PowerEgg X, the All-in-one Waterproof Drone, Webcam and Camcorder

PowerEgg X: drone, camcorder and webcam

There is no doubt that DJI is the current king in the drone sector and hence many other manufacturers have to try to attract attention with somewhat different proposals. This from PowerVision is one of them, although this time they have reasons to do so and it is not only the design section that attracts. This particular drone is much more than that, it is also a camcorder and even a webcam.

The drone

The first and really interesting use of this PowerEgg X is as a drone . With an egg-like design, this product created by PowerVision is designed to take to the skies and offer a series of advantages that other similar ones do not have.

The first and possibly most important for most use would be its water resistance. Yes, if you drop it in the middle of a lake you will not have to worry about its integrity, because nothing will happen to it. Another thing is that you can get it back, but what the water will not damage your electronics as it would happen to other proposals.

Along with that particularity that all those users who usually fly their current drones in complex climates and situations will appreciate. Still, you don’t have to stay just with that, it also has other important details.

For starters the legs or arms are also foldable like the latest DJI drones. This facilitates the transport of a product that is designed, among other things, so that you can take it wherever you go comfortably. And even a landing gear to do it on the water taking advantage of its resistance to it.

In addition to being foldable, the drone only weighs 862 grams and includes a camera with a 12 MP CMOS sensor and a size of 1 / 2.8 ″ that is capable of recording content at 4K and 60p resolution that can be stored in the 6GB of internal memory that offers if the duration of the clip is short or on a micro SD card that can reach a maximum of 128 GB.

Along with this, it includes an application that, as is common in many current camera proposals that help you capture your day-to-day life, is capable of quick editing from the mobile application to be able to quickly share the material on networks.

Of course, this use as a drone is not the only thing that this PowerVision proposal offers or allows.

The camcorder

Through a system that allows the arms to be uncoupled with the propellers from the drone body, this PowerEgg X can also be used as a video camera . In this way, the user could take advantage of said camera and its three-axis stabilization system to capture handheld images in a much more comfortable way when they are in places where the drone cannot fly or simply does not want to.

This would avoid having to carry a second camera which, although it may be interesting because it is a mirrorless type with interchangeable lenses, a larger sensor size, etc. It is also true that many times it supposes an extra weight depending on what type of needs each one has.

Also, if with DJI drones there were already those who launched accessories to make recordings in hand and hold it as the gimbal of the Ronin series of the brand itself, why not do something like that with this PowerEgg X? We think this is a good way to take advantage of the video capture capabilities of the product.

The webcam

And if all of the above, use as a drone and camcorder, seemed little to you, there is still more: you can also use this product as a webcam . All you have to do is attach the mini tripod that the company also offers to be able to place it in a much more comfortable position when you want to make a video conference or even some streaming on platforms like Twitch and the like.

Together with software that offers compatibility with live streaming on platforms such as YouTube, TikTok or integration with other services such as Zoom, Skype, etc., (also support for Windows and Mac) it will not be the cheapest webcam, but it will be a good one. way to give even more use to a very particular proposal.
