Where is PowerEggPilots.com?

IShouldBeWorking · Apr 18, 2019

So I was doing my usual morning browse around the deal sites and saw this one on B&H Photo:

Power VisionPowerEgg Drone

Right now you can save over $700 on a PowerEgg drone! I guess I shouldn't mock, but I kind of can't help it. It looks completely ridiculous. Has anyone tried one of these? I guess it didn't really "take off" enough to warrant a site of its own.

I thought they went out of business.. I was interested at first but then when I saw what was delieveried. Pass

I've been looking at the PowerEye. It is an inspire competitor...for 1200.

Did you see some of the video. I was shocked to see blades in there with the camera so low.

IShouldBeWorking · Apr 18, 2019

PowerEye certainly has a better form factor than the PowerEgg! It must have been pitched forward a whole bunch to show the blades like that. The camera hangs way low underneath the body. Makes me wonder how fast it was going.

By the way, I found some footage of a PowerEgg in flight, for those interested. It doesn't look terribly stable.

I'd love to see how it handles in the wind.

Anybody got $300 to blow on one just for fun?

DebianDog · Apr 18, 2019

Yeah I heard people trying to fly in the wind were not happy. Putting the camera at the end of a pendulum is not a practical design. But it is artistically pleasing.

In some of the videos I've seen of the PowerEye it looks like the camera can tilt up well above level. Perhaps this is how props got in the shot? With the weight of this bird I can't imagine it pitching as much as would be needed with a level camera. The one reason I won't pull the trigger for now is I can find so little about the drone (or company) except for short promo videos from the company itself and from one particular reviewer. It also is two years old at this point. Love the sensor size, but it seems to be lacking in both bandwidth and FPS options.

Besides do I really need ANOTHER drone from yet ANOTHER company? I've actually thought about liquidating some of the ones I have, but I know as soon as I sell one I'll regret it and end up rebuying it.

It looks very wobbly in the air. Don't suppose it would take would take too much to crash it and turn it into a PowerOmelette.

I didn't realise this was actually a real product instead I thought it was just for one of those dodgy clickbait links that litter so many sites these days,

Cyber3xpert · Dec 16, 2019

Anyone think there will be a forum for these guys? I mean, any drone pilot should be able to learn from a forum made for the kind of drone he/she owns, right? Also, where's the HolyStonePilots forum? Holy Stone might be cheaper than DJI or Autel, but a lot of people have them for just that reason. I've found this forum much more informative than the official DJI forums(forum.dji.com). All I'm saying is, there should be at least two more forums on the DronePilots group. HolyStonePilots, and PowerEggPilots.

DDS · Dec 16, 2019

Don't think there's enough marketshare for an EggForum as Powervision is now in the submarine buisness It does however shoot 4k video and it flies (a tad annoying setup connecting the base station and wires but once set it does what its supposed to do). Also after sales support is amazing! they basically just replace after a crash (US Based Support)

They were selling well until the Mavic Mini Launch (basically killed it) i do have stock @ $300 if you want for the forum. Definitely an eye catcher and also can be used as a centerpiece on your dining room table as well

I agree. I guess there wouldn't be much reason to put a now-submarine company for a drone forum. What about Holy Stone? They have camera drones, but they're kind of cheap; not very great quality. Still, that's a pretty popular brand.

Also, I concur with the eye-catcher idea! A friend of mine has a PowerEgg, and it looks great sitting in its stand!

FRESH INSIDER NEWS

January by CES they are announcing a PowerEgg X a gen 2 egg

can wait to see what this thing will look like

maybe there is room for an egg forum?

Cyber3xpert · Dec 17, 2019

That might be ok... I hope the camera is a little lower - it looked like it was too high in the cavity like the egg wasn't long enough...

DDS · Jan 7, 2020

just announced @Ces nice egg upgrade

PowerEgg X drone doubles as an AI-powered tracking camera

After catching our eye with the peculiarly shaped PowerEgg drone in 2016, PowerVision has returned to drop another nicely rounded aircraft into the mix. While aerial captures are part of the brief for the PowerEgg X, the company is also keen to emphasize its capabilities as a portable AI-powered…

You can find other drones here and Clackey might add the
Egg in there I can’t say. HolyStones is there though.

@clackey
Can u please add the egg here instead of a different forum?
We still have the original one in stock and can run an exclusive forum egg price on the new release (already running the original for a forum only price)
Thanks

Well, thank you. It's so different than the Mavics to fly (admittedly a bit more challenging but that's the fun). And between the looks you get flying it and just having it sit out at home...well worth it!

clackey · Jan 8, 2020

Ya, not sure there are enough power egg pilots to justify its own forum yet. I might launch it on dronepilots.community if we see some traction.

That said, you are welcome to run a post with a discount in the general section of this site if you'd like.
