Drone fun

My wife bought me a Mavic Pro drone. The tech is amazing. One feature it has it will track any object you select. Here it is tracking my car.

That was great! What made you get that brand . It can't follow you from behind doing 60 mph?

I too have a Mavic, and I love it. Have not done any videos of my car yet. But, it is a blast to fly around!

How fast can it follow you? Also - for mountain roads for example - could you have it record and not run into a tree?

The drone will follow you up 40mph. No worries with trees or other objects. It has obstacle avoidance sensors, plus it's always measuring height, speed, distance etc. I hovered the drone 4 feet of the ground and took this picture, very great qaulity.

Only straight ahead. In your video, for example, the drone was going sideways.

It's cheaper to follow Sticky's posts for all of the drone you'll ever need.
Admittedly more aggravating though!

I just got one.... as the result of this thread. Thinking the spark would have been enough but got the Mavic Pro. Either will track you from the side, front, rear or circle around you automatically. Yesterday was a bit hazy out to begin with but here is uptown from right above our house:
