Camera drone
Folding quadcopter that films from the air, some tracking one person
Folding quadcopter with a stabilized camera, flown from a controller. The follow-me models launch off a palm and track one subject on their own. Anything under 250 grams sidesteps the heavier registration rules in most countries, and packs small enough for a jersey pocket. Athletes filming alone use one for shots that would otherwise need a second person holding a camera. Wind and battery life set the real limits. So do local flight rules.

Flies a HoverAir X1 for running footage because it folds into a shorts pocket and is in the air in about fifteen seconds. He reckons he has crashed it at least a hundred times and it still works. A DJI Mini 4 Pro handles the faster riding, a Mavic the scenery.
