I bought a drone with the intention of getting some nice footage on an upcoming trip. But I have some concerns, my patience being the biggest concern....

The trip is two weeks with Specialised adventures in Namibia....iow the drone footage will be worth it.
Drone: DJI mini 3 pro with flymore kit, so it has a nice bag I still need to check if it fits in my Enduristan tailbag.

I have the option of dumping it in the support vehicle but dont like the idea at all...(support vehicle!? eish, wish I could do this post anonymous!)
I dont want to always be waiting for the drone in the support vehicle. But will the vibrations be okay on the back of the 990?
I also think if I fall hard enough to break it in the tail bag...I have bigger issues than just breaking the drone...

I bought some extra storage, but videos are huge so think I will see if I can get a hard drive to work from the phone.....therefore download to phone and then to HD.

Any practical tips? How to get flying and stowaway very quickly? I hate it if people wait for me.
Footage tips...should I focus more on closeups or far shots or....? I imagine if I will built a video a variety of shots is preferred?

Don't know yet how many charge opportunities there will be
