I want one to tag along after my child as she plays outside, with a voice channel and geotracking (video channel only when she asks for it). True helicopter parenting.
Quadcopter parenting and all the interesting applications will require major improvements in battery capacity:weight ratio, though.

New drones tagging in after 15 minutes from another location to complete a full view without battery problems. Drones will be everywhere.
