<p>Each year, crowdfunding offers us the best of innovative minds who come together to put out a brilliant idea. The current lot of crowd-funders have made interesting choices in bringing forth ideas that people can contribute to.</p>

<p>Here are some very unique products that are either currently under process of&nbsp;funding&nbsp;or have reached their final stage:&nbsp;</p>

<h2>AER&nbsp;</h2>

<p>AER leverages drone technology to bring you a whole new perspective. It allows you to throw your GoPro camera in the air for amazing aerial shots. It is a foam dart designed to fly straight and far while protecting the camera. The system is safe, although the user will have to fasten the kit well to the camera. The idea struck the founders when they wanted a cheaper alternative to make GoPros airborne.</p>
