Questor Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 So, all you photography, videography, drone enthusiasts... Have you seen this? http://gethover.com/ First DJI Phantom, then Lily (sort of), then DJI Mavic Pro, and now this... Hello, my name is Questor, and I have an addiction...

Keith Posted October 21, 2016 Share Posted October 21, 2016 Nice, for someone who is fairly unimpressed by "drones" and feel they are doing a lot of damage to the sport of RC model flying, this I really like. Great design concept, really is safe (and probably legal in many places) to fly in a built up area and, if it works as well as that site stays it does is truly a practical autonomous camera, which is, after all, what most personally owned drones aspire to be. An absence of any mention (that I could find ) of duration would be my only concern? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gimlet Posted October 22, 2016 Share Posted October 22, 2016 I've been closely following the progress of the Lily camera drone that follows the wrist controller at a preset height and distance. https://www.lily.camera/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love the compactness and safety with the enclosed blades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wind is a big concern, anything more than a light breeze and a quadcopter has to tilt to stay in one place. Unless the camera is on a gimbal to stay pointed. A small quadcopter will be blown away by the wind very easily unless it is very powerful and has a large angle of attack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flying in wind over 6 mph is not recommend! I like the idea of flying around indoors with encapsulated propellers for safety. Will give a detailed report from my dog house in a few weeks?

Questor Posted November 4, 2016 Author Share Posted November 4, 2016 Even though when I placed my order they said "shipping in two weeks" I just received an update they I 'might' get the Hover Cam mid-December. Not the end of the world, but still disappointing. Q~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rehab1 Posted November 4, 2016 Share Posted November 4, 2016 Yes I received that notice as well. If the ship time is true we could both easy make a nice profit before Christmas selling them on EBay! One Mavic recently sold at a hefty 250% profit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
