So this isn't a great clip, bad white balance, and many others things but the reason I'm posting it is that I went outside for a quick flight around town and noticed snowmobiles on the lake and decided to see if I could get a well-composed shot of them and keep pace with the Mavic Pro.

I'm super happy with the Mavic's ability, especially since this is manual control of the drone without tweaking the sens, or gimbal settings.

thats cool - every bit of practice adds to the skill pile. i enjoy chasing things too - preferably things with engines so that they do not hear me following them.

Fun video.  Your yaw when you turned back to head for home was perfect.  Nice and slow so we could see everything.

I'm definitely going to work on more shots like this while the snowmobiles are out.

I had just flown over the stream running through town and saw the snowmobiles from about 300 ft up and decided to switch to sport mode and do a little chase. I caught up with them at about 30mph and being a new drone owner I'm really happy with the maneuvering.

I've only had it since December and have had limited flying with the freezing temps here.

I also think it would have been a good idea to see what fixed wing mode would do here shot wise.

Very cool! Thanks for sharing...

Well done video.  Smooth and interesting.
