HULA drone
With the HULA drone, the manufacturer HighGreat Innovation has created a device that effortlessly masters the balancing act between entertainment and learning. The drone is strongly reminiscent of the somewhat older DJI Tello, but stands out thanks to a variety of creative functions. We have summarized what these are here.

1. Augmented Reality (AR): Flying and playing merge
With the HULA drone, the real world meets the virtual world. Thanks to augmented reality (AR), you can integrate the drone into interactive games using the HULA app and learn flight techniques and controls in a fun way. For example, there is the game "Pump Up the Balloon" in which you have to navigate the drone through virtual balloons using precise controls.
A little adventure that promotes coordination and is a lot of fun at the same time, whether you play alone or with the kids.
2. Learn to program without prior knowledge
The HULA drone is not only a cool toy, but also a really clever learning tool. Using the HULA app, you can put together programming commands and control your drone without any prior knowledge. The programming works in a similar way to Scratch - with a kind of modular system, where you simply string together commands such as "fly forward", "turn" or "hover".

The drone then follows these instructions. A great introduction to the world of programming that promotes logical thinking and problem-solving skills and can trigger real aha moments in children. But be careful: Even as an adult, this can quickly become addictive!
3. Laser Battle Mode: Excitement for the whole family
Do you want to make drone flying even more exciting? Then try the laser battle mode! Here you compete against friends or family members and try to land hits with precise laser beams. The drones are equipped with infrared sensors that record every "hit" and thus ensure an action-packed gaming experience. With this function, the drone becomes a little "battle buddy" and ensures excitement and team spirit.
4. Impressive light shows at the touch of a button
With the HULA you can conjure up impressive light shows in the sky in no time at all. The drone has LED lights that can take on different colors and patterns, ideal for a small air show in the garden. With just one click, HULA flies in different formations and brings a bit of magic to the air even on dark winter evenings. Imagine surprising your family with a glowing air show under the Christmas tree. Amazement is guaranteed.

5. Safe flying thanks to intelligent obstacle detection
Of course, safety is a big issue, especially when children are at the controls. The HULA drone is equipped with four-sided obstacle detection, which automatically flies around obstacles. This makes it ideal for indoor use. Even if your child has no experience with drones, the obstacle detection gives you the certainty that the new toy will remain stable and safe in the air. And if it flies a little bumpy, the HULA will forgive a rough landing.
Easy to use for beginners and experienced users
The HULA drone is really suitable for everyone. From young beginners to technology-loving adults. The app is easy to use and offers a clear layout so that even younger children can quickly learn the basics of flying. For experienced users, there are additional functions such as gesture control, which allows you to control the drone with simple hand movements.

Also technically well equipped
In addition to its versatile functions, the HULA is also technically well equipped. A 1080p HD camera with a 120° gimbal enables stable and high-resolution aerial shots. This also makes it interesting for creative projects, be it a funny family video or a panoramic photo from a bird's eye view. Thanks to Hybrid Positioning Technology, a combination of GPS and sensors, the drone remains stable even in shaky conditions and enables smooth, precise flights.
Price and availability
The HULA drone is currently searching for Kickstarter for backers. Starting at 119 USD (about 112 euros), backers receive a package with a drone, additional battery and prop guards. In terms of price, it is on a par with the DJI Tello from 2020, but offers even more fun with more features such as AR games, programmable flight modes and a laser battle mode.
