Drones are all the rage right now and with details of GoPro’s Karma drone still a bit foggy, Vantage Robotics has released the Snap, a 1.26lb/570g autonomous follow-drone that shoots 4k footage.

With a built-in two-axis mechanical and electronic gimbal, Vantage Robotics says the Snap will shoot stabilized video at up to 4k 30fps, or super slow-mo 1080p 120fps or 720p at 240fps, and can even shoot 12mp still images in bursts up to 10fps — for reference the GoPro Hero4 Black also shoots 4k at 30fps, 1080p 120fps or 720p at 240fps, but can take 12mp photos at 30fps.
Measuring 13.9inx12.48inx2.48in (353mmx317mmx63mm) the Snap drone folds in half for storage and should fit in a decent sized riding pack.

Compatible with both IOS and Android, the Snap drone can either be flown using your smartphone or set autonomously to follow you.
Using the GPS location on your phone and internal sensors, Vantage Robotics says the drone has a "tracking precision of under three meters" so it should be able to avoid trees, power lines, and other obstacles out on the trail. We do wonder however if the Snap will struggle in areas where network coverage is spotty.
