PowerVision Announces New All-in-One PowerEgg X Drones

Just in time for CES 2020, drone innovator PowerVision has released its latest UAV, the PowerEgg X. It comes in two models, the Explorer and the Wizard. These latest flyers are a follow-up to the 2016 PowerEgg, and brings with them three years' worth of upgrades and enhancements, including a refined design and bolstered hardware. Both PowerEgg X models boast new functionality, which allows them to operate as three separate devices: a high-performance drone, an autonomous personal AI camera, and as a handheld 3-axis camera.

PowerVision PowerEgg X AI Camera and Drone

Starting with the drone mode, both PowerEgg X models feature several impressive upgrades, including a 1/2.8" CMOS sensor that can capture 4K60 video and 12MP stills, facial recognition with deep learning tech, and hand-gesture control. They also boast several features rarely seen in commercial drones: they can narrate footage in real time using PowerVision's new SyncVoice tech, and the Wizard can fly in the rain, thanks to its included waterproof housing.

The Wizard can even perform water takeoffs and landings with the included floats. When operated as a drone, the PowerEgg X Explorer and Wizard give users up to 30 minutes of flight time, even in strong winds, which puts them in competition for best battery performance on the market.
