AeroKontiki Fishing Drone- A clever way to fish in the XXI century
“Deploy from almost any beach, get the line out as far and as fast as possible, precisely target successful known locations, and catch as much as you need.”– Kyle Parshotam, CEO, Founder and Lead Developer.
Drone technology has unveiled a wide multiplicity of new prospects for both business and art. Companies and individuals are seeking new ways to implement Unmanned Aerial Vehicle machinery into our day to day life. What’s the goal? To enhance and revolutionize old habits, to reconstruct our society and improve the way we perform our job and common tasks. If you are a fan of fishing and drones, you will be pleased to know it is now possible to combine both worlds (watch video). Developed by EnviRobotics Limited in New Zealand, AeroKintiki is a high performance tricopter UAV with highly efficient propulsion systems to give extended range, or haul and deliver more hooks with heavier sinkers. AeroKontiki is mainly made of carbon fiber composite with all control systems integrated within the frame. It is protected with a fiber glass canopy customized with an automotive air-brushed paint. The aim is to meet all fishing requirements while at the same time having an easy to carry and control user-friendly drone.
