Drones have come a long way in the past few years, but now that manufacturers have managed to stuff them with all the bells and whistles we could ever want, the race is on to shrink them down and make them more portable. Why? Well, what good is having an autonomous flying camera if you can’t take it everywhere you go? As drone makers have started to realize how important portability is, there’s now a flood of super-compact unmanned aerial vehicles hitting the market. So, to dip our toes in this burgeoning category of ultraportable drones, we got our hands on Yuneec’s new Breeze drone to see how it compares to the rest of the pack.
Features & specs
As you might’ve guessed from the name, the Breeze is the smaller, lighter brother of Yuneec’s more heavy-duty Typhoon drones. But don’t let its diminutive stature fool you — this little drone has a lot going on under the hood. Despite being a bit less powerful, the Breeze has a lot of the same features you’ll find on it’s bigger, more expensive brethren.
Arguably the most important feature is the drone’s camera. Breeze can shoot in 4K at 30 frames per second, take 13 megapixel still shots, and even beam live video back to your smartphone in the process, allowing you to see what the drone sees in real time. On top of that, Breeze is also equipped with a decent suite of autonomous filming modes, including Orbit, Follow Me, and Selfie — features that used to be found exclusively on drones that cost $1,000 or more.
