This would be neat a grand total of once.   After that, what's the point?

What happens if somebody nearby also moves their palms? Is the drone somehow locked on to just its operator?

This generation of kids will take self-portraits no matter what the cost. As soon as Justin Bieber or Kim Kardashian are shown using one, they'll all be sold out.

New drone looks sick, cant wait to get my hands on one. I'll take into mountains on a bike ride. Great tool for YoutTuber!
