"Selfie Drone" From Lily: $499

Lily's Selfie Drone Racks Up $34 Million in Pre-Orders

Kellen Beck | January 12, 2016



Pre-orders for Lily's smart camera drone have reached $34 million, equaling 60,000 units according to Forbes. The so-called "selfie drone" is slated to arrive this summer.
After throwing Lily into the air, the device will automatically start flying, following you and recording video in full HD (1080p) at 60 frames per second and take 12-megapixel photos. The company says there's no need for a controller, as the camera will follow you at distances between 5-100 feet, and it can fly anywhere from 5-50 feet about your head. By keeping a small tracking device on your person, the drone will know exactly where you are and keep its camera aimed at you at all times.
