Flee Digital Cam – aerial shots without risking your cameraphone!
Thursday, 10 Jul 2008
Via TechDigest comes this lovely bit of Bluetooth hardware – the Flee Digital camera. It’s a camera equipped with Bluetooth that you can throw into the air and take lovely aerial shots, which it sends back to your mobile via Bluetooth before returning to ground undamaged:
It reminds me of the great photos you can see on the Camera Toss blog or Flickr pool. While the camera might not match up to your cameraphone’s quality it saves risking the poor thing if you drop it. That said, if your phone’s tough enough to stand up to it then it might not be an issue – hang on, that gives me an idea…

I have read about a number of cameras that you can toss in the air to take aerial photos, but this cam is more practical in the sense that you use your own camera. Buying a purpose made aerial camera can be costly when the novelty wears off and users discover Google Earth.
