Other Lily Camera Drone - New way to Record yourself Riding

[hondamxracer]

Stumbled across this on another forum. Who wants one? The pre-order price is $519. Close to the same price as a GoPro Hero4 black.

I was just looking at that on facebook. My only concern is that it only has a 20 minute flight time? does this mean that's its entire battery life? I don't mind doing 20 minute sessions but I would like to be able to do several per day. I guess you could always charge it in the car. Still, that thing is super cool. I was looking for alternative self flying drones that use a gopro since I already have one and the only decent one I saw was over a grand on kickstarter.

Agreed. The battery life is the only bummer. You would need a car charger for sure.

 

[makejetskiinggreatagain]

Seriously awesome though. Im anxious to see GoPro's response in the form of a competing product.

Its a 2 hr charge time for 20 minutes of flight

I've always though this would be a way I would prefer to use my go pro

That thing beats 1st person GoPro with a stick. I could care less to watch POV movies. This is the only camera option Id be interested in...of course I don't like people on my lawn either.

Built in battery bummer...

The price point and waterproof part is awesome though.

it doesnt have a way of avoiding objets either. Could run it self into a tree, pole, building, bird etc etc. The camera cant be changed, digital gimbal.

I still want to try it for $500. It will come out in February of 2016

ooo. going to have to get one of these.

give it some time and you will see plenty of options like these.

I think this is the 3rd one I have seen a promo for. Unless they keep changing the name?

This is something I am really interested but am going to pass until the 2nd or 3rd...maybe even 4th gen tech.
