I hope you got good aim because Birdie is about to take your selfies from point-and-shoot to toss-and-see-WTF-happens. Snap your GoPro HERO 3+, 4, or 5 inside its arcing white cage and launch the Birdie into the air to capture photos from unique perspectives, and I guess videos sure to make everyone go cross-eyed and vomit.
GoPros will be on their own for waterproofing tech and protective housing, but once you feel your camera is safe, feel free to treat Birdie like the sporting good it was modeled after. Chuck it high, far, and even into the water, where it will float until you grab it back.
The Birdie package disassembles into a collapsible parachute and camera base ,and packs into an included carry sack for travel. If you can't afford to get your favorite dude a new GoPro HERO5 Black this Christmas, maybe go for the appreciably cheaper Birdie accessory, and hope someone richer in your family pulls through with the camera.

AirDog Auto-Follow Drone for GoPro
Looks like tech that autonomously follows its owner around could be the next trend in Stuff You Can't Believe Is Real. Well, maybe not entirely autonomously. Like the HEXO+ and Double the roaming robotic iPad

Nixie Flying Wearable Camera
The Nixie may be a ways from reality--and your wrist--but its live demo debut at CES 2016 proves it's a lot more than a few mockup drawings and some dude's dream (or, in this case, a dude and a dudette). The wearable...
