There are myriad small toy drones in the market, but they’re not necessarily the quality of the palm-sized Micro Drone 3.0. It offers HD video streaming to your phone, although delivering that depends on Wi-Fi signal quality. But it does have a 720 x 1280 pixel HD camera that shoots video at 30 frames per second. It claims a range of 15m tethered to a smartphone or 90m to a 2.4GHz radio, and motion sensors to aid level flying. It weighs 71g. You can fly it using Google cardboard for a first-person experience, but to do so outdoors is against civil aviation regulations. Micro Drone 3.0 is a successfully funded Indiegogo project. Cost: $US150 plus postage.
