With the proliferation of the POV camera came a revolution in the way that we produce snowboarding media. No longer was it restricted to a small number of producers, but rather opened to the masses to share their experience on a snowboard. The pow days, the park laps, the backcountry missions. Now we are approaching the next step in camera technology.
3D Robotics creates one of the most sophisticated automated drones available to the consumer market, the IRIS+. Complete with tracking technology, substantial battery life and flight plan capabilities, this thing blew us away. Now we’re giving you the opportunity to own your own IRIS+ Personal Drone, all you need to do is share a photo where a drone would have made the shot that much more epic.

Ready to Fly
Inside the IRIS+ box is everything you need to fly. Simply attach the props, charge the battery, and you’re ready to fly manually with the included remote control or autonomously with a Mac, PC, Linux or Android device.
Flight Protection
The IRIS+ can land itself automatically, or return to a home point if it travels out of range or runs low on battery.
Follow Me
3DR’s 3PV™ (Third Person View) Follow Me technology turns your IRIS+ into a hands-free aerial camera crew that puts you in the middle of your adventure. The IRIS+ can easily follow and film you while carrying any GPS enabled Android device. This advanced technology simultaneously controls the gimbal to keep the camera centered on you, capturing sweeping cinematic video from a perspective unlike any other.
Auto Mission Planning
With free DroidPlanner 2 software, IRIS+ users can plan flights by simply drawing a flight path on any Android tablet or phone, which allows for hands-free flight control. Now your drone will go where you tell it to go, and it can even keep your GoPro pointed at the same location via a Region of Interest waypoint throughout the entire flight. This enables fun autonomous journeys, and automatically stabilized video capture that would be otherwise impossible.
GoPro Ready
The IRIS+ personal drone is optimized to capture amazing GoPro aerial images right out of the box. IRIS+ comes with an integrated GoPro camera mount with a vibration dampener for aerial photography and video. If you are looking for the highest quality and most control for your aerial GoPro video, IRIS+ also has a purchase option for a Tarot gimbal. This gimbal provides stabilized, controllable, high-quality video and photo for GoPro users who desire it, and it enables control of camera angle manually or automatically.
