PlexiDrone - Ultra-Portable Camera Robot that You can Swarm

Published on Oct 1, 2014


Introduces the PlexiDrone, an ultra-portable camera robot small enough to fit in a lunch box, but power enough to take up your favorite camera. Completely unobstructed 360 degree field of view, and you can swarm them together to capture life from every angle.

Features (GPS Follow Me, Voice Notifications, & More)

Easily Control PlexiDrone with PlexiGCS
Flying and filming has never been easier. Just point to where you want to fly and begin capturing amazing aerial film. We've removed the need for a bulky and complicated remote controller and simplified the controls so that anyone can film from the sky!

Retractable Arms
PlexiDrone's arms are easily retractable and can be safely stored in our weather-resistant backpack to help you arrive at whatever type of destination ready to go.

Obstacle Avoidance
Ultrasonic sensing lets PlexiDrone detect obstacles in its path. This added safety feature lets you decide if PlexiDrone should stop completely or find another path if its confronted by an obstacle. Sensing distance up to 32 ft. (10 m) away.

PlexiDrone includes an additional bottom facing ultrasonic sensor. This is used for altitude hold and to automatically extend the gear to protect your camera when you are too close to the ground! In addition, we have added one front-facing and one bottom facing optical flow sensor to increase stability for indoor flight, even when GPS is not available!


GPS Follow Me
GPS Follow Me is a feature on the PlexiGCS app that allows for PlexiDrone to automatically focus on a point of interest and even follow a moving object. Enable this feature by tapping “FollowMe” on your PlexiGCS app and have your target running the PlexiGCS app too. The app is supported by iOS, Android, and Windows smartphone.

Swarm Technology and Multiple Vantage Points
Swarm Technology enables a single user to easily control and co-ordinate multiple PlexiDrones with a smart-phone or tablet. In one scene multiple vantage points will be captured at once. Our landing gear automatically retracts out of camera view upon lift off so you’ll never have to crop it out of your footage either!

Voice Notifications
PlexiDrone speaks! PlexiDrone tells you exactly what's going on in its own customizable voice. No more wondering what blinking LED lights are trying to tell you or memorizing product manuals. If you have GPS lock, PlexiDrone will tell you. If you need a fresh battery, it’ll tell you that too! Program your own voice alerts and select your custom voice!

Cameras and Swappable Payload Modules
Snap on any payload in seconds. PlexiDrone’s payload system is intended to carry any camera (or any payload you can imagine) up to 1000 grams in weight. This means you can carry standard point-and-shoot cameras, GoPros, Sony Action Cam, Sony RX100, Sony A500, Sony A5100, Lumix GM5, and more.
