SkyProwler is a vertical take-off and landing
(VTOL) UAV/drone using the same " Switchblade Transformation " mechanism
as SkyCruiser. It was recently on Kickstarter. It is now available for
pre-order, please sign up for a pre-order coupon code.

Eye Cam ProX upgrade
|
allows for rapid lens and filter
exchange allowing for in-field reconfiguration of the Eye Cam Pro (4K) for
wide angle or zoomed (~ 2x zoomed) field of view with either a daylight
filter or an NIR filter; more filters available upon request; advantage of separate
filter and lens are vastly reduced costs because filters are cheaper than
lenses
