Overview

Mota Group's revival of the Lily brand after Lily Robotics collapsed in 2017 without shipping its crowdfunded throwable camera drone. The Next-Gen kept the name and follow-me idea but dropped the waterproofing and throw-to-fly launch, becoming a conventional folding selfie drone with object tracking, return to home and a 4K camera. Reviewers found it well built in the air but overpriced at $699 next to the DJI Spark, and it quietly disappeared from sale.
