3 Chasing the Polaris RZR with Avata

[Paleomanjim]

Chasing a moving vehicle was more challenging than I thought. The driver of the RZR is my step dad, 87 years old but drives like a teenager still and is fearless! We got lost down in a valley and spent a lot of time trying to find a road out that was not blocked. Finally he decided the only way out was a very steep rut up to a ridge. It was so steep my wife and I decided to get out and hike to the top. He made it but was really bouncing near the crest, crazy ride for sure. That part is at the end of the video.

Can the Avata camera lock onto the RZR as you fly behind it it?

No, it has to be flown and centered as best as the pilot can. I think with practice a pilot could get pretty good at it. Being my first time I was worried about hitting the back of the RZR as it was not holding speed but accelerating and decelerating. So easy to overshoot which is why you see me veer off to the side several times. I also tried getting out ahead so I could double back and get the RZR coming at me head on, but the Avata could not keep up with the RZR!
