This was tough..

Took the Mavic on a Houseboat Trip and tried filming the family out on the watercraft.....it was pretty hard keeping up with them as it's very unpredictable where they are going to go. Overall, I'm happy with what I got. See who gets the song choice.

Song sounded like an Indiana Jones movie. Fun footage!

Out of curiosity did you try any of the ActiveTrac modes to see if they could keep up?

Cool video man, skills required to keep up I would think? Song choice is from the soundtrack of Waterworld...is it not? Thanks for sharing!

Nice video. How low were you? Looks like only a few metres. Did you try and get them to follow you instead? I wonder is that would have been easier.

We did but it could not keep up when the skis took off fast or made a quick turn.

Song is from Waterworld Garuda. It one point that is not in the video I got as low as 3' as trying to keep up I got a little down stick mixed it there and it was a close call. We did try having the skis follow me but the footage just didnt look as good. My favorite scene was the low flying chase and will be doing more of that in the future. All flying was in Sport mode, its the only way to keep up.
