That is pretty sweet!

That looks awesome.

To answer gliebig: "Does Lily have obstacle avoidance?

Currently, Lily does not have any obstacle avoidance capabilities. We have found that most outdoor activities do not need obstacle avoidance because Lily can follow the user's path. But again, there are no guarantees that Lily will not hit anything while it is following you. If Lily is about to hit an object you can press the middle button on the tracking device and Lily will stop, hold its position, and continue to film you."

Interesting release method they have too. Preorder for 50% off.

The FAQs have some pretty cool information too. 18-22 minutes of run time. Sounds like something good to toss up in the air when the big fish strikes.

Is there a guarantee you will actually get one ........ what if the company doesn't take? Do you get your money back?

The concept is really cool, but a whole 20 minutes of run time is unimpressive. For those who have filmed anything before, you know that goes by fast. I think it would be best used for adventure sports such as snow boarding or rapids kayaking where you have pretty constant action. If you were into a good bite it may be exciting, but 20 minutes of some guy peddling around and not catching would be pretty boring.

I think you would use it for just the special effects or special ocassions like when the fish are breaking or they are really biting etc. I think 20 minutes flight time on a single battery pack is not bad considering there is a camera and 4 motors and a controller ........ and yes it is made for the action shots and the special effects ........... your on board camera captures everything else.

@$500 for preorders, it's not that bad. It's certainly not cheap, but looks like a fun toy to play with.
How sucky would it be if it flew into your vertical rod storage and broke the tips and the camera!?

Or threw it off a bridge and your battery had run out on your wrist tracking thing!
