Warm up your drone with a sweater

What started out as a joke turned into something that could be useful—at least for drone operators from colder climates. San Francisco-based artist Danielle Baskin has made sweater for drones and it might be what you’re looking for if you think your drone could be getting chilly.

Baskin told The Verge, “It started as a joke / art piece, but actually drone-owners in cold climates have told me that their drones have problems with their battery life during the winter. I was thinking that I should add pockets to the sweaters that can hold portable heaters to make the sweater electric so it keeps the drone at a warmer temperature, and actually this would be useful, if not just for novelty.” Aside from that, you can think of it as adding a sense of whimsy and approachability to the drone. Or you could just be dropping US$189 for a very funny accessory.
