They dont require a gopro, you can use $75 Xiaomi that is ~equal to 3+silver. Lily stated video parameters match xiaomi perfectly.

Amazing. Lily is like half the price of the rest. Where did you get the $ price? Right now it's $500, no real options, right?

The price just seems unbelievably low compared to all the other options.

It is low because that's a preorder price. They need the money so they can order in bulk from the factory.

In any case, I don't believe that's the entire cost of the unit, I think that's just 'put x dollars down to be put on the preorder list' and you just might have to pay the full amount later.
