Well done. Much smoother than I can fly so far. I must admit though, I was waiting for a chase scene.

Very nicely done. A gentle courting ritual caught on film!

If I recall, he (I presume) is in South Africa???

Probably freaked out some of those apartment dwellers with drones hovering right outside their windows!

In prep for an upcoming feature film project, working title 'The Search', I shot one of our Phantoms with one of our Mavics.
Speakers on - enjoy:

The deer at the end didn't know what to make of it so he bolted.

** Things aren't what they 'Look' when shooting from the air - Lense distortion etc pretty far also out of earshot

** Thanks for the cool replies …
Yes that's in JHB, South Africa
… Its harder than it Looks to 'AIR-shoot' a flying target (there's *three axis movement)
- but 'dwolfe002' threw down the Challenge - …

…. so herewith the 'Chase' … on a 6km Round trip - (cool, challenging project) -

With the help of Litchi - and some super steady thumbs - a 6km flight - with a Mavic Zoom Chaser - Ridge flying

I did this earlier this year. I put my phantom 4 into a lawn mower pattern (LONG paths) then followed it with my mavic. Granted, you better know your elevations, flight speed, and the end of the pathways...but it turned out great!

Awsome- You have to Fly it - the trick is to Match Speeds - and keep a shallow gimbal Angle for the Chaser otherwise you can Quickly lose it -

Very well done. That had to be a pretty difficult shoot. It is hard enough for me to catch a bird in flight and it is usually when it is diving at my M2P. Looks like a lot of work went into that. My hat is off to you. Thank you!
