These selfies are a real sendup

Typically when I unbox a gadget to test, I use it until it does what it's supposed to or doesn't do it - either way it doesn't take that long. But after unboxing the Rova flying selfie, I couldn't wait for the batteries to recharge and use it again.

The Rova might look like a drone and act like a drone, but it's not really a drone. It's called a flying selfie, includes a camera, and is shaped like a quadcopter. It has a 30-meter communication range, via the Rova Wi-Fi network. Maximum height is 10 meters from launch.

A red button on the Rova gets it flying. Before I used it, I watched a video on the Rova site, where operators have it taking off and landing in the palm of your hand. That was the first landing I tried, and sure enough, there it was in my hand.
