Lily is the world's first throw-and-shoot camera. It lets anyone create cinematic footage previously reserved for professional filmmakers.


Lily is waterproof, ultra-portable, and shoots stunning HD pictures and videos.

I seem to recall something just like this about a year ago. I may be mistaken, though...I'll have to look.

OMG...

How long before this gets into the minds of certain arms manufacturers as a killer frizbee?

Ouch.

Kindest respects

You can at the moment buy a full collective pitch model helicopter that will basically just sit there with no control input , flip a switch and it flies upside down without having to reverse your thinking . But it wont follow you around filming you obviously , that's kind of a neat touch . Bleeding gyros , fooling 14 year old middle aged men everywhere into thinking they can fly a helicopter .

It's been around for a while.
Don't think it can intelligently avoid trees/power lines/ obstructions/other rotorcraft so is limited.

There are some 'tech' which really get on my nerves but this 'Lily' looks great.. shame it costs $500 as that puts it up to around £750 in England as they always hike the costs over here.

Well hopefully it will catch on for those who are interested and the price will drop.. I have no need for one but as the video demonstrated the use of this technology is only limited by the battery powered flight time and our own imagination.

I can see it now.

People will have one of these following them around all day taking pictures and uploading them to Facebook.

Takes the selfie thing to a whole new level.

A GoPro killer! You just have to watch for the batteries, I hope there are an emergency landing protocols.

There are currently four commercially available such drones which will carry a payload of up to 75 lb.
What kind of "items" can you think of which would fit onto them?

a reply to: 727Sky

I saw this right here on ATS a few months ago, and I also saw it on KTLA news here in LA. Pre5y cool. Price will drop soon. It has been out for a few months, but the tech is still new.

I love the idea!

Great for recording your own sport activities, parties, live show, neighbour spying, following your spouse, children and much more!

It's similar to 'Falconry' which i just remembered and didn't include in my post yesterday.

Recently watched a video of Russian police using a drone for spotting trafiic violatios around a dangerious curve.
They would even show the drivers they had pulled over the vid of the violations. I don't guess they could argue about being stopped after that.
