IMHO the best drone for OOP would be something like a ... hoverair X1 w RID module, or similar super light drone w guards already installed from factory

r/dronesneutral2

from what I've seen the Hoverair is not a bad drone by any means

r/djinegative2

It might be a bit better in low light but with a lot of noise in the video. Also, the DNG raw files from Promax are really bad.

Here is a video of the HoverAir X1 Pro following someone going 25 mph... I don't think pure speed is the issue so much as the ability to follow at speed through turns and rops.

You can't go too fast or it will lose you, but mounting the optional beacon to your bike helps it follow if it loses you visually.

r/HoverDronepositive1

I love my current hoverair x1 for shooting on hikes even though it ends up in branches many times. I generally just want videos/pictures for personal use so video quality is good enough.

Thanks! Itโ€™s the HOVERAir X1 MAXPRO.
