No remote control unit of any kind, not even an app, is required. The drone uses facial and body recognition algorithms to track you, along with motion prediction algorithms to make a reasonable guess at where you're going.
Its basic flight modes consist of Hover (in which it hovers in place, panning back and forth with you as you move from side to side); Follow (flies along behind you as you're running, cycling, etc); Dolly Track (backpedals in front of you as you move towards it); Zoom Out (starts close to you, then flies back to a wider shot); Orbit (flies in a circle around you); and Bird's Eye (looks straight down at you from above).
