time to set itself apart.
The most marketable aspect of the Byrd is its unique folding design, which allows for the drone to be folded down into a package that can be easily transported in a backpack. It also features an interchangeable gimbal mount, which means that the Byrd can be used with several different camera and gimbal configurations. Like most drone companies these days, ProDrone has its own app with a number of safety and ease-of-use features
At present, the Byrd comes in three distinct models. The Standard model comes with a built-in 1080p camera and only has 500m of transmission distance. It’s also limited in a few other ways. The Advanced model comes with a GoPro mount, and features longer transmission and all of the advanced flying features. Lastly, the Premium model comes with ProDrone’s own 4K camera, and all of the same features as the Premium model. Respectively, those will be retailing for $950, $1050, and $1400.
