#12This is great. Now, we're just waiting for better batteries: stretching out 20 minutes of flight time across a day or even morning of skiing, kayaking, etc. is going to be difficult. I guess you can carry batteries with you.

#13These are cool, but...
1) 20 minutes is great if your sole purpose is getting video, but not if your sole purpose is surfing (let's say). A surf session might be 2 hours. Taking a break to put your dead flying camera away in the middle of it isn't ideal.
Still there could be work around for this at some point.
2) Air space. The real problem. If you're surfing (again) or skiing you'll annoy everyone with the sound of your drone.
Still for the more adventurous who get to surf or ski alone, this does look pretty awesome, but will never be as ubiquitous as the GoPro.

#14Wow! Preordered, but used my AMEX in case it turns out to be VaporWare.

Out of curiousity, what does your AMEX card offer if this is VarporWare?

#16It's waterproof, but still the lens will get wet. How did they solve that?
Also, does it have built-in collision avoidance?

#17In the video they looked apprehensive for a moment when lily landed in the river next to the kayak. Or maybe that was just me feeling apprehensive for them.
Re: Lily – Drone camera
#18Serious question. Is this not a thing being sold already? The design is really nice and the video is really well done... the waterproof seems maybe a new thing.
I have seen multiple promo videos for various drones offering same "follow me" feature.
Here's one I found in few seconds https://store.3drobotics.com/products/iris
The 3d mapping on this one is amazing.

#19I wonder how this handles obstacles. The trails we ride are not wide open ski slopes, or rivers, often times they are tight/wooded trails. Would like to see how it handles "close following".
Lastly, the part in the video where the guy just tosses it into the river was definitely mind-blowing.
Re: Lily – Drone camera
#20That is one of the first videos I've seen in a long time where I've thought "wow we can do that now?"
Thank you! This is just a glimpse of what one can do with Lily. Check out our website www.lily.camera for more information.
