Another concept camera to throw around

Leonard Goh | Jul 14, 2008

I don't really understand the fascination of combining a camera with something to toss around. Previously, we've seen the Tospom and satuGo, both ball-shaped cameras that snap shots while in the air.

Turkish designer Hakan Bogazpinar has conceptualized Flee, which is something similar to a ball camera. But the shooter is now attached to a petal-like contraception which reminds me of feathers on a shuttlecock that help keep the flight in the air stable.

But unlike its counterparts, Flee doesn't record the images onto a memory card. Instead, onboard Bluetooth is used to transmit the snaps to a paired mobile device. As far as we know, the range for Bluetooth is quite limited so we're not sure how Bogazpinar will work around this problem.

We can't really think of a proper use for the Flee except for reconnaissance when playing paintball or seeing your friends' reactions just before the shooter hits them.
