UPDATE:<\/strong> The Lily Camera Drone has gone out of business and will be refunding its customers.<\/p>\n

The Lily Camera<\/strong> is an upcoming waterproof drone that has already garnered $34 million in pre-order sales<\/a>. The compact drone is capable of flying itself autonomously by using sensors and following a tracking device. This “throw-and-shoot” capability will make the Lily Camera the first proper selfie drone to reach mass production. Its fully automatic operation allows anyone to use it without any drone flying experience.<\/p>\n

The Lily Camera measures 10.29 x 10.29 x 3.22 inches and weighs 2.8 pounds, so it will easily fit in a backpack. It is housed in black polycarbonate and brushed aluminum. The drone is waterproof with an IP67 rating, and it floats so it can be landed on water.<\/p>\n

The Lily Camera’s flight specs are a minimum of 5 feet and maximum of 50 feet above head, and a minimum of 5 feet and maximum of 100 feet distance from the user. The maximum flight speed is 25 mph.<\/p>\n

Video resolution and frame rate is 1080p 60 fps and 120 fps slow-motion at 720p with a field of view of 94-degrees. Video format is H.264 codec with .mp4 file format. Photo resolution is 12MP. Other features include digital gimballing, image stabilization, and fixed focus. The camera has a microSD card slot and comes with a 4GB microSD card. The Lily companion app for Android and iOS can change camera settings, create custom shots, and edit and share content.<\/p>\n

The camera’s non-removable lithium-ion battery provides 20 minutes of flight time and takes 2 hours to charge with the 10A charger.<\/p>\n

The circular tracking device measures 2.05 x 0.66 inches and weighs 1 ounce. A waterproof wrist case is included so the tracking device can be worn. The tracking device also has a microphone and the camera synchronizes the audio with the recorded video. It also has 5 buttons to adjust flight positions (height, follow, lead, side, loop), take pictures, and land the drone. The tracking device has a 4 hour battery life and is chargeable with a micro USB cable. <\/p>\n

The pre-order price is $799 plus $20 shipping in the U.S., and the regular retail price will be $999. The Lily Camera is expected to ship in Summer 2016. Cancellations and refunds for pre-orders are allowed. Pre-order now at www.lily.camera<\/strong><\/a><\/del><\/p>\n
