This is so cool! I could have something to do in church while that idiot is standing up front boring the shit out of people and conning them out of their money.
Very cool! But also very vulnerable to the joker with a sharp, pointy object…I wouldn’t be flying it near candles either.
The surveillance possibilities…… 🙂
You can buy them here.

Even with my interest in two man derigibles, this would be fun for about 5 minutes. Same with most toys.
30 years ago I did the same thing with a helium balloon and a fan. No remote control but a yard stick allowed me to direct the thing. The “fun” was getting it all balanced as much as possible.
I’d think Zeppelin Airships could have a market today. Slow and quiet. There is a niche market for everything.
Looks like their web store is down (server overload) and the one distributed they list is out of stock. At $39 these sold as fast as the newly discontinued HP WebOS tablets (now $99 if you can find them).
I foresee an Air Swimmer flash mob ‘aquarium’ on youtube.
I for one, welcome our new avo-pisine overlords.
The idea has been around for a while looking like dirigibles. What makes these cool is they look like fish however I don’t think they are at all durable. They lack the speed to avoid being blown away outside.
In other words I enjoyed the video but I don’t want one.
After watching the instruction video to get one operating. It became less a toy and more a job.
No thanks.

Smaller and with a random mode so you could just let them fly around the house, Also need a treasure chest that blows bubbles to sit in the middle of the living room.
