Wow great video - editing to a few minutes from a few hours is always difficult.  :thumleft:
Does that drone have a "follow me" function?

Technically yes, but the footage at the canyon has Martina in front with me following. Bigmart was at the lookout, piloting the drone.

Awesome footage and report. Please tell us a bit more about the drone?

 

[CUZZY]

Wow!! That is blerry fantastic! Well done!

Awesome footage and report. Please tell us a bit more about the drone?

It is an previous model DJI Mavic
Can do 120m straight up
Has 5km radius
Has been flown at 75km/h like with a little help from a tailwind
It locks on homebase and if it loses signal, rises up amd flies back.

Navigation via joystick with tablet or phone as console

It is an absolutely awesome toy.
The latest Mavic pro had better lens and packs very small

 

[Clockwork Orange]

Thanks.....now I want one :biggrin:

 

[Heimer]

Thanks.....now I want one [emoji3]

For around 23k you can...
I dont often get excited about electronics and cameras, but these are next level toys.
