Why you think touchpad is better than other kind of control ??? because you copy something just existing, like a certain parrot for example, with a “touchpad” called smartphone …
I would buy one. Would like a remote controller better with a phone app like phantom. Pretty awesome for boating, fishing hunting, and other sports of course. Maybe make watch optional?
Enormous machine for this kind of a task. I Think the tech behind this is suitable to be fitted inside a much smaller chasing.
sounds interesting, but will also need sensors to keep from flying into other objects while it focuses on you..
How Long can it fly? Usually a sub 1000€ drone with gimble cam can muster up to 30 min flight time before it needs to recharge.
