Mary Poppins Would Be Jealous: Umbrella Drone Floats Through the Sky

14:18 GMT 23.06.2018

Only in Japan: This $275 floating umbrella will keep you dry in the sky! - Sputnik International

It's a good old tradition when a man holds an umbrella for his lady, however, modern technologies seem to take it a step further.

Free Parasol is an umbrella drone which can be used hands-free. Special software installed in the drone is able to detect the top of a person's head and remain afloat above it.

Due to restrictions pertaining to the areas where drones are allowed to fly, hands-free umbrellas can only be used on private property, in places such as golf courses.
