If you like Mountain Trail Biking and flying spark shooting .......

Amazing place..Spark did a really good job there, nice video and editing

100% cool. You and Spark are a impressive team!

Pretty awesome.. Pretty good with the Spark as a second camera.

Very nice.  Beautiful scenery there.  (but have to admit I don't think the music suited the video) .

Curious about a few things.

Presumably you used active track ?   From remote or smartphone ?  I'm guessing remote ?

Were you piloting or did you have someone else do that ?

Where did you put the remote if you didn't have anyone help you ?

Great work !

Really nice footage!

Thank you for appreciation,
I used the drone in active track mode, follow me, from the remote control, the drone followed me, the remote was fixed to the phone and cushioned with a large elastic, the phone was fixed to the handlebars with an aluminum stand.

the music just, I liked it

Thanks...great to know how you did it.  It’s how I would have done it, so good to see that it should work.  I want to so something similar one day (although probably just on a road bike on a trail, not full on MTB).  

Your video, you get to choose the music ;-)

nicely done. I must attempt some action shots

Perfect location. Good contrast between you and the terrain and no trees to go under.

Good place for hiking and flying your spark. Great video.

Great shots.. Now if only DJI add "follow me with descent flight" as option for active track mode. Please DJI, please..

if you go down and use the dynamic home point, home point to remote, profile mode, the drone drops with you

Great shootings, great landscape for biking !
Can you put a picture with the remote/phone attached to the handlebar?
Also courious how Spark will behave at higher speeds (25+ km/h) with active track on some downhills.

The phone:






The drone does not exceed 20 kmh but in sports mode it,
in sports mode, however, the active track does not function.

the elastic works as a shock absorber

Great video!

Thank you for the info, I've ordered an G86 mount now , looks sturdy !

It is very robust, the advice it is for you to remove it when you do not use it, mounted on the handlebar can be dangerous in case of overturning

Creative work. Is it stable enough to overcome the wobble from the bike?

yes, it resists the strong stresses and vibrations of the mountain paths and is sufficiently flexible not to break

Hmm, I'm thinking now that the remote will withstand all the shocks through its phone holder legs, wouldn't this weaken the legs and become loose over time... ?

the phone holder is aluminum (I believe ergal), and it does not move, so far I have not found the problem you mentioned, we'll see in the future.

Wow. That's nice.

Cool! Thanks for sharing!
