have you wondered if you could fly 2 drones at the same time, one following the other?
Do read the youtube notes for more info.
This is not in UK and only over unpopulated region.

The phantom came very close to the other drone a few times. Nice video share.

Not something I would do.
But nice to see.

I only ever tried it once - with the P4 and the MPP. Very nearly came to grief over my farmer neighbour's fields. Never risked it again since.

Pleased to meet a person who likes to push boundaries.
Not easy is it, working the two. I also accept that it is most likely to end in tears.
I have done a few other mad things with my drones for which there are vids.
Flying deep underground in a tunnel, flying under a wide stone bridge and emerging in a steep climb through a narrow exit, and searching for an ancient shipwreck, 2.7km out to sea. Pre-planning is everything.
I started droning in 2016 and have never crashed. A few very close calls though.

My incident had a coming together. The P4 was hovering whilst I manoeuvred the MPP around it.  The prop wash from the P4 de-stabilised the MPP which collided with the landing legs of the P4 and immediately lost contact.  Heart in mouth, I ran across the field to find the Mpp hovering about a foot off the ground, and the P4 still hovering.  A couple of broken props on the MPP and scuffs on the P4 landing legs.  That was my lesson learned.. Tried to fly the P4 under a footbridge over a stream a while back and got the landing  legs wet but no damage.  My most recent feat of derring-do was to fly the Mini1 through the arches of a ruined manor house. That was relatively easy.

I felt tense as it passed through, my wife let out a gasp. I think we were suitably impressed.
Thanks for showing.

The Mini does make it relatively easy to do.  For each pass through, I stood directly behind the drone with it at eye level, then just followed my sight line through the gap.
