There have been several rumors regarding a Xiaomi Drone, previously there was a leak which showcased patent sketches for a quad-copter drone. This time its an iOS control app for the Xiaomi Drone which has surfaced online.

The app actually made it to the iOS App store but was quickly taken down, but some users were able to download the app and take screenshots. According to one screenshot the drone will be able to capture 4K videos at 30FPS, 1080p at 100 FPS, 60 FPS or 30 FPS moreover, it seems the drone will be capable of flying according to set GPS coordinates in the application.

Suggested pricing says that the Xiaomi Drone would come in at around CNY 3000 (Rs. 30,000 Approx.) which may seem costly but compared to the industry leader DJI, which offers its 4K capable cameras at around Rs. 50,000 (CNY 5000) this would be a steal.

At present though, flying drones in India is still illegal with no clear legislation on the matter.
