Let me take a selfie problems? Smartphone camera angle not enough to capture your groupie? No need to worry now. As the Chinese company, ZeroTech launched its portable small drone perfect for people who doesn’t want to control drones like those of DJI’s Phantom 4 Pro.

What’s more is that you wouldn’t need a remote to control it. The Dobby drone is accessible through an app downloadable for your smartphone. The Verge reported that after that all you need now is to activate it via your smartphone.

The Dobby drone is quite portable in a sense that you could just fold its blades and stick it in your bag. Also, once activated it you would just need to toss it lightly and it would hover away from your hand. Thus, you are now ready to capture your desired angle.

More so, it was also mentioned that it has no problem with video recording since it has face detection which enabled it to just follow you around. The Dobby drone has a 13-megapixel camera which produces full HD 1080p video resolution. It could also capture 4K resolution images in its burst mode.

It was also identified the Dobby drone lessens worries as the drone only weighs less than half a pound. Another effective quirk of the Dobby drone is that you wouldn’t need to worry about its landing. Dobby has a feature that enables it to sense your hand if you place it inches under its sensor, it would then just automatically land on your hand.

Nonetheless, the cons of the Dobby drone is it's produced video quality that was not sharp enough but is well appropriate for its price as pointed out by Mashable. Its battery life is also short in a full 5 minute flight time but 9 minutes for the test review on the video below. But, you could always bring an extra battery just for a selfie on the go kind of moment.

This mini Dobby drone could now be purchased at $399 on BestBuy, or Staples, or online at Amazon, Adorama, and B&H Photo. You could view a complete review on the video below.
