A drone is a flying, autonomous camera. A drone is so much a flying camera that in a release video for their newest drone, dronemakers DJI don't even say the word "drone," instead just referring to the latest unmanned aerial vehicle as a "flying camera." The features that make it drone-like: remote controls, onboard stabilization and obstacle avoidance sensors, GPS location and navigation programs, are really just camera accessories, part of the built-in airborne body for the new selfie machine. And the body is compact. "Mavic," DJI's latest drone, folds up, and is designed for backpacks and large pouches, rather than large, bulky, specialized carrying cases.
