This technology is pretty cool but I'll probably wait a few years as I imagine this technology will keep improving pretty fast. Good find on these cameras though the others really do put the lily to shame, other than the water proof part lily just benefited from good marketing.
I see parts in all of these that I would want in one: The design of the Sprite is really cool and unique and is probably the most portable, but even their marketing footage isn't that smooth or high quality which makes me nervous.
Nexo plus looks super user friendly, but in a lot of situations you wont want to risk bringing your phone with you so I like to see one with the armband(or another tracking device), but also mobile friendly, & controllable by RC if wanted/needed.
Hot dog looks really comparable to the nexo, but armband style. Really liked the ~45 mph top speed to have in case you need it.
My biggest concern for wakeboarding and really just from the boat perspective, if (and when) something goes wrong most of these have like a home base GPS marker to return to but if that was the boat and you have since driven off in the boat would the just take a dive into the water? Also would be interested to see how they do on anti-collision avoidance, I saw some use Lidar technology which I would think should keep them pretty safe. Does anybody have one of these or another besides the DJI phantoms(since we know lots of people have been using those)?
