New York: You can now click your selfies with the help of a drone. The self-flying Lily Camera is a new consumer photography drone specifically for capturing aerial selfies. It knows exactly where its subject is at all times, automatically tracking their location through a small remote with GPS that users keep in their hand or pocket.


Flying anywhere between two and 50 feet off the ground, the drone doesn't require any real-time piloting or a hand-held controller. You just throw it in the air, and when you're done, press a button on the remote and it lands back in your hand. Before takeoff, choose from a list of pre-set movements or programme custom shots on the companion mobile app.


Lily can follow a subject around for cinematic tracking shots, slowly zoom in or out, make a lazy circle around them, or just hover at a set spot in the air. The disk-shaped black quadcopter is a little over 10 inches wide and 3 inches tall. It weighs 2.8 pounds, and can stay in the air for 20 minutes before needing a charge.
