I want to try this again with my new ND filters.  It was really tough to follow them and keep them in frame.

Really Niiiice. Your best is to find a spot where you can 180 degree view of their flight path and follow them...

I was going to try a POI and just have it do a big circle and let them try and fly in the middle and in front of it.

Yes I'll be careful about that. You have more control then they have on theirs. I saw them in couple of occasions flying too close for comfort around you. Better consider all kind of scenarios... but I was nice to watch something different...

Yes indeed... You did a better job at chasing the car and the kid...

but seriously I think if you hover at the one of the corner instead of the staying at the middle you will get a better wide angle view of the action and then shoot some vids in 60 or 120fps would be great too.

Keep at it...

Nice shot... ND6 filter?

1:30 Was a really nice shot!

Thanks, I had the 8 or 16 on.  I'm pretty sure 16.  I noticed when editing that my auto camera settings were definitely causing a lot of variations in the shots as it kept adjusting.  I need to mess with manually setting everything.
