As soon as I first saw a quad-rotor I knew this should happen.

My original thought was not for “selfies”, but for family photos with no one sitting out.

Or better yet, an always capturing child watcher to capture the best moments.

The MeCam from Always Innovating

The MeCam isn’t on the market yet, but hopefully it’s coming soon.

The MeCam is a small quad-helicopter which has a video camera and will connect to a smartphone.

The MeCam can also follow you around automatically and accept voice-commands.

At first announcement the price should only be $49 USD. We’ll see…

When Will it Be Available

Unfortunately, the MeCam will only be manufactured if someone steps up to make it.

Always Innovating is a group of developers and creators. They do not have any manufacturing capacity.

  • Capture pictures and video of your child without being glued to a camera or phone.
