This thing sounds way cool and the video quality is stunning. I'd
really like to get one but unfortunately it seems to be very closely

I knew of one of the drone which could track a person carrying a transmitter of some
sort. It sounds like this one can do so by 'imaging' the thing or person being
tracked. *That* is a hell of a leap forward.

Many of the better drones have a follow and/or circle mode which just follows the person flying it. That's been around for some time. This drone's obstacle avoidance and video imaging following capability are a big step forward!

Obstacle avoidance is what I need.
