    Default Waterproof Drone that follows you around

    There is no radio controller for the Lily Camera, or at least it's not a typical one with sticks and switches. Instead of worrying about things like pitch and yaw, you just strap on a puck-shaped tracking device. Using a combination of GPS and visual subject tracking, the puck lets Lily know your position, distance and speed so it can keep you in the shot. Once Lily is locked onto you, the flying camera can be set to hold its position, hover in place and simply rotate to keep you in frame or you can have it circle around you instead. Lily can also be set to perform a fly out for perfect dronies or just have it have it follow your every move. A mobile app lets you program other flights paths as well as changing camera settings and editing and sharing your clips and photos. Out in front is a built-in camera that uses the same 12-megapixel Sony sensor found in the GoPro Hero3 and Ion Air Pro 3 action cams. Along with 12-megapixel stills, that camera can capture 1080p video at up to 60 frames per second or 720p at 120fps. Plus, the tracker has a built-in mic that's synced with the camera, allowing you to capture audio from the ground.

    That would be incredible on a sportfishing boat.

    To hell with renting a chopper.

    Pretty neat first design. But at only 20 min flight time and 12 mph it's going to need some work.
