Take care not to crash it like this compatriot of yours did, right before having to catch his ferry ...

Nice vid Matt. We should explain a few things here...

This was the first time either of us had tried to make our drones follow us apart from Matt running up a slope by the (recently vandalised and inoperative) phone box and me judging whether it was actually ascending as he did.

My drone will follow up to about 36 mph I believe but I can't run that fast.

The terrain on that stretch of the Abergwesyn to Tregaron coach road was 'interesting' to say the least and when Matt set off I was laying bricks in case it followed him straight into the hillside. Or took out the power lines...if we had thought it through I would have followed behind to watch what the thing was doing and where it ended up if it all turned to shite. Which it didn't.

Matt's drone doesn't have the best of camera systems but until he gets a real job it will have to do

Well damn it to heckington. After Brian persuaded me to bring my quadcopter on our little Wales trip this week, we tried the Maven app thing which adds features to my Mini that DJI don't.

So now I can annoy everyone by doing bird's eye follow-me type stuff as well as onboard footage.

i.e. this.

So I'll almost certainly be bringing it with me alongside the 360 camera thingy. @Martin I apologise in advance for the day I remember I have them and keep wanting to pull over/climb that mountain to rescue it.

If it only does 20mph we better set off for the pyrenees in the morning....

Ah - my favourite phone box!

Well done for getting it working.

A phone box no longer I'm afraid. Party rubbish strew all round, box windows smashed and all the telephone equipment removed.
