But this drone is not the same as a "traditional" drone, it appears you just set the mode, then let it fly out of your hand. No fumbling through an app for BT connection (Until you want to post the content, but Snap glasses make this super easy, the drone will be the same.) No looking for somewhere to launch because the props are guarded and the thing weighs less than a cell phone. No controls needed since it is all just gestures. If it runs out of battery I imagine it just lands wherever it is at. And it is the size of a sandwich, so it fits in a small bag - so you don't need a separate carrying case.
Another analogy could be the polaroid camera that 'democratized' casual pictures - this could be the equivalent 'democratization' for drone photography.
proud owner of gopro karma and like 5 gopro cameras. the karma drone i have a fraction of the amount of content from compared to the cameras because it’s that much harder
good example of this is skiing. i would bring my gopro with gimbal and get amazing quality stabilize footage or hold my phone in my hand and get good quality but not amazing. of the videos i watch or share, like 95%+ are from my phone. accessibility is huge
drones you have to set up. find a space for them. link them to your phone. tell people to get ready for the shot. make sure the location is good. probably do this 3-4 times cause it’s really hard to get a good camera angle the first time. or the timing right.
all of this means even getting one “post worthy” image or video might take you 20 mins. or even an hour. or as i’ve done many times you spend an hour or more messing around with it and don’t like the footage and throw it all away
