flying in the hills behind my town i was tracking a vehicle over a few km today.
At one point early in i noticed what i thought was two mavic pro shadows racing across a short barren piece of land - it confused me but i kept on tracking the car.
Later, going around a bend i saw another drone come into my view and fly nicely over and in front of me - i got quite a fright - turns out the guy in the car was flying his drone after his car while his gf was driving.
Below is a short video of a fun few hours chasing dirt trax and everything that moves on it.

Nice video Bekaru MP UAV . So what were the odds of another drone flying in the same airspace at the same time ?

It looked like a dji Mavic

Great footage buddy. Seeing another drone would have had me bailing out in confusion. The nearest I get to another drone is when Miche launches when I'm in the air try to muscle in on my shot, she normally wins the battle, her growl is louder than mine.

yeh - out in the back hills of no where - never occurred to me the possibility exists i would randomly meet another drone, let alone mavic in the air - glad we did not crash each other.

scary indeed - was half expecting to get some indication we had crashed - but after a few seconds of continued normal video feed i was able to relax again.
I think the other guy was also quite surprised - all ended well.

thank you gazmg - it is nicely rewarding when folks enjoy my video clips.
smooth turns takes practice - i usually start off jerky then when my fingers warm up and my mind slows down then i get my smoothness on .
glad you enjoyed the video - thanks for watching.

thank you sherman - till recently it was a pine plantation and not much fun to fly around - nothing to see and too many risks - but since they have cleared the land it is a flying heaven - and it is literally 5 min drive from my door in the hills behind where i live.
