Just amazing! But shame that it can't avoid objects.
I was totally sold until I read it crops video to keep you in shot. Time will tell how well it works with real world use, instead of a well made marketing video

A case has been filed against Lily Robotics Inc. on grounds of unfair business practice on Jan 12, 2017.
The lawsuit alleges that videos on Lily’s website, presented as though they had been taken by the drone, were in fact shot by a mixture of GoPro cameras and DJI drones, a competitor model that costs up to four times as much and requires a skilled filmmaker to manually control the camera.
As a result of the alleged wrongdoing, the SFDA is asking for the courts to fine Lily $2,500 for each individual violation.
