A short video to test  the DJI AVATA 2 Drone & see if it can keep up with Power Boats while chasing power boats !

You were surely able to follow with the motion controller but I have trouble accepting the strong banking in every turn - in manual you'd smooth that out...

Sky+boat=yes

Some cool footage.   

Magnificent chase footage Hieth.    It's a shame you didn't have a full battery when you first spotted the power boats.  

Quite the chase

I know will be looking out for them again

I tend to agree - I think with more practice I could get smoother but when I try to turn slower and smoother my hand shakes

I hope you have success in finding them again and have a full battery ready.  Have a great week Hieth.  

Really nice footage looked good fun - nice one

Thanks it was fun just wish I had more juice in the battery

Wow, that proved to be too much for Avata 2, but nice footage nonetheless!

I was only in normal mode due to the low battery so it may have done it if I used sport mode - I am going to try and find out when the next race is and go down again with a full set of charged batteries

Very cool footage mate
