X8+ drone keeps you in its shot, and accepts lots of gear

3D Robotics' Iris+ quadcopter features a Follow Me function, which allows it to automatically fly along above a moving ground-based GPS-enabled Android device. Now, 3DR has added the same feature to its more utilitarian, heavy-duty X8 platform.
