The Flying Stick Camera: Just a concept, any buyers?
By Andrew | January 26, 2008
When I first saw me this camera, all I could think was of the good old school days when we flied those helicopter like things made with fan attached to sticks…it was indeed fun!
But that simple toy is no simpler today, as our gadget gurus have transformed it into a funky-techie camera that will click pics at the moment you fly it after rolling out of your plams.
Designed by Tsunho Wang, the stick camera needs to rubbed between your palms to store in some kinetic energy and release it so that it automatically take pictures at set intervals.
Till now there’s no inf about he features and pixels of a the camera since it’s still a concept, that’s awaiting a sponsorship to get materialized into a swingy camera!

Overshadowing the doubts of ASUS coming out with the cheapest UMPC ever, the company has lately unveiled its new W5Fe series of notebooks in India.
