Jumped on a last minute kite trip to the Cocos Islands as soon as they announced the travel bubble between IOT and WA and surprisingly scored 6/7 days of wind! On a 9m too!
Here's a quick snippet of my first attempts with the Skydio 2 autonomous drone while kiteboarding. Mildly terrifying experience, but truly some amazing tech for follow cam action sports!
Ah what a wonderful sight after drowning in two massive rain dumps on the southcoast in two weeks. That drone system you have is pretty cool and the images are fantastic! Good for you...
Coco's looks amazing... but i'm more excited about that Skydio 2!
Footage looks fantastic. The tracking part concerns me in that I'd be worried if it could see the kite lines while tracking. I guess positioning it upwind is the safest bet if you're alone, but again, with others i'd be worried about obstacle avoidance detecting the lines.
How was your experience using it?
Really nice follow cam footage! Great feature being able to position it upwind, I was wondering how you avoided the lines. You heart rate must have been up with no RTH feature and it beeping at you . Though it looked to be handling the wind fine, how strong was the wind?
Was the drone involved in those drive through the forest scenes!? Wow.. amazing tech mate! Thanks for sharing. #frothing
This drone footage below gives me goosies. Im going in September and will take the DJI air 2S for some recording....
