The art of taking selfies is taking to the skies with the autonomous drone Roam-e.

Unlike most quad-copter drones, the Roam-e is cylindrical in shape and flies using two rotors sitting atop each other and rotating in the opposite direction. It comes equipped with a 1080p camera and can stay afloat for up to 20 minutes. Charging it will take around two hours.

The selfie drone is linked to an app where four different flight modes are available namely selfie, scout, navigation and pilot, according to The Verge.

Shipping will begin in 12 weeks.  Alfred Bayle
