NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - May 04, 2016) - Customers can now experience drones up close and personal inside the B&H Superstore in Manhattan, where a brand new testing cage resides within the "Drones and Aerial Imaging Department." Complete with a landing pad, the cage allows customers to choose any B&H drone and watch it fly with the help of a supervisor. The cage measures 900 cubic feet (10' x 10' x 9') and will be available to use during regular store hours. The new drone department, affectionately known as "The Drone Sanctuary," is located on the second floor just around the corner from the photo camera kiosks. There you will find a gigantic selection of drones, from the palm-able Hubsan H107D Quadcopter, to the larger, best-selling DJI S1000+ Spreading Wings Octocopter that can carry up to 24 lbs. Prices range from under $20 to over $30,000. These remote-control drones are available to test in the cage, along with other flagship models such as the DJI Inspire 1, 3DR Solo Quadcopter, Parrot BeBop, Blade 350 QX, Yuneec Typhoon G, and many more.
"People are blown away by the cage," said Eli Daskal, director of the SuperStore. "We provide our customers with a unique, amazing hands-on experience. We want all of our customers to be able to play with the drones and demo them properly. Our customers are very excited about the cage."
Considering the ever-increasing applications of drones, consumer confidence has never been more important. Civilians use UAV technology to capture footage of hikes, sporting events, parties, action sports and more, while professionals find use across many industries, including media and communications, urban planning and architecture, emergency services, security services, environmental management, and wedding photography.
