Fantastic, Im really loving the 2K post compared to the 1080 that most people post as the 2K just looks so much better on the wide screens .

That was quite a road trip. Nice flying but you got bigger..... ones than I do. ??

 

[scro]

No wild claims about +5000m range on CE version of the MM? ?

I tried this once with a Spark but found we had to drive quite slowly (ie 15mph) so that the drone could keep up properly. What speeds were you typically doing in the car?

 

[crlmjohnson]

love it. outstanding flying.

Love the footage, thanks for sharing. Although I was waiting for the hand catch from the moving car at the end of the video.

They looked like Scottish sheep to me.

Was the car a convertible or closed? Windows open or closed? How close were you to the drone. I have wanted to do this but was concerned about the structure of the car blocking the signal.

Thank you for sharing. I rarely watch a flying video that is over 3 minutes, but enjoyed your entire road trip.

Very impressive. I'm guessing that you were shooting from the blue car that was seen a few times. What size screen were you viewing the drone on? I'm surprised how well you were able to stay connected. Like I say..very impressive!

 

[Rudiger]

Nicely done! Aside from the Scottish sheep, that looks a lot like Colorado

Indeed those are Scottish sheep!

Car is closed yeah. Passenger window was open a couple of inches so I could hear the MM throughout. We were never more than 80-100m or so away from the craft. There were no connection/video feed issues at all during the flight, the car doesn't seem to impact the range at all. Perhaps if you were to fly really high directly above the car then the roof may cause issues then but not when flying infront or behind the vehicle.

Thanks. Yes that was our car. I using a Huawei P-Smart android phone with 6.21" screen during this flight.

Is it legal to fly from a moving car? I've wanted to try it but I'm pretty sure it's illegal in the states. Awesome vid.

Excellent video. We’re you FPV? I wish I had the ability and the “cajones” to do that.
