So I had a chap design me a 3d printed quick release mount system for my RC controller - and I finally got to test it all this weekend...

cool, but does the Mini 3 pro track a Harley ?

It does in the video… there are speed limitations and also you can’t accelerate too fast, but other than that it went pretty well.

Interesting test

Do remember there are no sideways looking sensors in the mini 3, I wouldn't want you to become an add on to the the two recent Mini 3  crash video threads.

Thanks Sean. We planned it out very carefully. Rode the route first, and I had a spotter riding behind me out of shot, keeping an eye on the drone, and connected to me with helmet intercom.

Thanks Stephen. It’s a great drone!

Nice mount.    Mini 3  did quite well tracking, especially when the rider sped up, but it does have it's limits.  Great job on this video.

What was your top speed?

What was your top speed?

Only about 30mph

Those telephone lines made me nervous.
Will the sensors pick up the lines?

Honestly I’m not sure lol. What I did was stop just before the lines, brought the drone down low behind me and changed it from parallel mode to trace mode, and I hoped it would stay tight behind me as I turned the corner. I also had my friend riding behind me and telling me though my helmet intercom of the drone was staying low enough. It worked anyway
