My guess is that the lily won't be as good as they are hyping.
First glance shows that it will only do 25mph claimed, and if there is a headwind where you are riding, good luck.
2nd problem is that they are only claiming 20 mins of flight time. Which should work out to about 15-17 minutes real life time. Then you're back to charging it for another 2 hours before you can shoot again. No replaceable battery on this bird.
Also, no real "gimbal", but rather just a digital version. Going to cut down on the usuable area.
The only real benefit to the lily is that it will follow a wristband and is waterproof. Other than that, too many compromises.
If it were my money, I'd spring for a Phantom 3 Advanced, at this point. Integral camera and gimbal. The only real problem is that support is not great, so I've heard.
But it will go much faster, 35 mph, has swappable batteries, etc. NOT waterproof though!
