Over $900 seems like a bit too high imho but the drone cam really looks sweet!

If Lily actually cost 900 USD in Sweden then yes but the price here will be appox $1500 which is the same as the two Slate MTi2's we bought. $999 in the US and $1500+ here..

I read this:

That's an early-bird special if ever I saw one!

Lucky Americans can still pre-order for $899 + $20 shipping = $919 (US only) from https://www.lily.camera/

Delayed release: so why not email them for your OS price?

Right now, our team is working relentlessly on Lily Camera’s flight control software. We’ve hit some challenges there, but rest assured, it’s nothing our team can’t handle. We just need more time. To accommodate flight software optimization, hardware improvements, and additional rounds of testing, we will be delaying pre-order shipments until Summer 2016. This was not a decision taken lightly. The key elements that led us to adjust our production timeline are outlined below:
• We hit roadblocks with our flight software. After launching our pre-order campaign, component optimizations required us to redesign core parts of our flight software to achieve smoother and more stable flight. This turned out to be a larger undertaking than expected. Due to the enhancements we made, Lily Camera now has more stable and responsive flight capabilities.
• We made important modifications to Lily Camera hardware. First, we added a waterproof sonar sensor for flight stability. Second, we upgraded our computer vision processing unit to enhance tracking performance. Third, Lily Camera’s internal structure was redesigned to reduce weight and increase strength.
• We need more time for testing. We have produced a total of 200 units so far and our team has started taking these out into the world. In order to thoroughly test the software and hardware updates we’ve developed over the past few months, we need to test Lily Camera in the most extreme conditions your adventures will take it. This includes (but is not limited to) high altitudes, breakneck speeds, rough and tumble waves, and beyond.
