Exclamation Designo S550 Video

Just wanted to share some cool footage I shot with my Mavic Pro. Going to try some chase mode footage in my next vid tracking the car in motion.

Nice car, you might want to make sure you're parallel in the lines next time.

Pretty good for a first vid! Def do more!

How cool would it be starting the drone on the arm rest and flying it slow up through the sunroof! Better practice a lot before you do that.

That would be very cool. I was thinking that a drone would be a cool tool to deploy when traffic is backed up so that you can see what's going on up ahead.

If I had the spark, it would be way easier to get that shot, not going to work with the Mavic Pro. =)

EasyPhil... lol... And yes, if that's real time traffic scouting!
