But doesn’t that involve you flying the drone to make footage by looking at something else?

What’s interesting about this Snap drone is that it’s pitched as something that will just stare at you so you can make fancy selfies. I could be missing it, but I don’t think this is how most drones market themselves.

It does follow mode, follows you automatically, even in a circle if you wanted it to.

Also this mode is not exactly new.. Almost all DJI drones have it, also, the drone would avoid obstacles if it detects anything while following.
