Biki Underwater Drone ($1,049)

There are plenty of drones that will sort your aerial photography needs, but what about underwater fans? Step up, Biki. The bionic underwater drone is currently raising money on Kickstarter, offering a 4K video camera in a drone that looks similar to a robotic fish. Part-drone, part-robotic pet, it comes with automated balance, obstacle avoidance and can shoot 16 megapixel still images. It works at depths of up to 196 feet and has an automatic return to base function. A two-hour battery life per charge means you have plenty of time to get your underwater shots, and it comes with 32GB of internal memory. Plus it actually swims like a fish. What more could you want?
