The Nissan branded drone offers First Person View (FPV) capability through a live feed from the megapixel camera as well as a Parrot Cockpitglasses headset and Parrot Skycontroller 2 remote control. These gadgets help the drone to present a “truly immersive experience and unique bird’s eye views of adventure locations.”

According to Nissan, the Parrot Bebop 2 weighs approximately 500 g, and it and its complimentary equipment can be transported easily and compactly in a “bespoke backpack-style padded storage case.”

“The drone’s exceptional maneuverability and digitally stabilized camera create a fantastic filming platform, for great results over a flight time of up to 25 minutes,” reports Nissan.

The drone-equipped Nissan X-Trail is considered a Special Version pack, and according to Nissan, is available “across the X-Trail range on all N-Vision and Tekna versions as a £500 option, which can be specified when ordering via Nissan retailers in the U.K.”
