A group selfie is a great way to document a successful adventure, but getting everyone in the shot can be tricky when you're with a large group. And, while you can roll the dice on a good Samaritan to take the shot for you, there's a better way to immortalize a memorable outing. Meet the AirSelfie 2 Drone. Smart, compact, and simple to use, this drone lets you take your selfies airborne and capture truly original photos. It's available in the Boing Boing Store for 20% off.

Combining a 12MP camera with turbo fan propellers, this pocket-sized drone is capable of capturing stunning wide-angle shots from up to 65 feet in the air.
