DIGITAL
CAMERA

Goods put up in a set for retail sale comprising :

- a "drone", i.e., a remote-controlled
fourrotor helicopter, also called “quadcopter”, with an integrated digital
camera (dimensions : 29 cm x 29 cm x 18 cm; weight : 1,160 grams), 

- a 5.8 GHz remote controller,

- a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi range extender and 

- a
"smartphone"mount.

 

The helicopter is controlled via levers on the
supplied remote control. The remote control comes equipped with a mount for a
"smartphone" so the operator can use the phone screen to view
"streaming" video images via Wi-Fi signal. The operator can take both
videos (1080p HD) and still images (14 MP). The operator uses a separate
program ("app") from the manufacturer to control the camera via the smartphone.
The range of the supplied Wi-Fi range extender is approximately 300 meters and
flying time is approximately 25 minutes before the battery must be recharged.
