Falcon Mini: V-shaped drone debuts at $199 for early backers

ZeroZero Robotics, the company behind the sleek and innovative HOVERAir self-flying drone range, has unveiled its latest marvel: the Falcon Mini. And trust us, this one is worth getting excited about.

A complete reinvention of the original $999 V-Copter Falcon, the Falcon Mini brings the same cutting-edge V-shaped bi-copter design to a more attainable price point of $399. Even better, early backers on Indiegogo can score exclusive discounts before this game-changing drone lands in the mainstream market.

Why the Falcon Mini drone stands out

In a sea of quadcopters, the Falcon Mini dares to be different. Instead of the traditional four-rotor setup, it uses just two large, tilting rotors — an engineering feat that enhances efficiency, stability, and agility. This radical design isn’t just about looks; it significantly reduces power consumption, giving the Falcon Mini an industry-leading 34-minute flight time. That’s longer than most drones in this category, making it a must-have for anyone serious about capturing the perfect aerial shot.

And here’s the kicker: it weighs under 250 grams. That means no FAA registration is required for recreational drone pilots in the US, allowing you to take off and fly hassle-free. It’s ultra-portable, whisper-quiet, and fits into your pocket or small bag. Whether you’re traveling, vlogging, or just having fun, the Falcon Mini is the ultimate companion.

Despite its compact size, the Falcon Mini is packed with powerhouse specs:

  • 4K camera with 3-axis gimbal: Say goodbye to shaky footage! The Falcon Mini’s stabilized 4K camera ensures cinematic-quality video, even in windy conditions.
  • Reverse Flight Kit: Ever wanted to fly a drone backward with the same precision as forward? Now you can, unlocking never-before-seen aerial maneuvers.
  • Vertical shooting for social media: Perfect for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts, capturing eye-catching vertical footage has never been easier.
  • Night Mode for low-light clarity: Shoot stunning videos even after sunset with optimized night capture settings.
  • 6x Zoom: Get up close to the action without sacrificing image quality, ideal for capturing distant subjects with incredible detail.
  • Ultra-quiet rotors: Unlike noisy quadcopters, this bi-copter design keeps things discreet, making it ideal for capturing footage in quiet, scenic locations.

Zero Zero Robotics specializes in aerial imaging. The Falcon Mini is their third crowdfunded product, following the successful launches of the HOVERAir X1 and HOVERAir X1 PRO and PROMAX, which raised over $1 million and $4 million, respectively, through previous crowdfunding campaigns.

Now, early backers are rushing in to grab the Falcon Mini for just $199 — a massive steal for a drone of this caliber. Once the early-bird slots fill up, the price jumps to $249, which is still a bargain for a drone of this caliber.

For drone enthusiasts and tech lovers, this is a rare chance to own a one-of-a-kind, ultra-portable drone before it officially launches. Want in? Head over to the Indiegogo campaign and secure the best deal before it’s gone.
