Before anyone tries to compare it unrealistically to anything. This is a in a niche to its own, you may compare it to the CopterPack, thats it. And its all thats needed because this is an extremely viable product, very simply, very safe you have 8 motors. I imagine they have an FC just for stabilization, they say no accelerometers, gyro ? Regardless it works , it works well and its KISS at its best.

And before the range anxiety crowd comes crashing down, this is not about visiting grandma on the other side of the country. it's about having FUN ! If they can at some stage get 1 - 5 km range that would be awesome, but for now i'd be ok with 500 meters range.

Order link ??

The race is ON !
Which will commercialize their product first ?

OMNI hoverboard or CopterPack

Either way my order is IN for both ! (depending on price)

Definitely only for the extreme sports crowd, looks fun but I'll stick to watching the helmet cam footage of those braver/more foolish than me

Works in the prefect death zone of altitude! But that applies of course to most of these type of devices

Best (only) used over warm water. Warm as its more pleasant with the frequent dips

I'll wait until they take "all the fun" out of it. Add some gyros and accelerometers; add a (redundant) computer controller... when I literally cannot fall off, THEN it's the type of fun I want.

Nothing foolish about this approach, 8 motors nuff said redundancy for dayzzz.
I'm with the top 2, where's the order button already ???

My money; take it.

What frequent dips ? LOL....This platform is absolutely solid, man there's a lot of anxious doomsday preachers out there. 8 motors is redundant aplenty, i'm sure a gyro and accelerometered platform wil be an option easy as pie to implement, but if its not needed, its not NEEDED. The proof is in the pudding, and the pudding tastes wonderful, just look at how stable it flies with 8 motors already for safety.

As to the write up itself, the inventor need to stress that much, motorbikes aren't controlled by manufacturers, yet here they are screaming with blazing fire down the road. It's up to the individual to stay safe, however that must be made clear to them and they must pass some sort of proficiency test like getting a vehicle license.

Probably not good if the batteries run out or the motors fail whilst up at 20 m.

Oh, great. Another device to let the adrenalin addicts make horrible noise in the nature when most people go there to relax and enjoy the silence.
