Water drone Ziphius who hides a Raspberry Pi computer inside of his housing, last year came out as a winner in quite a few innovators competitions, and now has become a concrete project that will be released to the market after they collected enough money on Kickstarter. They are seeking $ 125,000 so they could bring it to the market .

Meanwhile, the drone was revised, got some cosmetic repairs and improved navigability and battery system and management that is performed using an application on your smartphone or tablet. Among other Ziphius has improved WiFi, so it will be able to operate at distances up to 91 meters, while achiveing maximum speed of 10 km/h. Drone is made with a specially balanced center of gravity that in case of rolling over always turns the boat on the right side so it can continue the journey.


Drone has an HD camera that can take pictures and record video at a resolution of 720p, and the battery should withstand up to 1 hour in fully operational mode. In addition to driving and shooting, Ziphius can be used to play AR (augmented reality) games, and works with applications for iOS and Android smartphones and tablets. All that on Kickstarter donate at least $195 will receive a yellow prototype of this interesting water drone, and that should be the price on the market once it's released.
