Hi guys! I just found out about the Mavic the other day, and I gotta say, I'm SUPER excited.... never owned a drone before.
But I have some concerns about tracking and collision avoidance. I really want to capture some 3rd person footage of my riding, but I'm wondering if the Mavic is up to the task.
Here's some first person footage from my chin mounted gopro. You can see my speed (mph) a lot of the time on the display. Most of the time my speed is in the 15-25mph range. I know very little about drone's and their limitations, so I'm wondering if you guys think a mavic could keep up? How long would the battery last going these speeds?
Also, the other issue I have is altitude. I ride from 9-12.5Kft and the thin air is obviously going to mess with the drone. Will high pitch props solve most of these problems? Are they even available for the Mavic yet?
How will the drone handle gusty cross winds?
Here's the video. Above tree line cliff side riding at 2:20, would love to capture that with a drone!
