Sony held its conference on Monday at CES 2021, the technology and consumer fair that this year takes place in digital form, in which revealed the design of the Airpeak aircraft, a mounted drone to equip the full-frame mirrorless camera Alpha to take aerial shots with a stable flight.
The technology company announced Airpeak in November of last year, as a project aimed at video creators and the entertainment industry, which would be launched in the last quarter of 2021.
Within the framework of the CES 2021 technology fair, Sony took the opportunity to unveil a first model of the drone that is part of Airpeak, a system of four propellers with a mount on the bottom to house an Alpha camera and two supports on the sides that retract during flight.

In addition, it has several additional small cameras that are probably for air navigation purposes.
