What is Staaker Follow Me Drone?
Staaker´s main purpose is to be a fully autonomous drone for filming. Staaker uses a small tracker that you wear, which automatically tells the drone where you are, and what you are doing. So once you put on the tracker and turn the Staaker drone on, it will follow and record your every move, without any additional input from you. No need to carry bulky remote controllers around. No need to select objects to follow on the screen. No need to update your home point — just turn on Staaker and the tracker, and go.
Using artificial intelligence Staaker also knows what you are going to do next. Staaker will then decide the best angles to film you from, to give you the high quality cinematic footage you deserve. The Staaker self flying drone allows you to tell your stories the way they are meant to be told – with you at the center of attention.
