Finally realized my dream to film my paragliding buddies with the drone!
Took some babysteps at first, so kept my distance. Looking forward to trying more shots and moving a bit closer... :-)

Nice video and good experience i think. Only one time i saw a paragliding in flight and tried to follow but a strange light on screen of my tablet it prevented me from following him.  Compliments.

Nice.  Very well done.  

Wow.... nice images and what a great idea.  Here's another idea for you.... Active Track / Follow the glider!  

Very nice!

Another usefull exemple of Mavic :-)

Looks Like fun . Good job.

Awesome video, nicely done.

Thanks mate! I must admit it was sort of a drone flying dream come true! The paragliders would have loved a bit more close up, but I think that confidence needs to grow slowly! Not trying to get my props cutting the lines here :-)

Definitely!
BTW, is that you in the trike? I saw a vid of a guy with a paramotor, who was at the same time flying his inspire to take footage of himself... that looked kinda dangerous though!

I thought about active track, but I felt like I had to do my best to keep up with it; having slowed down whilst trying to configure active track... I was afraid I would get too far away!
Also, in situations like this, where there are people's lives at risk... I think I prefer flying manually.
These features our beloved drones have are awesome, but they can not be trusted with lives.

Looked really fun

Very cool footage - always keep some distance as you showed

Just prudence. And then they knew you were following them with the drone. The paragliding that I wanted to follow instead perhaps did not even saw the drone that was far away. I will try again one day at sunset.

Yes that's me. I have thought about flying both at the same time...and then I came to my senses.

cool joost - i am looking forward to v2.0 - wishing you safe flying and happy landings.
