3DR Iris
http://store.3drobotics.com/products/iris
The new Iris from 3D Robotics is a compact, ready-to-fly, fully autonomous aerial vehicle designed specifically for the consumer market. Iris provides point-and-click mission planning with 127 configurable waypoints that can guide it from take-off to landing, all from your mobile device or computer. Sporting a stylish and sleek body that resists crash damage, Iris is designed with a wide angle between the front arms to provide a clear view for its on-board camera -- an optional GoPro Hero 3 ® can be included with the package to capture your favorite moments from the most unique angles.

Iris includes an impressive list of features:
•Multiple control options provide redundancy and flexibility: RC, computer, phone, tablet
•Built-in data radio for real-time mission monitoring, data-logging, and control
•Powerful cross-platform ground station/mission planning and analysis software that runs on Windows, OS X and Linux, providing simple point-and-click programming and configuration
•Mobile apps allow intuitive “draw a path” mission-planning
•Picatinny rail mounting system integrated in the arms provides painless mounting for future accessories (stay tuned!)
•Camera options include a live video link with programmable on-screen-display, and will soon support a fully integrated stabilized camera gimbal with autopilot control
•GoPro® compatible camera mount
•Available with a 9-channel RC transmitter pre-programmed for the most popular flight modes.
•Pre-programmed GPS waypoints allow for professional-grade mission capabilities, such as: mapping, scripted cinematography, scientific research, and other applications where repeatable flight plans are required
•Robust arms and feet produced from Zytel Nylon® for the ultimate in wear, abrasion and impact resistance over a wide temperature range. They are easily and inexpensively replaced if required
•Auto takeoff and landing along with Return-To-Launchpoint command at the press of a button or under programmable failsafe conditions
•Follow Me function for the ultimate "selfies". In this mode, Iris will follow (at an adjustable distance) any ground station device equipped with a GPS antenna and one of our 3DR telemetry/control radios
•Geo Fencing provides a virtual box to keep your drone within a user-selectable space
•Failsafe programming options bring peace of mind in the event of lost control signal, GPS or low battery conditions
•External micro-USB port
•RGB LED for status and orientation
