Post Drone video footage of two 991S cars

Just bought a DJI Phantom 3 and decided to test out the new Point of Interest feature where the drone hovers around a designated interest point. Decided what point of interest would be better than a Porsche 991 911S? TWO of them!

Be sure to set the video quality to an HD resolution.

Enjoy:

Amazing tech. I have been itching to get one of those.

Nice day at San Gregorio...

These drones and their pictures are amazing now. The music score could be a little better.

@leanofpeak - Drones have come a long way since they were introduced and the new Phantom 3 is simply amazing out of the box. Now is the time!

@96redLT4 / @gbree - lol. I didn't want to spend a lot of time browsing through the royalty-free music offerings so just grabbed like the 3rd one I previewed. lol.

@sracer - We happened to be parked right over existing donut marks but it wasn't us.

Did you guys happen to turn left off 92 onto Canada Rd Sat around noon? I was behind you in my 991 cab taking my daughter home - I believe...

Ah yes, that was us! I immediately noticed you made that turn onto Canada Rd from 92W as soon as we did. That was good timing on an unplanned 3-car drive down Canada Rd (for the relatively short distance before you made that turn). I was hoping you were headed on a nice Sunday afternoon drive up La Honda Rd to Hwy 1. We could have had three 991's in the video instead of just two.

Now that you got some practice, are you going to bring the new toy down to Rennsport?!

The music reminds me of the TV show Teletubbies.

Yes, unplanned - Cars looked great from the rear!

Next we need a drone with tracking software to follow the mini p-car parade down Canada...

@david - I believe drones are banned at race events. I am, however, looking forward to bringing it to my first Porsche group drive/get together

@Lex - I wouldn't be surprised if teletubbies used royalty-free music!

@997xpress - the model I bought now has tracking software ("follow-me" feature) in the latest firmware update... which makes the drone follow me automagically so having it follow a group of us along Canada Rd is doable!
