A new drone design

[Motopreserve]

Always intetested in a new take on drone design. This was is still in the design phase, but if he pulls it off, it will certainly be a different approach than the ones I've seen....

Looks like a kid's college project to me...

I like the look of it and the idea that it transforms.

And obviously if you're going for jittery footage, its the perfect choice

Seriously though, it's the high school kid that sees this thing and begins design on something that could really be different. That's what I look forward to.

"propellers smartly work together to keep the Tesla drone steady mid-flight, which eliminates the need for a gimbal." Oh no **** why didn't I think of that!
Looks cool but the person who designed it doesn't seem to be a engineer more of a conceptual artist and industrial designer. I think the idea of recharging doc station is a good one and will certainly be used in future designs.

I'll wait for the perpetual power supply.

Putting the camera directly in the propwash looks like a good idea.... Not... lol

Everyone knows that a constant state of prop wash acts just like a brushless gimbal
