AEE Aviation Technology Inc. and SELFLY Camera LLC have introduced AEE SELFLY, which is a smartphone case with an embedded UAS.

Considered the first device of its kind and the first of its class, AEE SELFLY gives smartphone users the ability to capture photos of themselves­­—commonly known as “selfies”—at a whole new level of quality and precision, for basically any event, from any location, and from heights and distances that were once considered impossible.

“More photographs are being taken now on smartphones than ever before because the best camera is the one you can always have with you,” says Mike Kahn, AEE's Chief Marketing Officer.

“As a case to your smartphone, AEE SELFLY will always be with you to capture amazing selfies.”

AEE SELFLY uses high-end stabilization technology, which allows it to snap onto most standard size 4-6-inch smartphones. Using its UAS wings, AEE SELFLY can fly itself at the user's command, and deliver distant, tight angle or higher altitude photo selfies or videos.

As the AEE SELFLY hovers in the air, it waits for commands from a free, easy-to-use, intuitive smartphone app to capture the perfect shot from above. Compatible with both Apple iOS and Android devices, AEE SELFLY has a flight time of four minutes with an approximate recharge time of 30 minutes, and is equipped with 1080P, full high-definition video capability.

During CES 2018 in Las Vegas this week, AEE will exhibit AEE SELFLY. AEE SELFLY is expected to ship during the first calendar quarter of 2018.
