Looks cool, one of the comments was something to think about. If all the people currently using GoPros' switched over there would be tons of drones flying around resorts...

Looks pretty cool. I would personally wait a couple years to buy it though so they can work out the bugs and figure out the obstacle avoidance thing.

That will never be allowed at any american ski resort, but everywhere else that isn't a populated area it could be cool. 20 minutes is weak AF.

I'm abit on the fence about this one, how does the drone know where chair lifts are? What if the drone hits someone? On the other hand it would be a cool way to film yourself but like the gopro you'd look like a twat using it unless you're candide thovex. That being said GIVE THIS THING TO CANDIDE THOVEX

lol i guarantee it would be allowed at Pebble Creek. And besides, who wants to film inside the resort? Best shots from this would be backcountry/sidecountry

I agree.

With that said, I don't even want to imagine the amount of tourists/gapers filming themselves ripping up those sick blue squares #hardcore

Oh yeah i forgot to mention something. They better have a damn good warranty cause I'm not gonna drop a bunch of money on that thing and throw it off a bridge hoping it will fly. But seriously this could be very sick.

Lily looks dope, but id wait for 2.0 or later when they get obstacle avoidance down and a little more fly time or changeable batteries at least

Thinking about getting one..its going to be a long time till a company comes out with an obstacle avoiding drone and the lily will only progress, the only problem i have with it is that you cant adjust height its at. Its a game changer in the drone industry for sure

Some places already outlaw drones. If a ton more people start buying them more will continue to do so.

Ya maybe if it wasnt $800 more then the LILY. The nice thing about the lily is that you dont need a GoPro, it comes with a camera, whereas the hhexo you may have to purchase the gopro as well so another 300+ dollars if you want quality video

How does it stay with you? What happens if someone skis past you then turns onto the other trail? Will the camera pick them up instead of you?
