In some embodiments, the device may include a control panel having one or more user control inputs, and a processing unit may be in communication with the control inputs. A display screen may also be in communication with the processing unit. Optionally, the display screen may be movable between an open and a closed position. A side wall may be coupled to a proximal wall and to a distal wall, the side wall, proximal wall, and distal wall forming a storage compartment. The storage compartment may have a storage cavity for removably receiving a UAV, and the UAV may be in wireless communication with the processing unit. A camera, for recording video, may be coupled to the UAV. Video recorded by the camera may be displayed on the display screen, and one or more of the control inputs may govern movement of the UAV. ## Claims ### Claim 1 A UAV controller device, the device comprising: a control panel having a user control input; a processing unit in communication with the control input; a display screen in communication with the processing unit; a side wall coupled to a proximal wall and to a distal wall, the side wall, proximal wall, and distal wall forming a storage compartment, a recess comprising an opening extending throughout a portion of the distal wall and exposing a portion of the storage compartment, the storage compartment having a storage cavity for removably receiving a UAV, the UAV in wireless communication with the processing unit and the recess configured to allow a user to manipulate the removal of the UAV from the storage cavity; and a camera, for recording video, coupled to the UAV, wherein video recorded by the camera is displayed on the display screen, and wherein the control input governs movement of the UAV. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the storage compartment is coupled to the display screen. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the display screen is movable between an open position, in which the display screen does not block access to the user control input, and a closed position in which the display screen blocks access to the user control input. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, further comprising a male track and a female track, wherein the male track and female track are configured to removably couple the UAV within the storage cavity of the storage compartment. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the UAV comprises a movable wing arm. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the UAV comprises a stun gun. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the UAV comprises an audio interface. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the controller case comprises a power source, and wherein the power source comprises a charging outlet for communicating power to a power source of the UAV. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The device of claim 1, wherein the controller case comprises a power source, and wherein the power source is configured to provide wireless charging to a power source of the UAV. ### Claim 10 A UAV controller device, the device comprising: a control panel having a user control input; a processing unit in communication with the control input; a side wall coupled to a proximal wall and to a distal wall, the side wall, proximal wall, and distal wall forming a storage compartment, the storage compartment having a storage cavity for removably receiving a UAV, the UAV in wireless communication with the processing unit; a display screen in communication with the processing unit, wherein the display screen is movable between an open position, in which the display screen does not block access to the user control input, and a closed position in which the display screen blocks access to the user control input; and a camera, for recording video, coupled to the UAV, wherein video recorded by the camera is displayed on the display screen, and wherein the control input governs movement of the UAV. ### Claim 11 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, further comprising an access cover, wherein the access cover is configured to govern access to the storage cavity of the storage compartment. ### Claim 12 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, further comprising a male track and a female track, wherein the male track and female track are configured to removably couple the UAV within storage cavity of the storage compartment. ### Claim 13 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, wherein the UAV comprises a movable wing arm. ### Claim 14 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, further comprising a leg coupled to the distal wall for supporting distal wall above a surface. ### Claim 15 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, further comprising a carrying strap. ### Claim 16 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, wherein the UAV comprises a stun gun. ### Claim 17 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, wherein the UAV comprises an audio interface. ### Claim 18 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, wherein the controller case comprises a power source, and wherein the power source comprises a charging outlet for communicating power to a power source of the UAV. ### Claim 19 (depends on 10) The device of claim 10, wherein the controller case comprises a power source, and wherein the power source is configured to provide wireless charging to a power source of the UAV.
