No, but I like the lead option! Pretty cool!

Price?

Edit: found this when looking for a price, $500 for 29 days, then jumps to $1000.

Looks cool I think I will be waiting a few years for the price to come down.

Leap of faith to throw a 1000.00 camera off the bridge lol

Nobody has it,doesnt come out till Feb 2016,or that's when it is supposed to ship anyway.I'm thinking about signing up for the 500 dollar option and telling the wife that's my xmas and bday present for 2016 :-)
I have a couple of concerns about it though,I emailed the company yesterday and they have not responded.The unit is designed to be waterproof so the battery is sealed in the unit.So you can use it for 20 minutes then it has to charge for 2 hrs,you cannot switch out batteries.They don't tell you what the expected lifespan of the battery is,how much to replace it,and I'm guessing you would have to send it in to them to replace the battery.Those are the things I'm trying to get the answer to.
This is the 3rd or 4th qudcopter Ive seen advertised that is supossed to follow you,none of them have actually hit the market yet,theyre all taking orders.I can only remember the names of 1,its called the airdog and its 1295.00 to preorder

top speed for lily is 25 mph, if you are making a lot of turns maybe it can keep up. I'd like to see the battery tech come up with one of these that could keep up on a full ride for an hour with a replacement battery you could swap out so you can keep going rather than have to pack it up and carry it with you for the rest of the ride.
It would be nice to do some videos with it but after a while it would just be hassle packing it up and worrying about keeping it from breaking.
I'd rather get a Blade quadcopter for for around $500, hang a gopro under it for videos and then have a high performance machine to play with around camp.
It seems like the market would be in just building a controller to where that could control your existing high end copter. just my $.02 :-)

The Hexo looks the best of the ones Ive seen and its the fastest{I think} The prototypes would do 44mph,we will see when it ships how fast it goes
