Great news for demo stage of event - I finally got shipped my pre-ordered revolutionarily DJI Phantom 3 Professional drone - it's the first time in the market when everyone is able to make aerial CINEMA movies (4K @ 30 frames/sec) with equipment only for 1,400 EUR. Before Phantom 3 Pro, the cheapest alternative was Inspire I drone costing around 5,000 EUR. Together with our newest partner - Promaksa - we will introduce it with on-site demo & training for every startup & event visitor. And this brings our startups to new level of Media technology. You can scan and make a 3D model of whole stadium just in couple hours of flights with this drone. So real-estate & media related startups will get to the 5th gear. Or maybe you want to start delivering product via drone in event? This guy can carry a bottle of juice to stage over the crown. And many more ideas what you can do with this next generation tool - come to StartupBBQ and experience it live by yourself!
