Default Drone footage

So I bought a DJI Mavic Pro about a month ago and just been getting use to it. It has a active track mode on it so you can outline some thing and it will follow it without any assistance. So I decided to test it out on my z06. Keep in mind I don't have any sound it's suppose to be like that. But in the future I will make sure to have some sound. Hope you guys enjoy. Love how muscular the car looks from the drone point of view.

That's awesome. I was just reading in the off topic about these drones. I have a small one I'm playing with to learn so I don't destroy a more expensive one like yours. Pretty amazing what they can do with those and the footage is cool.

Brother, that is just about the coolest thing I have ever seen done with a "Man-Toy"

I have been contemplating purchasing a drone, and you may have driven me over the edge!
