Wish I was active enough to get good use out of one. 👍

I wonder if I could rig one of those up to follow one of my r/c cars around...

 

[Dennisch]

That's so cool.

I've been looking at some of those self build kits, and boy, you can really empty your wallet on that hobby.

Wherever you put that little tracking thing, it will follow.

Meh.

RC drone racing is where it's at.

 

[TripleA5]

I'd want one to have a little drone buddy follow me around.

Imagine throwing it off a cliff before remembering that you never charged it.

Yeah but this one controls itself. So much cooler.

My issue is more along the lines of if it is fast enough to keep up

So far, I think this is the best non-military use for drone, for my exciting than what Amazon use them for...

According to the specs, it can do a max of 40km/h
But doing that speed means the motors are going full tilt which means battery time will be even lower

So it would need to be about twice as fast to keep up
Would be nice if they scaled this up a bit for better endurance though, since 20 minutes isn't really long.

It does say it is "software limited"
So it might be able to go faster but might be unstable, but i doubt the motors are powerful enough to make it go to 50mph
