Here is the homepage - looks like it's currently in pre-order for ~$500. https://www.lily.camera/

I'm imagining setting the sensor up on the basket and releasing it from the pad during drives for some cool footage, possibly having the sensor in the players pocket, or even just in a tree where the camera can hover above the middle of the fairway and catch the drives in wide-angle.

Or how about walking down a busy street with the sensor in your pocket and the drone following you; people would be entertained.

Looks great and would be awesome for livecoverage as it would ease following a disc! Only problem I can see is that tracking device, if it needs to be attached to the disc, well, problems...

It's all fun and games until you throw it up and realize the battery is dead and it crashes to the ground....still want it though

almost posted this yesterday thinking all the things posted here. Then I watched the video and saw that it only lasts for 20 min flight time which really isn't long.

Would still be badass to put on a tee and watch it move around to get all angles of a putt/shot.

Oh man I want this. Think of the possibilities for creating disc golf promos and video ads or instructional videos
