Spring showers will no longer discourage outdoor explorers, with a new revolutionary concept of the Umbrella Drone. The UAV which is available from DronesDirect.co.uk, will set you back around £1,299, but will make a useful companion for this season’s outings, by protecting operators from the unpredictable British weather.

No matter what the task, there’s nothing worse than carrying it out whilst trying to shield yourself from torrential rain. This limited edition DJI Phantom 4 tackles this issue head on, by allowing users to walk freely knowing they are shielded overhead by the drone-operated umbrella.

Boasting advanced tracking technology which links to the GPS signal of a mobile phone, the flying umbrella will navigate itself and track its owner's steps, sheltering them from each and every spring shower, so there is no need to operate it as you move.

The Umbrella Drone features up to 30 minutes of battery life, plenty of time to allow you to find a more permanent shelter, or just enough time for the shower to pass.

Adventurous Brits who love to embark on outdoor activities will love capturing the action, with the high performance 4K rain camera. The Umbrella Drone is also equipped with many of the Phantom 4’s other features, including in-built intelligence collision avoidance technology, which will help ensure a safe flight, even in the most adverse weather conditions.

Tim Morley, Business Unit Manager at DronesDirect.co.uk, said: “For those who don’t want to be confined to staying indoors, who want to drone in changeable weather, and those who don’t want to juggle managing an umbrella whilst carrying out their everyday tasks, then the innovative Umbrella Drone is a gadget not to be without. Not only does it offer intelligent protection throughout the worst of Britain’s weather, but it’s a fun and advanced piece of tech too.”

Morely continued: “It has all the DJI Phantom 4’s favourite features, with the added benefit of an attached umbrella to shelter operators from the rain. This is a truly clever and unique companion, which DronesDirect.co.uk is delighted to offer to consumers.”
