Pretty nice. Who was controlling the drone especially when you were driving through the puddle?

Nice, I've been flying a Mini 2 for about a year, they are a lot of fun. Just be careful, no obstacle avoidance on the Mini. If you are worried about hitting stuff they make a prop guard that isn't too costly.

If you just let go of the sticks it'll hover and try to stay put. I should have parked it a little higher. I intended to go to the right side of the drone, but some river rock altered my path at the last second and I ended up going to the left. Much closer than I wanted to be.

Great videos. Great bike.

Cool drone video!
Tiger questions: How is that seat comfort wise? My S1000XR had a similar design and the further I rode, the more I slid forward against my tank, squishing my gonads in a non-fun way. I was good for about 45 minutes before I needed to stop and de-squish.
How are the Ram mount mirrors? I put mirror mount extenders on my BMW for the OEM mirrors but they still suck.

The seat could be better. It has 2 settings for height. I use the high front setting, and the low rear setting. So that offsets the downward slant quite a bit. It's good for 2 hours or so before I have to take a good break. I'm looking into a more comfortable saddle for my long haul trip later this year. They're not cheap.

The folding mirrors are perfect. Considering how often I drop this bike I'd have spent a fortune in hard-mounts. When I get into "likely to drop it" territory I just fold them inside the bark busters radius. They also make great mounts for GoPro, etc. Anything with a 1" ball. The only complaint I have about them is they get a bit fuzzy at 80 mph due to vibration. That's probably more an issue with the bike and tires (t-plane 3 cylinder and 50/50 tires).

Thanks! I looked into a custom saddle for the XR but it was $$$ so I passed. I will go ahead and get a set of the folding mirrors. I have seen my shoulder enough.

Another cool option is the Rottweilers.

Interesting that such accurate technology can be built into such a little device that it can fly with that stability, and get shots like yours.

This is just scratching the surface. I fly drones for a living (construction), full-time. You should see the other uses (measurements, volume calculations, etc) in addition to video (which I do a lot of as well).
FAA certifications, controlled airspace, flight plans, working with ATC just like you do in your day job.
It's a rabbit hole that is fun to watch others go down, like the OP.

Kinda making me want a drone over here. I dunno what I'd do with it, but that looks pretty neat.

My wife: "Why do you need another drone?"
Me: "Why do you need another Gucci bag?"
My wife: "touche..."

Same. My example is “black shoes” instead of Gucci.
Small world.

Spent the weekend at Big Bend National Park. You can't operate a drone from inside the park, but there is some very cool terrain in the area.
