DJI Mavic Air 2.

You can't be moving while flying, so I was flying from a friend's boat. I had hoped the auto tracking would be good enough for this stuff, turns out to get the shots I have to do manual. I just can't drive my own boat AND fly at the same time :(

Flying from the boat is easy. Landing's the fun bit!

the Air 2S is the newer version, which of course came out a month after I got mine after waiting almost a year between winter and a wrist surgery.

Cool, thanks. I was looking at their FPV drones, would be bad-ass experiencing the feeling of flying...as long as one doesn't puke!

Sabr,

thanks for sharing. Videos are great. Boat looks awesome. Look forward to seeing you at the tiki lees weekend. Hit me up Saturday morning if you want to raft off our PC. Are you doing the poker run that Friday?

Chris

no poker run for us, but we should be there. my buddy is racing in it! I'll message you closer to the date.

I'm looking at it too, it does 4k video and 90 mph, so I could better keep up with the toys!

Made another one:

Running from Still Pond to Essex

Cool videos plus your boat looks super nice.

Got a faster drone.
It can easily keep up, if I can keep the boat in frame!

But it's only a 1 axis gimbal, so it can get a little sideways...


DJI FPV Drone... tops out at 60 MPH in GPS mode, or 90 if you're crazy enough to use Manual Mode.

I wish the Mavic Air 2 did 60, that would be the best combo. Learning to fly FPV is... interesting...
