The Lily Camera Is a Drone That Flies Itself

Follow the leader

The Lily Camera can then follow you around. I was genuinely impressed with how well the drone was able to keep up with me, despite my attempts to trick it by running in zigzag patterns. (If you don’t want the Lily Camera to follow you, you can have it hover and stay stationary while it records.) 

All of the video captured by the Lily Camera’s front-mounted 12-megapixel camera is also streamed to your smartphone, so you can see what it sees. The drone does a great job of stabilizing video. Although the wind was relatively stiff during my demo with the drone, images remained steady.

The makers of the Lily Camera also addressed the issue of being unable to capture ground-level audio from a drone: Audio is recorded by the tracker.
