    Is that a drone in your pocket, or are you just glad to see me?

    The folks at Odyssey Toys told me their new Pocket Drone won a TWICE award at CES as “Most innovative Drove at the show”. Considering the number of drones there, that is an honor to be proud of. Odyssey says their Pocket Drone is the world's first collapsing video drone that is lightweight and can easily fit into your pocket. With a footprint the size of an iPhone 6, this first generation version features collapsible blades that can be tucked neatly inside the unit for easy transport, along with a carry case and remote. Now to be honest the remote is also the footprint size of an iPhone 6 and about a 1” thickness. But each of the two units will fit in a pocket of its own. It will also ship with its own carry bag. With the built-in 720p HD camera, you can capture video and pictures and save them directly to the included 4GB Micro SD Card. As you'll see in the video, the Pocket Drone features next-generation gyro technology, ensuring operation both indoors and outdoors with incredible stability. There's also 2.4 Ghz WiFi technology, USB charging, and LED's for night flying. The Pocket Drone will retail for $129.95, but may be offered at some places for $99.99. Coming April/May 2016.
