But these devices are all single view, all they can do is capture footage of what you point the lens at. Boring.

The new craze for radio controlled helicopters is lots of fun, but unfortunately the truth is they can be a little hard to fly. Anyone who’s eagerly unpacked their new flying machine only to spend time sweeping up the pieces 20 minutes later will know what we mean. If only they were easier to fly and those darn walls didn’t keep getting in the way.

It’s such a simple and yet clever idea we wonder why no-one else has come up with it. Where is the best place to put a solar panel to charge your gadgets? Why on top of your head of course, because it’s usually facing in the right direction skywards (unless you’re an acrobat of course).
