Original and Affordable Way to Capture Aerial Action Videos

The Latest Trend in Action Video Shooting

The latest trend in video content involves capturing unique perspectives from above using action cameras. These videos are gaining millions of views and look incredibly captivating. What used to be an expensive endeavor, requiring a costly quadcopter for attaching the action camera, can now be more accessible. With the AER device, you can place the camera in a drone, creating stunning bird's-eye view footage at a much lower cost.

Project Overview

The concept behind this invention is remarkably simple. The AER consists of three parts, with the action camera inserted inside. The device is then thrown into the air, descending smoothly in a downward arc while capturing the surroundings. The design of the AER protects the camera from impact upon landing and is also waterproof. Currently, the device is compatible with the three most popular action camera models: GoPro Hero 3+, 4, and 5.

Similar devices with slight modifications have also been released by the company Birdie.

Advantages of AER Devices for Action Video Shooting

1) Portability. These devices can easily fit into a bag, making them convenient for long hikes and adventures.

2) Affordability. The cost of an AER device is significantly lower compared to a quadcopter, while maintaining high-quality footage. It's no wonder that the AER project managed to raise $123,000 on the crowdfunding platform Kickstarter within a short period. This amount surpassed the initial target of $70,000 by almost double.

Despite several undeniable advantages, the product does have one significant drawback. Developers discreetly avoid mentioning the possibility of the device getting stuck in trees or other tall objects after launch.
