lily-next-gen-droneDrones are all the rage these days, with so many different companies coming up with their very own take on what a drone should be like, and what it is capable of. While there are many pretenders to the throne, there are only a few companies which are able to deliver as promised. Lily is one of the more reliable brands, having launched the Lily Next-Gen. What makes the Lily Next-Gen stand out from its predecessors? For instance, this is a drone in the spirit of the Lily flying camera, where it is deemed to be a fun and simple selfie drone for extremely active people.

Sporting a point-and-shoot camera that is able to capture video in 4K Ultra HD or 1080p resolution, you will be able to ensure that precious memories are always stored in high resolution for editing later on. All of the video and still shots are shot using a Sony IMX 214 camera, where you will be able to enjoy 13MP stills in addition to the high resolution video. There are also multiple one-touch functions such as flight operations and media sharing to make it all the easier to use, while the Lily Next-Gen comes with up to 18 minutes of flight time which is extremely impressive considering the rather small form factor of the drone.

The Lily Next-Gen drone is also smart enough to capture follow-me video selfies thanks to object tracking software that can follow the user or another person. Apart from that, it is able to perform non-stop 360⁰ orbits around single point, letting you get that perfect Matrix shot done. For those who want to push the boundaries always, the Lily Next-Gen can be flown up to 3,280 feet from its take-off point, and is also equally adept at flying indoors courtesy of its optic flow and ultrasonic positioning technology that helps it to avoid obstacles below it. To further ensure that it does not get lost when outdoors, the Lily Next-Gen sports geofencing and automatic return to its take-off point. Expect to fork out $699 for the Lily Next-Gen Pro.

adiiDo you love capturing video of other people in action? If you are a particularly active person yourself, then you would also know that you would do well to capture yourself in action. If you have a partner or friend to tag along with you, that is fine and dandy, but what happens when you end up with no one to follow you on your adventures? This is where Airdog’s latest camera drone comes in handy, the ADII.

Available as a Kickstarter campaign, the Airdog ADII is deemed to be the first high-performance, auto-follow camera drone in the world. This autonomous machine is available as a Kickstarter exclusive, with production units being ready to rock and roll in time for an August delivery. Based on high-performance elements that are found in the original model, the ADII will set a brand new industry standard that merges advanced intelligent tracking technology alongside durable design and the most cutting-edge autonomous, all-terrain flight performance that can be found in the market at the moment.

The ADII happens to be the only camera drone on the market right now that has been specially built for hands-free from the ground up. It does away with the need for manned operation, hence ensuring the user would be able to enjoy complete active freedom with perfect content capture. There is the ability to set customizable flight trajectories so that more dynamic angles can be achieved alongside obstacle avoidance, while the presence of scenic-capture modes ensure unique filming perspectives.

With a pro-grade camera stabilization and auto-record system, users are more or less guaranteed smooth, framed, professional-grade footage despite being in the midst of the most challenging elements. It does not matter whether it comes up against issues such as high speeds, wind, water, and abrupt elevation and terrain changes, the ADII is up for all of it.

selfie-droneHammacher Schlemmer has been well known to produce some rather stunning devices and put them up for sale, and this particular model is something which not everyone would have thought of. Since drones ended up being all the rage some time ago, and the selfie phenomena continues to grow as many smartphones now feature a front-facing camera that have an equal or higher megapixel count compared to the back camera. Why not merge the two together and you would end up with what is known as the $299.95 Selfie Drone?

The Selfie Drone is deemed to be an easy-to-fly camera which will enable one to share “dronies” instantly to a social network of your choice. Just how large is it? Well, it is roughly the size of a Belgian waffle, where the novice flyer will be able to enjoy a 12MP shooter with an accompanying flash just in case there are some low light conditions that need to be looked into. This Selfie Drone is more than capable of capturing Full HD video (1080p resolution) without missing a beat, and it delivers smooth operation with mechanical stabilization. The best part is, all of its intricate parts can be controlled from a smartphone.

You are now able to take a group photo with family or friends in an easier manner than ever before, and the best part is this: no longer do you need to learn how to master the selfie stick — as you have now upgraded to that of the selfie drone. The Selfie Drone is capable of taking off or landing from your hand, in addition to having a working range of 98′ which should be far enough to capture even the largest group selfies ever. IT even comes with obstacle avoidance to create a stable flight path for this flying tripod.

There is a microSD card slot to stash all of the recorded photos and videos, and it features a free iOS/Android app to work with.
