Australian man’s selfie-drone is already sold out

29 June 2016

27-year old Australian, Simon Kantor has invented the the world’s first selfie-snapping drone, reports news.com.au.

The ROAM-e is a water-bottled sized flying device that is “programmed to recognise users’ faces and automatically follow them around to capture video or photos, staying one to three metres away.”

The device is reportedly selling extremely well in both Australia and American chain-stores, with 250,000 devices expected to sell before Christmas.

“We were talking about trending products and selfie sticks and we were we like ‘how can we make the selfie stick better?’,” Kantor said.

“As an offhand remark, I said we could make it fly. A few hours later I had a concept. Twelve months later we have an actual ROAM-e.”
