The Xenon Drone is a modular handheld advancement of its drone counterparts. Drones photography and videography have seen a significant increase in popularity. In turn, industrial designers such as Kendal Toerner continue to innovate new technological and design advancements. Toerner's handheld and modular Xenon Drone adds portability to the drone industry.
Designed for the most rugged adventures, this device balances functionality and space by breaking its body down into three modular pieces. Made from recyclable, plant-based thermoplastic, the Xenon Drone features a magnetic launching pad between two drone modules. Its unique design allows the user to configure the drone's assembly into three possible forms for flying by stacking the pieces via a magnetic connector. In addition, a magnetic wand ensures a safe landing upon the drone's return.
