lifehacker Lifehacker Lifehacker Lifehacker Pursued Real Movement.Ultra -lightweight bird -shaped radio control "Meta Bird" that looks exactly like a biological imitation technology

Don't despise the radio control.

The evolution speed of robot technology is tremendous, and recently Boston Dynamics Robo has shown a backing roll and has become a hot topic, but it seems that you can feel such a scale in the toy world.

The bird-shaped radio control "METABIRD" during a campaign on the sister site MACHI-YA seems to have realized the movement of the birds themselves, such as bio-like (biological imitation technology).

It's the reproducibility of a real bird coming, so check it out before the campaign ends!

The movement is the bird itself

Here is the scene that actually skips "Metabird".As long as you only see the video, it looks like you are playing pet birds.

The secret of the real feeling is based on the technology called biommetics (biological imitation technology), and it is said that the movement is faithfully reproduced by giving it irregularity.

In order to realize flying like a bird, the weight is reduced.

In addition to carbon fiber, which is known for its light and highly durable, it uses materials that are not usually heard, such as LCD polymers and two -axis extension polypropylene..It seems that it realizes the ultra -light amount of 5G.

Since the propeller is not used, it may be a safe point that there is little worry about injuries even if you contact people.

Easy to control with a smartphone

It seems that the operation of "Metabird" can be easily done with a smartphone on hand.

It is necessary to download a dedicated app, but it seems that both iPhone and Android can be used.

In the app, the joystic mode that operates the left and right and thrust like the conventional radio control,

It seems that you can play in two ways: intuitive pilot mode (motion control) that reflects the inclination of the smartphone.

I don't know which one is easier to fly unless I use it, but I feel comfortable when the intuitive pilot mode can fly with it.

However, practice and tuning are required

There was also a description on the campaign page, but apparently it may not be possible to fly well at first.

Because of the light weight of 10g, it is likely to be affected by the wind.

In addition to piloting practice, it is necessary for good flights in addition to piloting practice, so it seems fun to try and error in various ways.

The weight is about 10g and is not covered by drone regulations, and it seems that there is a lot of play.

However, even if you are not restricted, you should stop airports, public transportation, public roads, etc., as it may cause trouble and accidents.Strictly adhere to rules such as ordinances, and don't forget to consider your surroundings and attention!
