It wasn’t long ago that nano-drones were considered mere afterthoughts compared to their larger, more attention-grabbing quadcopter cousins. Although previously dismissed because of their small size, miniaturized drones have recently become their most significant advantage. Since the FAA’s announcement in December 2015 flew largely under the radar, efficiency was a key consideration.
Due to regulatory exemptions, micro drones and quadcopters weighing less than 0.55 kilograms are not required to be registered with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA). While FAA regulations require a $5 registration fee for drones, the availability of information online has seemingly deterred some from jumping through the necessary hoops.
While addressing the increasing presence of personal drones and quadcopters in US airspace is crucial, the emergence of nanodrones has suddenly become an even more captivating option for enthusiasts who no longer need to navigate the complexities of FAA regulations.
Enter the . While its title may evoke Star Wars’ “The Force Awakens”, the Axis Vidius in reality boasts the distinction of being the globe’s most diminutive camera-carrying unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV). Although measuring just 1.5 inches square, the Axis Vidius is surprisingly compact, yet still packs a punch with a digital camera capable of live streaming video over Wi-Fi at 420p resolution.
The Axis Vidius allows for effortless management through its included controller or via Android or iOS systems from a distance of up to 100 feet away. Easily share stunning photos and live videos on social media platforms or messaging apps using the free Vidius app, and enjoy up to 7 minutes of aerial footage after just a 20-minute recharge cycle.
Like larger, more advanced quadcopters, the Axis Vidius’ sophisticated six-axis gyroscope stabilization ensures seamless balance, effortlessly maintaining equilibrium during complex aerobatic maneuvers, including precision flips and rolls, in its specialized stunt mode. If this deal excites you, don’t miss your chance to snag it until January 7 for the discounted price of $75 – before it reverts back to its regular $95 rate.

If you’re looking to enjoy the benefits of camera-equipped drone flying without the hassle of FAA registration, consider giving the Axis Vidius a look. While it may not be a bargain, the lack of regulatory hurdles makes it a relatively smooth process from an FAA perspective. By December 18, all commercial operators of drones weighing between 0.55 and 5.5 kilograms must comply with the Federal Aviation Administration’s regulations.
The Federal Aviation Administration is temporarily waiving the usual $5 registration fee until January 20, but it won’t be easy to evade detection indefinitely. That’s true, but what’s a pity is that your drone is so small that no one takes any notice?
Have you ever had the thrill of soaring a drone through the skies, its propellers whirring softly as you navigate its every move from the controller in your hands? To comply with federal regulations, pilots and aircraft owners must register their planes with the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
