Your Instagram game is about take off with this new gadget

Are you all fingers and thumbs when it comes to selfies?

Well prepare to take your campaign for Instagram stardom to the next level. Introducing AirSelfie; the first pocket-sized flying camera that integrates with smartphones.

It’s time to put the selfie stick in the bin. The AirSelfie is now available to pre-order following a successful Kickstarter campaign that drew backers from all over the world.

The personal drone allows users to capture the perfect photo from angles never before possible, using four powerful propellers and a five-megapixel video camera to fly vertically up to 66 feet.

There are two available packages: AirSelfie + phone cover (€259) or AirSelfie and powerbank (€269).

The device connects to the most popular smartphones, including iPhone (6, 6s, 7 and 7 Plus), Google Pixel and Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge and includes self-generated wifi.

It even comes equipped with a rechargeable battery, as well as the option to purchase an external power bank (ideal for festival season). A vibration-absorber system and in-flight stability systems guarantee stable, clear, flowing images.

While we can’t say we wouldn’t feel silly using this in public at first, we are vaguely hopeful it’ll catch on fast… imagine the Instagram possibilities.
