The term “dronie” is gaining momentum

07 June 2017

Lately, the term “dronie” which literally means “a selfie made with the help of a drone” has become more popular.

The term comprises two English words: “selfie” and “drone”. It appeared thanks to pocket quadcopters, such as DJI Spark or Zerotech Dobby. Users perceive these UAVs as selfie drones. Because of its frequent use, the description “a selfie made with the help of a drone” was shortened to a brief word “dronie”.

Main demands for selfie drones are maximum simplicity, availability and small size. This trend is already replacing selfie sticks which, not so long ago, were considered one of the most convenient devices for taking photos of yourself.
