What's the next step of flying drone camera

Apr 24, 2015 11:47AM PDT

DJI showed us a different way to use the drone. The idea of using multi-motor drone as an aerial filming tool is brilliant but what's the next step?

I often go to skiing a helmet camera is Ok but is there a better way of aerial filming and at the same time I can doing it myself? What if I make an autonomous following drone that could make DIY filming possible and free my hands also?

The manufacturers must guarantee there will no longer be flyaways - and take responsibility when it happens due to their software or firmware. A much better return to launch or home method is needed.

As for the cameras, multiple cameras on a single drone would be interesting. Follow Me drones are already available.
