Almost as cool to start the day, compared to yesterday. I just wanted to go for a ride. I put some camera and drone gear in the trunk and headed out. Leaving at 8:40 in the morning was good timing: the traffic heading to work and school on Dobbins was very light. And up on the mountain, also very little traffic...
I rode part way up the mountain before mounting a camera and turning it on; the Insta360 X4 this time... but the HoverAir X1 stayed in the trunk. Until I got to the upper parking on the mountain.
I did a couple short Zoom Out flights, then a Follow around the parking area.
Time to make a decision: should I try a Follow behind me on the road? Yeah, let's go for it! I hooked up the beacon on my handlebars, fired up the X1 Pro, then down the road. Slowly. I had to come almost to a stop once to see if it was still back there. It was. Then off, being careful to keep the speed down for this first test on a twisty road...
Then, a stop and having the X1 Pro land on my hand...
Yes, it seems to be working as it should. I may work up the nerve to try it a bit faster next time. ;-)
I'll be working on the video. Busy day tomorrow, so it may be Thursday or Friday before I get to it.
A couple stills from the X1 Pro...
