Follow a model airplaine with the mavic

[Fixaldo]

Hi folks,

Tried to follow a model airplane the other day. Thought I would share it with you, including landing at the end. No automatic modes where used, all manual.

Specs: The drone was set to sport mode, for increased speed. Cinematic profile 0,-2,-2. Polar pro nd8 polarized filter. Last firmware update drone and DJIgo4 (with registration). Worked like a charm.

Good job flying, shooting, and editing. Was the RC pilot flying FPV?

Thank you.
He was flying line of sight actually, no FPV. I was mostly focused on the screen because of framing, but was also VLOS.

Impressive! One of the few I watched the whole way through and actually lost track of time.

Very beautiful, great piloting skills, congrats.

I guess I wouldn't even be able to see the glider on my screen, not even mentioning trying to follow it so precisely.

And such wonderful scenery, where is that?

Very cool. Makes me want to go to the local RC air strip and try it out.

Thank you . I used a iPad for monitoring, a phone would be more difficult I guess. This was in the middle of Norway out at the coastline. Beautiful day!

Wow, and considering sport mode plus manual camera operation - Wow multiplied. I bet you will start receiving regular requests to film RC models. Keep it going and do share, I will watch more of your movies gladly - very relaxing.

Thanks a lot man. I was also a bit “mehhhh” about using sport mode. It works better than expected when it comes to smooth motion. But I did have a couple of twitchy movements in there.
