Self following drone for cheap

[J-Glide]

I have been looking for a long time for a drone that would follow me while taking some awesome video footage. I found a few different models all around $1300, but none of them have obstacle avoidance. I just wanted to share one I found for $199 that does follow you, and has obstacle avoidance. I get nothing from them for sharing this just so everyone knows. I just wanted to share. https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/onagofly-the-smart-nano-drone--2/x/13288443#/

When I get mine in March, I'll post some video footage.

Looks nice and cheap, I was thinking on bying this one: https://www.lily.camera
But now I dont know

[tomtnt]

all of these drones remain vaporware- years on kickstarter/indiegogo - long preorder process - no delivery.. wake me up when one is ready to be purchased.

@tomtnt They're shipping out to backers in March. Everyone else starting April. Good Morning.

[tomtnt]

@erikbsteele as I said - wake me up when it actually gets hear and not another delay...

[simenlier]

@tomtnt Okay I will. What type of wake up call you want?
Here is a list you can pick one if you want:

@tomtnt

Patience is a virtue.

lol I gotta agree with @tomtnt I'll be interested when its actually out and available in the world/ lives up to the videos.

The other drones for 1300 aren't even doing this...for a reason, its hard haha so I don't think a $200 drone from a company with no history of successful drones will achieve it.

I'm hopeful but not supporting anymore kickstarters with unrealistic goals.

Here's a recent example - http://www.engadget.com/2016/01/20/kickstarter-explains-zano-drone-failure/

@J-Glide come to Miami, I'll chase you with my drone :)

Hopefully the story won't end like most of these drone kickstarter things do:

@simenlier that's the one i was originally looking at. I love it!

[J-Glide]

@braswell sounds like a plan!!!!

[fabuz]

I order the lily drone...maybe delivery for this summer...maybe not....

@braswell I realize it's not a guaranteed success, but I am excited to try it none the less. I'll keep my fingers crossed that it works fine.
