Lily - The selfie drone!

I remember back in the days, when robots only were a fantasy. It was just a science fiction seen in movies like Star Wars and Terminator - witch basically had a negative view of robots taking over the world, or were used in battles (except for R2D2 and 3-CPO, witch I´d more that love to have as a friend!), and at that time most people dreamt of flying cars.

It was something we could´nt even dream about. Flying object, artificial object doing humans everyday´s object, making our life´s easier.

But look at us now, with all the developing of new technology. The smartphones, cars with different systems helping us and making it safer for us, programs witch help us to erase the big paper archives, camera security - all these things to make it safer for us and to connect us together.

And with this new technology comes new stuff our next generation can be happy about and take up our free time. And with the internet, we want to share everything.

Even drones, witch have´nt been here for that long, are taking over the skies, filming and monitoring what you want to monitor.

Lily - the new selfie drone

Earlier this year, Lily Robotics announced their new camera-drone i the US, and this is a drone for the amateurs - you actually dont need to know anything about drones to use it. All you have to do is to throw it in the air, and the propellers takes over.

This little drone is running fully automatically - you are´nt able to manually control it, but it´s function is sett to follow you with the help of receiver witch you strap onto your wrist, or having in you pocket.

For instance - If you´re downhill skiing and want some footage of yourself doing a jump-trick, all you have to do it throw the drone in the air and set off.

And the best part is - It´s pre-programmed to to take awesome picture and videos!

Many functions

This drone got many function, like if you´re about to jump, the camera register what´s about to happen, and turns itself over to slow-motion video. The receiver you got on your wrist (or pocket), got the mic, so even your sound get´s recorded. 

Wired reports that the camera got many of the same function as the GoPro Hero 3-camera; it can record in full HD (1080p), or in 720p with a clear 120 fps (frames per second)

You can even take a 360 degrees panorama picture and ordinary picture with a strong 12 megapixels!

Waterproof 

The drone can fly in a speed of 40 kph (24.85 mph), and can run for 20 minutes with a full charge, and got a range on about 30 meters (98.42 feet).

Furthermore, while not having the most impressive time airborne, in compensate with being completely waterproof. So, if you´re out rafting and want some overview footage you could just throw it in the water and wait for it to hover above your head.

The price

Lily costed approximately 499$ the first month it came out, but the price have been doubled since then - ending up on a 999$ since June this year.
