Holiday Gift Guide Yuneec Breeze 4K
Looking for a easy to use, versatile and compact drone this holiday season? Look no further than Yuneec Breeze 4K. Out of the box you are ready to go. Its mobile app — available for iOS and Android — is easy to navigate and use. Automated flight modes have in-app, step-by-step directions. Replacement parts are available for repairs should you crash it.
Yuneec Breeze 4K is perfect for people who want a camera drone for aerial photos and video, but have almost no interest in actually piloting a drone.
With little more than some taps on your phone’s screen, you can put the Breeze in the air and have it perform a handful of automated camera moves to grab photos and video clips of you and your friends and family. Then you just download them to your phone, edit and share — all from within the drone’s app.
You can also fly it around manually with onscreen controls if you want to get specific aerial shots, but the range is limited to a maximum height of 80 meters (262.5 feet) and maximum distance of 100 meters (328.1 feet). Flight times tap out at 12 minutes, so you won’t want to fly it too far away from you anyway.
The mobile app, available for iOS and Android, is split into two sections: Tasks and Gallery. Tap on Tasks and you’re given five options to choose from: Pilot, Selfie, Orbit, Journey and Follow Me. Pilot has the manual controls for flying around the way any other drone would with a regular controller. However, the Breeze is designed to have the camera pointed at you and not away from you like other camera drones, so the controls are reversed. For $399 this is the perfect gift for the holiday season for people looking to capture dynamic pictures and video’s.
