Follow me with a receiver?

[outofcontroldrone]

I was flying my phantom the other day and a guy came up and was talking to me and mentioned his friend has a drone that follows him with some sort of device/receiver that he wears around his neck and will follow him where ever he goes. Any idea on what drone he's talking about or is he full of crap?

Yuneec makes a "Wizard Wand" for their drones -- it's a remote and a tracking beacon.

Aisspace (autopilot) and Magic Leash (litchi) will provide this functionality.

Magic leash? Is this something that could be used with a phantom?

I saw one that follows a wristband that you put on and was waterproof, they actually tossed it in the water and it took off

Yes.....

I like the airspace on autopilot better, esp with the Apple Watch....

So is that done without your controller?

Are you talking about Lilly? I think it never came to be and the ad was all fake that they were using a normal controller to fly it that they never had a working model...

Yes I believe that was it

They faked the Lily promo video by using a GoPro and a DJI drone. Source.

I think the watch would have to be used in conjunction with an iPhone, right? I like the fact that it will adjust altitude if your phone has a barometer.
