My daughter has a Friesian horse and has asked me to take some video of her riding the horse at the beach this summer. My plan is to gradually acustom the horse to the drone starting at the barn where she boards him. I live in NW Oregon and it rains all the time so I'm thinking to start the process in the covered arena at her barn. I've only had the Mavic 2 Pro a few weeks and have yet to fly it because of the rain.
Is the tracking capabilities of this drone good enough to track a horse with and without a rider? How about in lower light conditions such as in a covered arena? The arena has lighting and is open on 3 sides but when taking action pictures with my Nikon D800 and a F2.8 lense I usually have to shoot with a ISO of close to and including 6400 on cloudy days. Would this type of lighting cause any problems for the tracking and collision avoidance system of the drone?
Any other words of wisdom working around horses with a drone would be appreciated. I grew up around horses and my 30 year old daughter has been riding and competing in Dressage shows since 5th grade. We even took the horse to compete in a show in one of the hotels in Las Vegas this fall. Her Friesian is literally stunning (most common word used to compliment him by admirers) and even has his own Facebook page. This spring and summer I'm hoping to add videos to his Facebook portfolio and make him famous.
