[QUOTE="Sparkbart, post: 19493, member: 652"] I think I know what you want a drone for based on your comments/questions, Let me tell you right now, There is currently NO drone that can do what you want. There is NO drone that can autonomously follow you down a mountain while snow riding or follow you on your mountain bike, or on your motorcycle. At least NOT to the degree you'd really want. I know as that type of drone is my "dream drone" and there isn't one out there yet. I've seen some that if you put it high enough in the sky it can track you for awhile but its not really cool to watch for too long and it can lose you in the trees, or too sharp a turn that it loses you. When I first heard about "follow me" drones, I expected something that you'd put up in there air, do your ski run or ride through a canyon and recover the drone when you get to the bottom of the run or at the end of your canyon run. They just aren't that good YET.... They can't keep up with anything moving at more than a walking speed. Yeah, yeah, I hear some people say they've seen videos or have had their drone follow them skiing, but its not what you think and its not for any long duration. Again, not like you'd imagine... I've seen some videos where a person has had a drone follow them, but when you read the actual description or watch the video, you can see that they had someone piloting the drone in sections as there is no way a drone could avoid some obstacles on its own. Also, MOST ski resorts do not allow drones. You'll have to back-country it. [/QUOTE]
