"Looks to be an amazing piece of engineering but seriously, what's the usecase? "

This product is almost a reverse example of why you can't ask people of whether they need your product (Steve Jobs examples) since they could overestimate what they would buy until it comes time to actually do so.

My first reaction was "this is cool I have to have one!" and I thought of one case in particular where I was trying to film my car accelerating (a 911) but couldn't get my wife to come with me and besides she wouldn't do a good job anyway. But then I thought "well is filming that event important enough to get involved with this product at that price point and do I really need another practically single use gadget to have to deal with and learn to use?" I still haven't even bought a quadracopter with video (new dji 4 model) and it's not for price reasons. In the end I am thinking "ok so I will have all of this cool video then what do I do with the video exactly?" It's not that I wouldn't enjoy using these types of things but I have toys that I don't have the time to play with right now.
