Drones are obviously the easiest way to take footage with your GoPro. But if you don’t have one of these on hand (or don’t want to spend unnecessarily on one), a shuttlecock-like accessory called Birdie might be your answer. Obviously taking inspiration from badminton, the contraption lets you throw a GoPro in the air without damaging it. While it won’t stay up in the air for too long, it could provide you with some interesting footage or photos. You can throw it straight up or ahead towards something or someone. Birdie first appeared as an Indiegogo project but will soon be up on Amazon for $49 USD (around $60 CAD).
