Unusual Machines, Inc. (NYSE American: UMAC) (“Unusual Machines” or
the “Company”) announced today the closing of its acquisitions of
Fat Shark Holdings, Ltd. (“Fat Shark”), a pioneer in the design and
manufacture of ultra-low latency first-person-view (FPV) goggles,

Riot, Unusual Machines is well positioned to serve the FPV drone
